Genuine question, not trying to be a dick. How do adults, grown ass men, still play Nintendo games? It's one thing if you're a woman or in your early teens, or if you're playing with your kids. But being 25+ and playing such simple games that are clearly made for children is just weird to me. I really only play stuff like DOOM wads, old point and click adventures, Tarkov, Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, Paradox games, etc

Not giving a fuck

>>713557813 (OP)
most of those games are basically virtue lego/board games
Are you really any better than the toddler?
Entertainment is for everyone.

>>713557813 (OP)
Because it’s fun you sperg

>>713557813 (OP)
i agree with the sentiment of the first part of your post because tendies are obese manchildren. but you are just as fucking bad, you literally only play westernslop. you don't belong here.

>>713557813 (OP)
You say that and then mention Doom, which itself is a simple game, and that's not a bad thing. When you get a simple and fun formula that's all you need. So there is your answer.

>>713557813 (OP)
Why is passable if an adult woman plays nintendo games?

>How do adults, grown ass men, play Nintendo games?
on an emulator

>>713557813 (OP)
It's fun, simple and they are short enough that I can actually play through the games without a massive time investment.
I got no time anymore for long length movie games or games that need '100 hours before it gets good'.

>>713557813 (OP)
You seem to be under the impression that playing doom or tarkov isnt a childish activity. I got news for you, its the exact same fucking thing. Both are activities for kids.
Thats like saying that as an adult you cant enjiy studio ghibli movies, which is fucking stupid. Only edgy teens and 20 something edge lords think actual grown up people give a flying fuck about how edgy the content is, all that matters is if its a fun thing to pass time.

>>713557813 (OP)
They're just fun. They also tend to be the only games you can play in a casual social setting.

>>713557813 (OP)
When you grow up you stop giving a shit about what other people think about your taste in media

Typical inability to empathize with anyone else's point of view. The inability to imagine that other people have different internal states caused by their different life experiences. Many such cases.

>>713557813 (OP)
it's mostly millennials
grown up men didn't have enough bingbingwahoos in their childhood so now that they got enough income they can waste on their man gooncave with all their favourite childhood shit in it

>>713557813 (OP)
It's fun. I don't think I care about Pokemon or Mario platformers anymore, but Zelda and Mario Kart are still fun to me as an adult.

>>713557813 (OP)
It's the same with those who watch superhero movies, some people(?) can simply stomach slop.

>I only play MATURE games for MATURE gamers such as myself

>>713557813 (OP)
Better question: Why do Steam Deck threads on 4chan, /r/PC Gaming, Twitter consist of piracy of Nintendo games like Mario?

I play them mostly with friends and my kids
Mario Kart I'd great for my kids, the driving assists are good training wheels

>>713558479
anon it's not that
those games are literally made for children, as signaled by the label on the cover
grown ups usually prefer things with more substance to it, surely most will prefer the grounded dark story of tlou1 to IT'S A MEEE, LE MARIO or some shit
>>713558173
because women are just children in an adult's body

>>713558654
not all of us are faggots. i have never emulated Shitch because i don't care about any of their games. i thought about it for Unicorn Overlord but decided to play other shit

>>713558630
How can you compare nintendo gameplay with superhero movies, my fucking god

This is an extremely childish way of thinking.
Is the original NES Super Mario Bros "childish"?
No, it's one man running from the left to the right in a platformer that defined an entire genre. It's historical relevance to gaming is extremely important, as are its sequels in Super Mario World, then you saw games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time revolutionize 3D games.

It's not childish to play any of those games, because games are meant to played, regardless of age. Is PacMan also for children? never stopped tons of boomers from hanging around arcades and putting in thousands of quarters to play pinball, galaga, etc etc. Games have always existed. They're there to have fun.

DOOM was also a game made for children, as were point and click games. Factorio and Dwarf Fortress are more complex, but that still only serves a pretty niche audience of gamers. There's all sorts of games for all sorts of tastes. Are racing sims for children because they're less complex than flying sims? Let's just pretend and say that Microsoft Flying Sim is the only game for adults, because flying a plane is what big boys do! That's not very fun is it. So stop taking yourself so seriously and just play games. Even the "mature" ones are played by annoying little zoomers and children who wish they were adults so badly. Your post reminds me of those children.

>>713558754
NTA but it's a fair comparison because they're both worthless

>>713557813 (OP)
I'll be fair and say some games like splatoon are clearly trying to draw the 20+ crowd, though it has other reasons you should avoid it. Smash as well. Zelda seems to be split between the BotW and toybox style 2D games. Everything else is unapologetic baby slop. The new Marios are especially bad.
It's absolutely a low test manbaby thing. I hate to say it but I see it in some of my old friends. The kind of guy who can't punch his way out of a paper bag.
Romhacks are badass though. The perfect mix of familiarity and challenge suitable for an adult looking to blow off some steam.

>>713557813 (OP)
Playing with your son is the only acceptable reason.

Late teens/early 20s are about the time I originally signed off of games, which it should be. Pussy, education, adventure, etc should be on your mind.

>>713558754
Both have manchildren as their target audience.

>>713557813 (OP)
Mario is really fun to control. Making that Italian jump around just feels good. Talking about super gameplay-focused stuff is hard because I don't know how to put it into words. So I can't really get into detail.
>>713558730
Gameplay-wise, Nintendo has the most substance out of the mainstream selection. I'm not going to deny there's more gameplay-dense stuff outside of Nintendo, but you aren't just going to find people who know of them easily.

>>713558954
>Romhacks are badass though. The perfect mix of familiarity and challenge suitable for an adult looking to blow off some steam.
yeah you played that My Little Pony Rainbow Time Adventures Nuzlock: Brown Hoofs REMIX edition? I wasn't fond of the self insert characters but the map design is INSANE. Would recommend to all my 40+ gamers out there.

I don't really play Nintendo that often, when I do it's something older usually from GC, N64,or SNES. Mainly play for nostalgia

>>713558730

>>713558730
Do you play videogames during in-person business meetings? Do you play videogames on a first date? The answer is no because your teenage-angst "dark" vidya are not for adults either.

You're all failures or will be failures.

The prioritisation of gameplay vs story is the big divide between Nintendo and Sony

Im not even pretending to be "le different" by liking their games - they are popular as fuck and arguably the most mainstream thing you can possibly play
I simply take issue with the implication that story driven games are better or more mature than gameplay driven ones - especially when so many story driven ones are terribly written or just unfun to play

I can see why a 5 year old kid would find this exciting and funny and interesting, but why a 20+ supposedly mature adult would I don't know
would you rather read a fairy tale for children or universally acclaimed non-fiction aimed at an older audience?

You're right. Sonic the Hedgehog is better than Mario.

>>713560286
Depends, if the non-fiction aimed at an older audience STILL sucks Which seems to be happening way more frequently for some reason and is outdone by a fairy tale for children, I think that's more of an issue.

>>713559694
Adults understand the real meaning behind this.
When life has shat on you for thirty year of adulthood you stop giving a fuck.

When my back crackles and pops, when winter makes the knee I fucked up as a kid burn in agony, when people I went to school with have actually started dying, you stop caring all that much.

I wanna buy the Switch 2.
I haven't played a Nintendo game since the ones that came out with the Game Cube, over 20 years ago.

Most people wouldn't know to recognize a good story even if you waterboard them with it, instead they just want to self insert, this is why every single westoid AAA game now is about a soidad taking care of his wife's kid after the divorce.

>>713557813 (OP)
Define a simple game.
Most Nintendo games have more mechanical depth than your average Ubislop game or popular cinematic game.
For instance how is a Mario Game more simple than a GTA game. Or assassins creed.
Compare the number of actions and mehanicks in those games to the amount of actions and mehanicks in above mentioned games.
If Mario looks like GTA but played exactly the same would you say its now not a simple game.

Seams to me you judge these games as simple not based on the actual game part of the game but the fact the games are designed to be appealing to all ages.

>>713561219
no it would be 1000%, dumbass lol

Real men do whatever the fuck they enjoy and dong give a shit what anyone thinks.
Kids or teens especially women constantly worry about how they are perceived by society and strangers.

>>713557813 (OP)
Society won't take you more seriously for playing "adult" games. Just don't be ugly. Ugly people doing anything is cringe.

>>713559082
>he's serious
The gameplay is a figment of your nostalgia and imagination. It's the same games for 10 year olds they've releasing since '91-'96 with one new wrinkle they pulled from an indie game.
If Mario Odyssey was Bubsy Odyssey, it would be a long forgotten 6/10. The 2D games would be shovelware if the image on screen wasn't a Nintendo mascot.

>>713561376
tbf he does give a few examples of "not simple games" even though that the only one that isn't mechanically simple or middle of the road in complexity compared to most nintendo games are paradox games but frankly I couldn't be arsed to waste my time like that.

Ain't no way you guys fell for this lmao

My wife will giggle while I'm playing Mario Odyssey or Mario Kart World listening to "*bing* *bing* WAHOOOO!" coming from the tv and in less than an hour I am fucking her brains out. It's called being an actual man and doing whatever the fuck you want, should try it sometime kiddo.

>>713558338
>You seem to be under the impression that playing doom or tarkov isnt a childish activity
Real tired of people acting like there isn't a difference between watching stanley's universe and the shawshank redemption as a 35 year old man when it comes to defending their decision to bing bing wahoo. Just own you like consuming shit explicitly made for children, stop trying to hide behind some blanket.

>>713557813 (OP)
I’m 27 and regularly play Super Metroid, LTTP, Mario 3 etc etc. Classic games are great no matter how old you are and I’d even say games like Odyssey are so amazing who gives a fuck how old you are.

if he was white and had a beard you'd be calling this cringe and onions

I would rather pay hard earned cash I earned and paid taxes on for every single mainline Mario game ever made, than be paid $100,000 to play that fried horseshit TLoU. I'll do it, but only if paid well, because that game is the diametric opposite of anything vaguely resembling entertainment or fun.

>>713561725
You can't deny that videogames are a childish medium dude, a fucking zombie game was considered one of the best stories in the medium

I'm not going to argue it's not generally viewed as more childish than reading or watching tv, it is, but there is also absolutely a difference between the kinds of games one plays as well and people trying to pretend there isn't is a massive cope.

The irony of grown men arguing over whether their favorite toys to play with are childish or not

>>713562329
There is no difference. Gigachad playing bing bing wahoo will always fuck 50x more women than you will reading books or playing "le mature gamer games" lol.

Because these people are on the same intellectual level as women, a 30yo woman won't see anything wrong with playing Barbie Horse Adventures because to her it's a game like any other. Similarly tendie won't see anything wrong with playing new Kirby game despite being a 30yo man.
It's mild mental retardation, they also struggle with understanding nuance and most things that exist as spectrum are black or white to them, games are no exception.

The truth is childish looking 3D platformers are really hard to play past a certain age. I still love and respect Mario 64 equally from gameplay and historical importance perspectives. Legendary stuff. But I was young when I played it. As an adult I tried playing the so called GOTY Astrobot, dropped it after an hour. Cute ass platformer game are just not meant for adults. It’s like Disney, yeah it’s extremely well made but it’s for kids. As an adult you might like a movie or two here and there. But if you are obsessed with this shit as an adult there is something wrong with you, like developmental disorder kind of shit

By the way none of what I said applies to 2D platformers like Mario 3, Mario World and Mario Wonder because they are amazing and hit different. That’d be like hating on a mobile game; it’s just meant to provide simple entertainment in a way that everybody can understand in small doses

>>713563843
But the entire world views video games as a childish hobby. Regardless of what adult game you think you're playing, the rest of the world looks down on you as if you're playing My Little Pony's Whacky Adventure. Gaming is a childish medium, always has been always will be.

Just play what's fun to you, why are you so concerned about what other people are playing and how it relates to you? If the game is fun, play it. Simplistic game elements don't make it a bad game. Some of the hardest games on the planet are extremely simple.

>>713563968

Children are always the ones most insecure about their hobbies. They desperately want to be viewed as anything other than what they are: a kid. Always in a hurry to grow up, but when you do you realize it's not what it's cracked up to be and return to the comforts of your childhood, to a simpler time when you had less responsibilities. You could still "have fun". It's unironically easier to do as an adult because you're old enough to know you don't need to worry about dumb shit like "is this childish?", because you're here for one thing: to play some fucking games and hopefully squeeze some fun out of it.

Yeah, but the most popular series with Americans are ones oriented around fights (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kimetsu no Yaiba, etc.)

Of course sports series like Slam Dunk and Kuroko no Baske do strongly, but they're more off-shoots. What Japan considers to be big anime is far more encompassing than these. Doraemon, Chibi Maruko-chan, Crayon Shin-chan, Sazae-san, Anpanman, and various others are far more ubiquitous there than the big FOTM series in the west. Of course One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Naruto are hugely popular too (I've seen Japanese watching Naruto on their phones on the morning train), but if there's a Venn diagram showing hugely popular series, there are going to be a number of titles that aren't in the overlapped part of the circles.

I got too much money and not enough free time. When I have an afternoon where I don't have to wipe the ass of a muli billion dollar corporation I just want to see pretty colors and hear a catchy tune. I don't want to be challenged in any way. It's hard enough writing a project management outlining everything they need to do to be successful only to be flown out to a major city and see they didn't do anything and don't know why they still have the exact same problem.

Filling the pokedex is honestly way more satisfying than a lot of things out there.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt:

>Fire Emblem
Genuinely good strategy game series. Nice if you want something turn based that isn't a 4X game or a Panzer General clone.
>Mario
Depends on what exactly you look at. The main platformer games are just very solid. Generally a bit on the easy side but often with enough end game content to be worth playing. Basically no different from playing a Doom Wad. Sport/kart games meanwhile are just very Arcady and fun compared to the hyper serious, and very exploitative, simulator type games. If I feel like picking up a game about playing Tennis or Racing, I'm far more likely to go for something that doesn't require me to actually learn how to drive a car.
>Zelda
I'm not the biggest Zelda fan in the world but it's nice digestible fantasy with some actual originality to it. Gameplay wise it's also fairly unique, at least compared to most adventure games. Still, most of the games have very specific appeal and I don't feel like going over all of them here.
>Metroid
Metroidvania games are just generally appealing. While you can find plenty of ripoffs, I still think there is some merit in going back to the original. They also generally take themselves a bit more serious.

Why are you ashamed for enjoying things in the privacy of your own home?

99% of men are less deserving of power than pretty much all women.

For all ages != For kids only.
No sane adult would buy "Learn additions with Adibou", but a Mario game can be enjoyed at all ages.
Other argument : playing them as an adult is completely normal if the rest of your life is in order,your wife wants to do pair bonding activities with you and you want to share fun moments with younger relatives.
Just like board games.

You seem to have a condition yourself associating difficulty with maturity. I know a lot of men do this and I get it, it's validating, but if you don't get that validation from games that are just hard or just simulations then why would you play them? Games are meant to be fun enjoyable experiences. Difficulty in games isn't even real, you can overcome anything with time investment. All that matters is how it makes you feel, there's nothing wrong with not wanting the validation, not wanting to think much, and just wanting to engage with it in a relaxing way and immerse and enjoy the experience created by artists and tens of thousands of hours of work. Games are beautiful, all games. They are amazing to even exist. Do you only watch mature complex movies with deep themes? Do you only enjoy infinite jest? I think men that can be adults and enjoy Mario and are mentally healthy and not a basedboy are a lot more attractive than one of the same appearance and plays games like you described. Not like they are bad, but there's def something attractive to me about not succumbing to social pressure about stupid shit and doing what you love. Other women feel the same I assure you. Just be confident in what you love and don't think this way about others unless you have a very solid foundation for your beliefs supported by multiple objective things and it has a point.

>>713557813 (OP)
I am 31, and I still play Nintendo games. Keep in mind though, I am predominantly a PC gamer and usually play RPG/Strategy/Action games. However, Nintendo games are generally a pretty good pallet cleanser. Their flagship titles are almost always very high quality (Odyssey, BotW/TotK/Mario Kart/Metroid) and I really don't know how you could possibly not enjoy your time spent with them as long as you like video games in general. Part of it is nostalgia, as I grew up with an SNES/N64, but I still think even without that the games are enjoyable.
Now, it is important to note that the more easy/babby games I definitely do not have an interest in. Modern Pokemon, Kirby (though I heard the 3D game actually had some challenging parts), Yoshi, etc. Those games are all too easy that they become boring. So I mainly just play Mario/Zelda/Metroid.

>age means nothing when it's fun

you will find out that age is just a meme to sell liquor and more liquor, more and more divorcing and solitude fueled by liquor and drugs to the weakminds like you, while the manchildren play away a tranquil fun life with their toys and funny anime

>>open any list of best games ever made

Blatant lie.

Got tendies seething hard with this one. They should learn not to take the bait

>>713561605
I do not understand why so many people like luigi. Is it all second place losers who empathize with him?

>>713557813 (OP)
They are manchildren. Just look at the replies in this thread.
Crazy that tendies defend this>>713561605
kind of behavior.

>>713582452
find me one (1) picture of c s lewis dressing like a child from his day or losing his composure and basedpogging the fuck out over something that he likes. you are not a great figure of history or legendary author. you're a weird fat guy that's overly fixated on entertainment aimed at young children. there's no comparison.

>>713584110
luigi went from a second place loser to a weak and cowardly but hardworking underdog over the years, it's pretty kino

usually because they're fun or I like some of their franchises, but Nintendo's been lacking in soul since they made the jump to HD, or they just bloat their games with collectibles to justify the price

>>713584804
>but Nintendo's been lacking in soul since they made the jump to HD,
no, it's all the exact same shit. you're just an adult now

>>713584505
i'd bet every penny i have that you could convince the hypothetical chad/stacy normalfag invaders from that old comic to play mario kart or super smash bros before you could convince them to play the borderline autism shit in the OP like dwarf fortress or paradox 4X games.

>>713584913
probably, but I don't give a shit.

Finished Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess a few months ago (I'am 29 y.o), and really enjoyed it,
i never played tendie games when i was i child , so it's not because of nostalgia,
Pokemon (with 3x fast forward) is also fun to me,
But yeah i don't get the appeal of other tendie games, especially the modern ones

>>713584448
>but hardworking
So... like mario?

>>713585762
No, mario is hardworking but also extremely lucky and basically born to succeed.
In comparison luigi is an average schmuck.

This is a good thread. So much cope from tendies, it's unreal. Grow the fuck up.

I find that an odd example considering Astro Bot lives more by way of its old references that only adults who grew up on these games will recognize. I have a harder time playing some Sonic games as an adult just because I'll find the gameplay fun but then they start talking.

>>713585994
Genuinely, what are you talking about? Mario and Luigi have always been equals when it comes to abilities. Luigi is just a bitch and that's the only difference

>>713586490
>Luigi is just a bitch
thats like, the point

>>713586570
So, Luigi is just Mario but a bitch. Again, what's the appeal?

>>713557813 (OP)
I loathe NUtendo, and im not even that partial peak nintendo either. But fuck off you rage baiting faggot

>mature games for mature gamers such as myself
if you care about looking childish with the games you play, you already do, no matter what you play. only an immature kid cares about looking mature.

did you try going to a school with uglier students?

>>713557813 (OP)
by not being a small pp, insecure faggot
most of the time, nintendo hides some depth to their games. mario odyssey has some very comfy movement tech for example

I play what ever the fuck in the comfort of my bedroom, dickhead. If I want to play DKC, I plug in my snes. If I want to play Crash, I plug in my PSX. If I want to play something to fall asleep to, I boot up a gameboy and play Pokemon.

>>713557813 (OP)
I don't really like Nintendo games but I understand the appeal. It's just a videogame, it's entertainment. It's an inherently childish field so complaining about playing "kids games" is redundant

>>713557813 (OP)

For me its a bit of an arc.
I also think adult hood is really not giving a fuck what people think about what you enjoy.
I played "adult cool shit" aimed at teens(never forget that mature games are aimed at teens) for 2 decades, I'm done with it.
1100 games+ beaten, and maybe 5 games had a story that stood out, yet all focus on that garbage.
I just want to play video games

>i-it's just a videogame! all entries inside of the same media are the same thing! identical! interchangeable! that's why i can't tell the difference between a shark tale and irreversible. they're both just movies for kids! i'm sitting down with my 6 year old to watch 'a serbian film' later tonight!
big brain takes coming from bowser's goombas today

This is a good thread. So much cope from tendies, it's unreal. Grow the fuck up.

i'd give it a pass if they still were good, otherwise i agree with you. nothing wrong with whipping out donkey kong country, mario 64 or any older zelda once in a while, but nothing in the last 10 to maybe even 15 years is worth your time besides a gem here and there. most of nintendo is extremely streamlined now

Wdym, mario kart is probably one of the most popular co op games ever
