Super Mario Galaxy indeed is insulting for us adults.

Belching fishes are soooooooooo funny though!

Someone posted this on goNintendo in response and i loved it:

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

If I had a dollar every time someone called Nintendo for kids...

Sigh, such an idiotic commentary that clearly shows the maturity of morgan webb. I never watched G4 and I don't tend to start, but those comments are threading the line towards stupidity.
Sadly, it's part of a mentality that some people have, mostly, as has been adressed in this thread, teenage kids who want to prove something to the world, or adults who think that they are above and mature beyond anything with a more sensitive, colorful and fun theme than the usual blood, guts, crude and grey reality that they believe to be the only one for "adults".

Super Mario Galaxy was and still is one of the best criticaly acclaimed games of all time, not because it aimed for a young audience, but because it was a really good game, extremely challenging, with lots of things to do, a true evolution of the Super Mario series. What saddens me even more, is that this mentality is spreading even more, as new generations of gamers become more and more focused on gritty and crude games. It's a shame that the spirit of the earlier generations, up until the 6th gen inclusevily is being overthrown by this new mentality.

One of my favorite quotes, sadly the people this is pointed towards will either A not realize what it's saying/not know its pointed at them or B realize its pointed at them, take huge offense, and scream bloody murder until they "convince" you that they aren't immature, but rather you just don't care enough to listen to them anymore.

did she say why she feels like that...I personally think mario is for everyone and always has been...the only thing i didn't really like was the difficulty level which i feel they dimmed down a bit to appeal to the casual audience as well.....however i didn't feel insulted

I said I play super mario galaxy in a america middle school...idk why i did that... now i get called wiitard :'(... on the other note this doesnt bother me because I've seen the most childlish thing at a friend's house ( he likes shooters and mario games:) ) and a kid started shouting *You senseless nooB! Im goNna t-bag ya! you G** a** NI*** well... this tells me that when get shooters... im gonna mute. this was online though...

Not to really defend Morgan, but I think she means how the presentation of the game is then the actually game play. Its usually the most basic of conversation and dialogue in Mario games that give you that feeling of it for younger audience. I don't know if it simply the translation or Japan developers actually writing it that way. R&C gives a lot of inside jokes and deeper storyline like a Pixar or Disney movie does.

But most people will agree that you don't play a Mario platform game for the story but actually game play. Or at least that is why I do.

Even though I know who Morgan Webb is, I feel the need to facetiously question her identity so as to give the impression that I do not care for her opinion.
