Posted by Mature games is one of those terms that needs to be redefined. The rating on the box rarely has anything to due to mental/emotional maturity.
If anything the opposite is true. The more swearing & ridiculous violence the younger it's target audience.
Playing 18-rated Call Of Duty with it's ridiculously gravelly voices and rubbish macho banters it's the kind of thing would have appealed to me when I was twelve. Then I go online and hear kids being told that they can have one more go and then it's bed time. Mature, really?
It takes a person secure in their maturity to unashamedly enjoy a Mario game, accepting the cuteness and appreciating the amazing game mechanics.
Ultimately the idea of the Nintendo as a kids company is misplaced as titles like Mario and Zelda tend to attract mature gamers who want well designed classics rather than 3rd rate actions films knock-offs.
Both Mario Galaxy and Assassins Creed can be considered mature games.
