I was streaming Eternal Darkness with a friend a while ago and at one point we got the sanity effect that stopped the gameplay and showed something like "you have completed the Eternal Darkness demo" and for a minute it legit had me thinking "wait did we somehow get a demo disc for this game?" 10/10 gaming experience

[@subtledemisefox]

I knew about the game going into it, and didn't think I would be fooled by any of them. The one where it pretends to delete the save got me really good.

[@aztn19]

I wondered how well Eternal Darkness held up today for folks who didn’t grow up with it. I figured that most of its horror aspects were just specific for the tech of the time, like how DDLC on consoles isn’t as scary since a PS4 won’t glitch out the way a PC game would. I’m glad this game messed with with more people than just me almost 20yrs ago 😅😅

Emio - The Smiling Man really does earn that M rating by the end of the game. There's certain imagery and themes discussed, especially in the epilogue, that are pretty disturbing and upsetting especially for a Nintendo game.

[@gamer3ed484]

Yeah. By the time the credits rolled, I was not 100% sold. It felt like it was an extremely soft M-Rating and that the story wrapped up a little too quickly. But then the epilogue happened and…let’s just say that was one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in any game, let alone a Nintendo game. The game as a whole was like an 8/10 for me, but that epilogue bumps it up to a 9 or 10 easily.

[@lam2142]

I mean, it's pretty obvious the game deserves the M rating when a woman says her breasts are real.

[@zeldadonkey1]

He did say what he played so far. So he most likely didn't get there yet. But yeah I agree, most of the game I thought "why is this rated m?" And then the ending and epilogue happened

[@joegardner851]

Dude I love this game. But I was confuse why it was M rated. I thought it was for the little blood in it(I didn’t play the other games in the series until I beat Emio) but omg that sh*t was disturbing

[@gamer3ed484]

@@joegardner851 Yeah. The actual main game is no more violent than the other two games in the series, but the epilogue is so much more violent it’s insane. I flinched from that scene that takes place in a TV reflection. Anyone who’s seen it knows what I mean. Definitely the most violent thing Nintendo has published that I can think of. Especially since it’s so realistic. Exploding bodies in Bayonetta might be more violent, but it’s definitely got an air of fantasy about it. Emio feels more visceral and grounded.

[@BugsyFoga]

Even though they’ve been doing it for years, Nintendo releasing M rated titles still feels a bit jarring knowing the family friendly image they have , sort like when Disney used the touchstone label to release more adult oriented movies than what their usual brand provides.

I think Visual Novels are a great medium for the horror genre so I certainly wasn't disappointed by the Emio reveal It's a shame some people only care about 3D survival horror

Trust me, the M rating on Emio isn’t just because of the “serious themes” 😅 im not gonna spoil it, but the epilogue at the end of the game is absolutely crazy, and some scenes genuinely made me look away from my screen because of how intense it was

I’m nearly half way into Emio right now, it’s my first visual novel. I keep hearing about the epilogue being the best part but the story has me interested as I love criminal investigation programmes so this has been enjoyable so far. Is it only the epilogue that is scary? Also do u guys have any other visual novel recommendations as I wouldn’t mind trying a couple others after this one. Take care

[@hexenvexen]

@@Sar1386 The main story never gets too bad, there is some blood but overall it's very much a soft M-rating. However once the first credits role and you unlock the epilogue, the game actually gives you a content warning saying "hey you should make sure you're ready before you play this", and yeah the epilogue is significantly darker and more disturbing than the main game but also the best part of the story by far. It alone bumped the game from an 8/10 to a 9/10 for me. I think Nintendo purposefully made it separate from the main game in case some people aren't able to handle it. I'm not a VN expert but others I've enjoyed in the past are 999, Ghost Trick, and Ace Attorney. I also recommend 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, it's half VN and half RTS with an amazing story.

The first video game to get an M rating was the SNES port of Doom, released on September 1st, 1995.

[@swoopingisbad5617]

Oh! I actually know something about this! So Geist was developed by N-Space, a studio which ended up shutting its doors back in 2016 after releasing Sword Coast Legends (a game which used the DnD IP). They were primarily a studio which handled ports because of their relatively small size (they did the Call of Duty ports to the Nintendo DS) but every so often they would get to do their own game. It’s always a bit bittersweet whenever I see the studio pop up in a video because I knew a guy who worked there for about a decade and towards the end everyone in the studio was hurting. It hurts a bit to release a product that you are super passionate about only to have it crushed by reviews

[@oscarzxn4067]

You missed another "potential M rated game" on the Wii, it's Zangeki no Reginleiv, a weird hack n slash with lots of blood and dismemberments developed by the Earth Defense Force developers but published by Nintendo, and was rated CERO D in Japan, so +17.

[@gundamzerostrike]

Devil's Third was pretty awesome. I remember I was playing Xenoblade X when Devil's Third got to my home. I was like "Okay, let me check this"... Then I spend a week only playing Devil's Third and only came back to Xenoblade X 30 hours later. The single-player was GREAT. The style of the game was great, the cheesy plot was funny as hell, the boss battles were excellent, changing from gun fight to sword fight was handled just perfectly. And the only multiplayer was just insane, some of the best I've ever played. I really don't understand why reviewers hated it... but it was during that time when it was cool to hate Nintendo and the Wii U, and many reviewers on KZbin were the "angry type" that targeted Nintendo, so I guess there is there. My only problem with Devil's Third was the not so great framerate, but it was very playable and not really much different from most games at the time. And I am 100% sure many reviewers did NOT play the game. Jim Sterling comments on the plot and gameplay elements were factually wrong, you could clearly see he did not play the game (and at the time he was an huge anti-SJW, anti-feminism, so his content was just trash back then). IGN's review also had the same issues and they claimed to have played the multiplayer when the multiplayer simply wasn't online yet (so they just flatout lied). But hey, professional online gaming journalism was just pure garbage, no wonder they are all dead today. By the way, I also remember the marketing for this game being terrible. The only multiplayer trailer they had on KZbin at the time was actually uploaded by me (on this very account). It went viral with over 139k views and it was the second most viewed video of the game on KZbin (behind the E3 trailer). I still have the video, but it's on private now - and it was also na E3 trailer, much more interesting than the original and Nintendo simply didn't even bothered to release it (I don't remember how I got my hands on it, maybe a press release or some random website somwhere). I also made a comparison video showing the evolution of the game when compared to the E3 gameplay and Itagaki even commented on it on Facebook.

I dunno about the performance being on par with most games on the time, since while there were definitely some PS3 or 360 games that ran poorly like Far Cry 3, even then DT is probably worse than those, but by 2015 PS4 and Xbox One made at least locked 30 to be the standard for 2 years, and also most of Nintendo's games on Wii U ran pretty well, so it was at least one of the worst runnings games of the year and it's console.

[@gundamzerostrike]

@@oscarzxn4067 Sure, but the game didn't run poorly at all. The framerate was a solid 30 fps with a few hicups here and there, MUCH better than Far Cry 3, my dude. Hell, I am playing FF16 on fidelity mode on my PS5 at the moment, and it runs worse than Devil's Third, for example. And I don't really care because it's still pretty playable.

"[Sterling's] content was trash back then" and it still is, so nothing really changed.

[@PrixtoTNT]

I really though Scott wasn't gonna mention Emio for a second there lol. And honestly it is a surprising thing that he records these so in advance but at the same time that's something really Scott

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Obviously, that includes Miitopia (it’s R rated in Russia)!

[@wagezombie]

I know the problem, you got it set to M for Mario when you should’ve set it to W for Waluigi 🤣

[@shiningstar737]

Apparently when they were designing the Nintendo costumes in Bayonetta they tried making it as modest as possible, but after they sent it to be approved by Nintendo they immediately heard back with disapproval. Allegedly they thought that the costume weren’t something Cereza would wear and demanded it would be more revealing.

[@final_jim]

If Miitopia is rated M in Russia for gay representation, does that mean other Nintendo games with same sex relationships are rated M? Like Fire Emblem Three Houses or Xenoblade Chronicles? Hell, do I dare ask what Bugsnax is rated in Russia?

[@unraged6004]

Nintendo pulled out of Russia when the Ukraine war started, so I don't think xenoblade 3 ever came out there

[@final_jim]

@@unraged6004 guess I should have seen that coming

[@NinjaPieceLOL]

When he said he films these far in advance, I was not expecting him to say February! Goddamn! He must be sitting on a stockpile of videos!

[@bthomas2351]

KZbin, new skip button sucks

[@xXZakkiXx]

Perfect Dark and Conkers were published by Nintendo. They were DEVELOPED by Rare. Rare made them and Nintendo Published them for their system. So all of this actually started with the 64.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Wouldn’t the original Famicom Detective Club games retroactively be their first M Rated games?

[@coreylineberry8557]

Well, they were rated T. Emio, the new one, is rated M.

[@Mimi.1001]

I believe the original Famicom Detective Club games weren't that mature. Kinda like the Ace Attorney games which are rated T for the most part too. You do have murder, death and such as themes, but the presentation is still pretty tame (But I guess you couldn't do that much on NES/SNES anyway). Emio is much darker from what I've heard, especially in the epilogue.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Geist wasn't the best polished, but it definitely deserves a second chance. Make it less linear and refine the shooting and it'd be something great.

[@904funny]

Kirby 64 on NSO was rated M at first

[@anthonybenci9035]

T

[@904funny]

@@anthonybenci9035 They took down the original post of the trailer that had M

[@NotReallyAReview]

I think Emio definitely should be rated M, its not super spooky but does deal with some hard hitting topics. Not sure about Miitopia though

[@Schwarzorn]

People (well, English speakers) clearly still don't give a damn about Famicom Detective Club since I can only assume the remakes of the first two sold poorly. So poorly that NoA changed the name for the English version. Instead of *Famicom Detective Club: The Smiling Man,* we got _Emio_ - _The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club._ They clearly felt that they had to obscure the fact that it's a part of that series. It'll probably help. I imagine this will sell better than the first two. There's almost no game-play of them on KZbin. Not a good sign... Oh, and The Smiling Man is actually the fourth game. The 3rd is call _BS Detective Club: The Past Erased by Snow._ BS being Broadcast Satellite, as in the Satelliview.

As soon as you started talking about miitopia my headphones glitched out to make you sound like a tomadachi life voice and then as soon as you stopped talking about miitopia, they went back to normal.

[@BE-fw1lr]

I do think hearing Scott briefly mention "gay relationships" is amusing, because he gives off peak "Median Voter" energy. Like he's generally supportive but if you asked him what LGBT stood for he'd probably only get 2 right at most. But hey, good enough for me lol.

[@TheTwitty666]

The best thing Geist did for the gaming industry was force epic to change the name of the enemies in Gears of War to the Locust

[@dopey473]

3:18 This just in Scott didn't play many horror games from this era. Just one on top of my head thats spooky on the atmosphere alone? Silent Hill 2 enough said.

[@rotface6969]

you can tell scott doesnt like controversy. he grabs the carpet when talking about tomodachi life.
