You\u2019re probably just as likely to see a grown adult man wearing a Mario costume on Halloween as you are a 3-year-old. The sheer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.jp\/ir\/en\/finance\/hard_soft\/index.html\">number of Switch consoles sold<\/a> since the launch suggests it can\u2019t possibly just be children playing those games, not to mention the mountain of content about games like <em>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em> made by and for adults. And yet, when it comes time to critique a Nintendo game like the recently released <em>Echoes of Wisdom<\/em>, that age-old argument often comes to the fore: \u201cThe game <em>is<\/em> for kids, after all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In my experience, this statement is most often used to shut down criticism that\u2019s perhaps too specific or complain-y, like my take that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/opinion\/461122\/zelda-echoes-of-wisdom-smoothies-diet-culture\">Zelda\u2019s smoothies in <em>Echoes of Wisdom<\/em> evoke diet culture<\/a>. The assumption that Nintendo games are for kids is in itself flawed, and I don\u2019t think it tracks with what game creators and consumers say they value. Also, why wouldn\u2019t we care about the smallest details in a game that our children will play? (It\u2019s also a strawman argument, and maybe a bit of a hasty generalization, too, if logical fallacies are your thing.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">This common generalization about Nintendo games harkens back to the lazy and untrue perception that many American audiences hold: Anything animated is designed exclusively for children. But at least that opinion has fallen out of favor in American discourse alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/c\/2024\/1\/22\/24034466\/anime-viewer-survey-research\">rise in popularity of anime in the U.S<\/a>. and animated shows expressly for adults, like <em>BoJack Horseman<\/em> and <em>Archer<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>71% of Americans play video games, and most of them are 45 years old or older<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But that correction hasn\u2019t reached gaming just yet. To this day, most gaming-related headlines in mainstream publications focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/91209283\/how-playing-video-games-in-childhood-can-boost-your-income-as-an-adult\">threats and\/or benefits of gaming on developing minds<\/a>. It\u2019s only in the last decade or so that legacy media companies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/politics\/2012\/09\/27\/section-4-demographics-and-political-views-of-news-audiences\/\">whose readership is decidedly adult<\/a>, like The New York Times and The Washington Post, have launched fleshed-out gaming sections (although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video-games\/2023\/03\/31\/launcher-mission-end\/\">these sections haven\u2019t always stuck around<\/a>). More than a handful of times, when I\u2019ve told a stranger about my job as a games journalist, they\u2019ve responded by telling me whether they let their children play video games or not. It\u2019s important to note that none of this reflects the reality \u2014 Circana reported on Tuesday that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.circana.com\/intelligence\/press-releases\/2024\/71-of-us-consumers-play-video-games-according-to-circanas-2024-gamer-segmentation-report\/\">71% of Americans play video games<\/a>, and most of them are 45 years old or older.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"iframely-embed\">\n<div class=\"iframely-responsive\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tomorrow\/comments\/1729rp8\/if_you_see_anyone_who_will_say_nintendo_is_for\/\" data-iframely-url=\"\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/api\/iframe?maxheight=750&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Ftomorrow%2Fcomments%2F1729rp8%2Fif_you_see_anyone_who_will_say_nintendo_is_for&#038;key=a95589c51263af39f0de8ef8737db4f3\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When it comes to Nintendo, some of this perception is valid. In comparison to the average Sony- or Microsoft-published game, any given Nintendo-published game is more likely to also be appropriate for children, and Nintendo\u2019s marketing is filled with bright colors, chibi characters, and simple writing. Most first-party or Nintendo-exclusive games are rated E for everyone (<em>Mario vs. Donkey Kong<\/em>), E10+ for everyone 10 years old and up (<em>Echoes of Wisdom<\/em>), or T for teen (<em>Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/em>). M-rated titles, like <em>Emio \u2013 The Smiling Man<\/em> and the Bayonetta franchise, are rare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the fact is, nothing about Nintendo\u2019s marketing actually states that its games are aimed specifically toward kids or even young adults. When I asked Nintendo who its games are really intended for, this was the company\u2019s response: \u201cOur hope is that our games bring joy to as many people as possible, regardless of age, culture or gaming experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Further, just because Nintendo\u2019s games are appropriate for children doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re inappropriate for adults \u2014 nor that they\u2019re easy. The \u201cthis game is for kids\u201d argument has also been used (by myself and others) to detract from a player\u2019s expertise. I\u2019ve certainly touted my own successes in <em>Mario Kart 8<\/em> or <em>Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>, only to follow up my gloating with something like, \u201cCongrats to me; I can beat a game made for children.\u201d My apologies to my past self. It isn\u2019t that I think either of those games are necessarily difficult. It\u2019s that a game being perceived as easy doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s for children \u2014 and that difficulty is an entirely subjective concept that occasionally veers into ableism. (We see this in other parts of life, too \u2014 the so-called \u201ceasy\u201d walking trail in a park is often the only wheelchair-accessible one. Why not just call it \u201caccessible\u201d and leave it up to the hikers to determine whether it\u2019s easy for them or not?)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Regardless of how it\u2019s used, this argument is a great way to delegitimize a certain sector of games \u2014 a sector that\u2019s often dominated by players who aren\u2019t adult men. Maybe that\u2019s in part because the Nintendo Switch has been so successful that it\u2019s become mainstream \u2014 it\u2019s referenced in the chorus of Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s \u201cEspresso,\u201d for instance. Its handheld nature makes it accessible to a wider audience, too, and it\u2019s affordable compared to a gaming PC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Switch has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/276768\/global-unit-sales-of-video-game-consoles\/\">vastly outsold both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X<\/a> despite that it\u2019s significantly less powerful than both of those machines. Circana\u2019s report also reflects that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.circana.com\/intelligence\/press-releases\/2024\/71-of-us-consumers-play-video-games-according-to-circanas-2024-gamer-segmentation-report\/\">most of the adults who game are women<\/a>, and has previously reported that most Switch owners are women. And when a new demographic starts taking ownership of something that previously felt like an exclusive club, those unwilling to share the space attack the <em>way<\/em> that those newcomers engage. Particularly for women who play games, this often looks like labeling their preferred consoles and games as frivolous, casual, and unserious \u2014 like alleging that Nintendo and its games are just for kids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Whether it\u2019s <em>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>, <em>The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom<\/em>, or <em>Mario &amp; Luigi: Brothership<\/em>, Nintendo ultimately has confirmed that its games are truly intended for everyone, but perhaps more importantly, they\u2019re for <em>anyone<\/em>. Further, if Nintendo was only for kids, wouldn\u2019t all of us who grew up with it have moved on by now? <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/opinion\/466332\/nintendo-kids-ratings-adult-gaming-discourse\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that people of all ages love Nintendo products \u2014 consoles, games, franchises, you name it.
