This is a question that's been brought up several times, so I thought I'd make a thread about it. Do you think that playing on a Nintendo console is serious gaming? |

Well, maybe someone still wants to add something. There are still people that didn't post in here, so maybe it's better open :P |

I thought the ones with Robin and Zelda Williams were pretty decent. | |

Yeah, they were quite ok, but that was about it IMO. Most of the ads I see are either with children or with women/mothers. I never see "serious" ads. They're all so casual. lol |

Everybody define 'serious' because I'm sure you're all arguing over something that means something different to the person you're speaking to, and that leads to a poor discussion. I also want to know why some of you feel making things appropriate and accessible to people of any age / gender / culture / ethnicity, etc somehow makes it less serious or less worthy than the other games that are available.
Candy Crush is amazing and probably one of my most played games in recent times.
Plenty of people dislike Mario Kart and Assassin's Creed is on Nintendo consoles. ![]()
Explain how the input devices dictate the 'seriousness' of the games.
Super Mario Sunshine isn't an RPG at all, it's an Action game.
Give me a break, all the leading consoles end up with truckloads of shovelware, including PS1 and PS2. That's a misguided argument to make, especially when they're not 'Nintendo' games. They didn't develop them and most of the time didn't publish them either. The most they did was provide them with the SDK (software development kit) which is basically determined by factors not related to the game at all (like how much money and security you have). Heck, they might not have even provided it to them, that might have been from the publisher as well. |

1) In SMS you take the role of playing as Mario ![]() 2) I know ACIII was on Wii U, but not the whole series. 3) Candy Crush has no story nor depth. I know because I play it sometimes and it ends up making me mad. I guess the image of Nintendo isn't "serious". Xbox and PlayStation's image are at least 14+, but Nintendo is about 6+ Still, Nintendo has quality games, make millions per minute, and have thousands of games. That's pretty "serious" if you ask me. |

You fail to mention that most of those 14+ games are incredibly juvenile in their approach to mature (quite often following the boobs + blood + guns = mature equation). Which goes back to my earlier question: Why does making things appropriate and accessible to people of any age / gender / culture / ethnicity, etc somehow makes it less serious or less worthy than the other games that are available? Heck, if you want a proper mature game, the Nintendo DS/3DS has some incredible ones available on it, such as the Zero Escape series (though the second game in the series is also on Vita).

Boob, blood and guns. Exactly! Though I love all three of those three (Except for Blood and Guns) I think that is why people call Microsoft and Sony "Serious" Zelda and Mario were only the games that completely changed the course of gaming forever, but CoD's better coz da guns bro da guns. <_< |
