I need to have a kid so I can have a legitimate excuse to play these kinds of games.
Like oh, the son wanted it, or it's a great bonding experience for us. Not oh yeah, I willing want to be playing a Mickey Mouse game.
Reliving childhood experiences is not an excuse?
Ha, it only works so often and so much. I've been a gamer all my life, and sometimes I like those fun and light hearted games to take a break from heavy and mature stuff like Call of Duty and the likes.
Send me the best you've got. Send me your strongest machines. The fight my brother fought, here, now, will end with me.
You know, I found that of "Mickey Mouse is for kids" stupid. Mickey Mouse is for everyone, from babys to grandfathers, including teenages, adults and hard core gamers. Mickey mouse is not kind of Barnie, it is more kind of donkeykong, sonic and bug bunny.
There is no differece, a mouse, a bunny, a hedgedog and a monkey, all of them are animals, and all of them are great, it doesn't mater how old you are.
i'm 24 and i play mario games, how is that any better? games are nerdy no matter what. modern warfare is no less nerdy than shantae's revenge. in fact, it's probably more nerdy. going thru prestige mode 10 times is actually more nerdy. way more nerdy.
@WaveBoy I was just responding to the idea that playing a Mickey game at 25 yrs old is funny. The point is, if that's true, then playing virtually any video game at 25 is funny.
For those interested in Disney's Epic Mickey there are a couple of deals going on.
The online shop for Toysrus.com is selling both the Epic Mickey Collector's Edition and regular edition and includes a $5 discount. Amazon.com is also selling the Collector's Edition of the game at the same price as Toys r Us.
I realize some people will find it stupid that I feel that way. And that games are for all ages and aren't just for kids...but the older I get the more ridiculous I feel playing them all the time. The past few months my interest in gaming has been waning...I played every night, when COD was big I would play 4,5, some times hours a night...now it's a few nights a week at the most, a few hours here or there.
Not sure if I'm afraid of waking up one day and wondering why I wasted so much time on trivial games, or if I'm growing up and growing out of them. Not sure the idea still interests me, but I can only see the developers pushing the "Mickey is for everyone not just kids" to help sell more units. I want it to be good but I'm not sure.
And Waveboy, yes...Kirby's Epic Yarn does feel a bit removed from me. I want my games to really reflect where I am in life, and even though I grew up playing some Kirby game...I can't say at 25 that Nintendo is aiming this at me, and they shouldn't be...it's a child's game.

I truly believe at being a kid at heart, But I guess I see the difference of being young and childlike at heart and being fully childlike. I think I can retain that view on life without doing childish things.
Mercury poisoning?! How does one get that? Too much Kirby?

Outside of the occasional actually well written game story, I don't care about gaming being relevent to me or my age. The less relevent the better. It's been said way too much but gaming really is about escaping real life instead of having it remind me of real life.
Besides if you want something that reflects "where you are in life" I'd suggest books, movies or even anime before video games.
And really I'm glad to see that even after it being the first video game I ever beat (Kirby's Adventure) that Kirby is still around and being cute yet awesome 15 years later.

^^ This times infinity. Life is often pretty sucktacular. I like playing pretty, colorful things so I can forget about just how sucktacular it is.
Great video, @SkullMan, you should watch it, it mention something about the refference you have of mickey = kids. Maybe it will change your opinion a little bit.

I'm really into books lately, but I feel anime is even more childish than video games.
