Mario easily could be aimed at a more mature audience,

I REALLY doubt that Miyamoto would go in that direction. In fact, in a recent interview of sorts he was quoted in saying something to the effect of "You can rely on the fact that mario will NEVER be picking up hookers instead of coins, I promise you that" (Not an EXACT quote). I know that sounds extreeme but he's basically sending a message that he wont be gearing it towards a more mature audience. Which I think is good, id HATE to see another bad fir day , what a disgrace that was to Nintendo.

Anyway, I too thought Mario Sunshine was an amazing game. A bit childish, yes, but thats Mario, he wouldnt be the same any other way.

As for this new engine or whatever. It's got me scracting my head. No clue as to what he could be doing with Mario now, but id bet top dollar it will be A+ stuff. At this point i would expect nothing less from the genious of Miyamoto
