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

So why do you insist they are Childish as they only look it?

so they appeal more to kids than the more mature games.

Because they look childish. But underneath the graphics they aren't.
erm no it is because it needs to look so kids can enjoy it and play so they all can.
OK Dringo, if the games aren't childish, how come Nintendo have got a childish image?
these all age games seem more childish compared to the more mature games becasue kids will only play the all-age games.
Damn it you don't understand.
You insist they are "childish" NO they look it as the games appeal to all ages so how can they be "childish"?
Look they seem childish but aren't in fact Older people will enjoy them more.
Scary doesn't = mature as mature isn't blood and guts and swearing? Sounds like a Teenage dream to me.

I dont think jeans are gonna make Mario and luigi appeal more to the older generation. They are still the same people and the history that goes with them wil always remain the same. I suppose you could say this to nintendo as a whole. they will probably never lose thier childish image. just look at the skoda car, its apparently a very nice car...but the image of the past still remains.
