Title: ESRB rates Mario Strikers Charged
Post by: Super-Jesse on May 09, 2007, 10:56:05 AM
Going through the ESRB site, I noticed that they posted recently a rating for Mario Strikers Charged (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/msc). The game will be rated E10+ for crude humor and mild cartoon violence. I think it's safe to assume the crude humor is going to be provided mainly by Wario. Currently, Nintendo has the game scheduled to release "Summer 2007" on their press site.

Huh...although it may have been used for another Mario game, could this be the first Mario game rated E10+? This makes me wonder if they'll re-rate SSBM sometime.

Looks like the first game with "Mario" in the title to be E10+. SSX On Tour for GC was E10+ and had Mario, Luigi, and Peach. DK Jungle Beat, WarioWare Smooth Moves, and Wario: Master of Disguise were also E10+.

Is Nintendo bringing out "mature" games now? 'Bout time (The Aussie/NZ rating system is more simple, it uses G, PG, M, and MA15+. LoZ: TP and MPH were M rated. OMG!)

The OFLC rating system is no simpler than the ESRB's system.

E = G
E10+ = PG
T = M
M = MA15+

The mininum age to buy a M rated game is 15 years old, or if you looked like one. In ESRB's case, T for teens means you can go ahead and buy it if you look 13.

PG is "Parental Guidance" (duh) for under 8's. ESRB's E10+ pushes it up two ages.

And some other stuff would make both rating systems unbalanced...

And MEGAߥTE (I'm sick of copy-pasting your name), the ball doesn't even look like Samus' Morph Ball (it looks like the Spider Ball in Prime. Get it right.)

And I am sick of seeing your name at all.  Goodbye.
