When I said mature I didn't mean violence and picking up hookers. If you think that's what makes a mature game then I feel sorry for you

I know you didnt mean that. That was a quote made by someone else not me, so you have no need to feel sorry for ME. The quote was an extreeme example of the more simple idea that it wont be getting much more mature. But how can you gear mario towards a more mature adience at all ?. Instead of a water cannon youd have him use what ? An Uzi ? A tank ? Chemical weapons ? . Im just making fun but I DO see where your coming from Azuma. But really how would YOU gear mario towards an older audience ? I just dont see it happening. I can see maybe throwing in some more witty mature dialouge, but that wouldnt effect gameplay much .

Mario sunshine was an A+ title and if you refused to play it because it was too childish I feel sorry for you. I once said id never play Wind Waker for the same reason, and later realized I was wrong and the game is damn good (Although id still prefer it not be cartoonish)
