Super Mario Odyssey is the most recent one. It's insanely easy and took me a week to complete and thus became my first 3D Mario game I've ever finished. Also by complete i mean the main story, I still have several power moons to collect.

They're the same people who equate bright colors and middling difficulty as strictly 'for kids'

ITP: A guy who doesn't understand that just because someone is not of a company's targeted demographic, doesn't mean that the person can't enjoy the company's product value.

There's absolutely a difference in the target from Pokemon, to Grand Theft Auto, to Madden, etc. Doesn't mean people of all ages can't enjoy them.

This response is just stupid. GTA and Madden obviously have target demographics whereas Mario and Kirby don't. That was my point from the beginning.

Every product in the history of mankind has a target demographic. Are you dense?

Super Mario 3D World was totally designed for kids but I still really liked it. I just never used the invincibility Tanooki suit that you could use after you had died on a level a few times. Also the game technically ended well before you got even close to getting all the possible stars. Also I think most retro games in general were specifically designed with kids in mind - still, a lot of these are harder to master or even beat than 'mature' games that come out today.

No, not every product in the history of mankind has a target demographic. It's why some products are more accessible than others, derp

I'd sure love to hear what you think the target demographic of the original Super Mario Bros is though. Let me, guess, "gamers" lol

I'm sure that's why you're not coming up with a counter argument or answering my question because you know it makes your "point" look stupid. Lol

First thing they teach you in marketing is to define your target audience. You'll be laughed out of the room if you say "Everyone!" But you don't seem to have an idea of hoe business works, soooo...

Pokemon, Kirby, Mario, etc. are targeted towards kids. Doesn't mean adults can't enjoy them.

You actually think the original SMB is targeted towards kids? Or are you just trying your hardest to dodge that because you know it doesn't line up with your narrative

I like the Nintendo model on a lot of their games. Easy to beat the basic game, but hard to 100%.

Smash, Mario Odyssey, Pokmon. All great games that are made for small children.

Also, the average age of Nintendo gamers are in like, mid-30s. If you can't differentiate family-friendly and "kids only", then you might as well just exit the topic before you embarrass yourself further. Lol

Probably a ton of games, especially if you go back to classic games before legitimately adult demographics were made for games. They focused almost entirely on kids back then and didn't really see adults getting into it took some time for them to give that demographic stuff.

Do you seriously think that they didn't envision adults playing that game

I must be getting trolled hard here. You can make an argument for Pokemon because the anime has always been aimed towards young children. People who aren't an idiot know that Mario was never aimed at a specific age demographic

Like lol this dates back to "GameCube is a kiddy console days". Most people wisened up past that, but I guess not everyone did.

Resolution is a classic case of an insecure man who can't handle that the products he enjoys are made with children in mind.

What games were targeted at adults back in that era then?

I never argued against them being made with children in mind. I'm just not an idiot who thinks they were only aimed against children like you've hilariously been trying to argue. You actually think it's impossible to design a product that isn't aimed at a specific age demographic
