How many of you agree that graphics come second to gameplay? Nearly all of you but is this so? How many of you honestly think looks mean nothing?
Come on hands up wow a lot of you. Now how many of you think Nintendo is childish? Wow a lot of you again! Right now why? Oh right, the cute clouds, the lovely looking graphics. See what I’m getting at, you label Nintendo as a childish company because of the way the games LOOK.
Mario is enjoyed but virtually all Teenagers and Adults because deep down it is a clever game, brilliant puzzles and an expert learning curve. Would children appreciate this? I love Pokémon many of my sixth form buddies like Pokémon and why because they bothered playing it an enjoyed it. Blood and swearing doesn’t make it mature, in fact probably the opposite.
Childish games? Teletubbies, Tweenies and Bob the Builder are childish games because they are meant to be. Mario looks cute but as I say looks mean nothing and it is what is inside that counts! Pokémon lets ignore the cute graphics. You control various animals that beat up others and so your animals can become stronger and beat up more animals. You beat them up by setting them on fire, electrocuting them and blowing them up! Now that isn’t childish and so by adding cute graphics it automatically becomes childish?
No it doesn’t and I continue to battle on and insist Nintendo are not a childish company it just looks childish. Nintendo know this, they are making both Luigi and Mario look more grown up hence the jeans and by doing so these cute games will no longer be as cute and more acceptable by the Adult and Teenage generation.
Lets hope Nintendo can do it.
Here’s to the future

GBA games have not amazing graphics yet we love them. Tetris, graphics don't need to be good to be fun which is what we mean.
The games look childish so kids can enjoy the games more, i bet Pokemon might get a 15 if it wasn't so cute. It is so children canenjoy the game as well.

That's more or less it.

This argument/opinion is the same with girls/boys if you think about it some; Some people like the looks and some the personality, either way it's a win win situation. But either way in the end you will need them both to be happy.
You may not think graphics are important Dringo, but hey actually are, if the game doesn't look good now a days the game wouldn't be as enjoyable, it adds to the atmosphere. But then we need the gameplay. what would we do if we had to choose between the two?? well we would find the games that slightly more tedious.

if somthing looks childish then it is almost certainly being aimed at the younger geneartion and so the older generation will want nothing to do with it. be it a poor or good game.
Well try.
