Author Topic: Mario will be banned forever?  (Read 10406 times)

« on: August 23, 2005, 03:25:28 PM »
Ever since that "Hot Coffee" scandal for San Andreas, The Government is speaking about changing about what we play forever.

"We cannot allow children to access pornagraphy in Video Games."
Ever since games have been a fad, gamers want to see more. Then developers make games like Dead or Alive and Rumble Roses. Now young viewers would want to see what their older brother/sister is playing and their minds will be screwed. That's not a good thing

Violence in games.
Ever since Mortal Kombat, Parents are concerned about people playing violent games. Especially the kids. To his day, Violent games are still made. They are getting worse. People are now acting violent from Video Games.

In conclusion, If Video Games continue to grow out of control, They will be banned. Even EC games.

Mario, Mario, He''s our man, If he can''t triple-jump and ground-pound, no one can!

*GASP*

Actually I don't think that's needed to be worried about.  I'd like them see to even TRY to ban video games.

Ummm…Signature…?

I think that was a bit of a hasty conclusion.

Mario won't be banned. Nintendo has a reputation for making kids games. X box games possibly

 Give me a source, and who those quotes are of, and I'll take you more seriously.


 I think you're getting all tied up in a knot over nothing. Angry parents are not anything new. Video games won't be regulated any differently than any other medium of entertainment, which means they won't be going anywhere.

Hmmph, I believe none of this poppy****. Just because SOME games are violent dosen't mean that EVERY game will be banned. That is like saying- The man that robbed the store was American ALL AMERICANS MUST NOW MEET THEIR DEMISE BEHING STEEL BARS AND BRICK.

Good point, Koop.

I agree that they shouldn't ban ALL games just because some of em are bad. I would hate for that to happen. :\

The citizens of Gotham city are definantly on something. o_O
It's Mario's world, I just live in it. :)

I don't think they will ban Video games or Mario, but I would like to see all of those horrible GTA games off the self. I hate em...I hate em........I hate em, for God's sake!

Video games are (or at least can be) an art form.  Banning any video game because of its content would be a violation of the first ammendment.

Video Games will not be banned.  It is the peoples problems if they are offended by a game.  As there are rating labels, and, though I don't have a problem with any games, if a person has an issue with the violent/explicit games, then don't buy it.

Please, please, PLEASE,  stop talking badly about both Mortal Kombat and the GTA games.  If you do not like a game because it is violent, don't buy it!

First, Mortal Kombat.  It was not the first game to contain violence.  Yes, it was one of the first games to be as graphic, seeing as I can still get the 'rip-the-guys-head-and-spine-out' fatality nearly every time on the original,  but don't talk about it as if it is the spawn of Satan and all that which is evil.  If you are going to blame Mortal Kombat for introducing Violence, then you might as well pin Duck Hunt for the idea of shooting for sport.

And GTA.  I personally don't like them, but that's no reason to rip them off the shelves.  I have already said this, but if you do not like the game, dont' buy it.  As long as a person isn't influenced into buying a horde of guns and taking on gangs and the police, I don't care who plays what.

Even if there is some insane law that bans so called 'Bad' games, Mario would have to start sniffing lines and do the horizontal tango with Peach to come anywhere near that.  Though not a kids game persay, it is still light-hearted enough.  Also, any ban would never work.  The US tried that before, only saying booze was bad, and thus was made illegal.  It backfired.  Somehow, I doubt this would work any better.

Well, considering the courts seem to actually belive Jack Thompson, I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow stumbled upon something supposedly inappropriate in a mario game and had it's rating rise.

Good luck with that Jack. I'll be over here selling copies of GTA: San Andreas to little kids despite the fact that I have a manager watching my every move.

I'll shut up now before I give him any more ideas.

 Kelso: Guys this is a game of Cat & Mouse between me & Hyde. I''m gonna make him admit he''s been going out with Jackie behind my back.
Fez: Guys, what happens in Cat & Mouse if the cat is retarded?
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I remember a fake CNN spoof contaning a fake article about the Department of Homeland Security issuing a ban on Final Fantasy "in light of recent terrorist attacks"

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the government did something like that. They're always butting their heads into stuff that is none of their business.
