there are quite a few states where the age of consent is 16, that is true.

but it's not just the US.. the age of consent is 16 in A LOT of countries.. or even lower (14+ in germany), 13 in some parts of japan etc.

@arkady77
legally and ethically.

so tell me.. how come it's allowed to have sex with a 14+ year old in germany.. even if you're 21+ years old?

clearly.. they are all children.. 14.. 16..17, makes no difference to you, right?
and the age of consent in germany is absolutely terrible, thats what you believe, correct?

@arkady77
either you clearly misunderstood (which is fine) or seem to think that 16 year olds are children and it's terrible to have these fictional characters sexualized.. in which case: do you have nothing else to worry about?

@Cresartist
but why?! do only women at the age of 21+ have sex? are only women dressing suggestively? is there something wrong with finding 16 year old girls attractive? age of consent is different for every country.. and we're talking about fictional characters here.... there is nothing wrong with this

_{That's enough. Keep it up with the insults and you will be banned. This is your warning: it's fine to be passionate, but we expect you to be civil — TBD}

@Cresartist
that would be terrible. why? why can't they sexualize women under the age of 21 in anime. when did you last go out? have you seen how some 12 year olds dress already? it would be incredibly unrealistic to only have characters of the age 21+ sexualized

@PvtOttobot
dbz, sao and naruto.. like I've suggested.. you have no idea about anime.. sorry
you just watched 3 of the big anime that are EXTREMELY popular in western countries.. do you realize there are THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of anime? thousands of anime that neither have pervy old men or over sexualized girls/women in them...

if you want to start watching some good stuff... start with Mononoke Hime by Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli)..

@Discipledoctor
you do realize that your logic is flawed right?
if these "pedophiles" (because apparently people that are attracted to 14+ year olds are pedophiles as well.. lol) can't get their fix in anime etc.. there'd be more harm done to real girls

it's the same with rape... UK making it illegal to watch fake rape porn for example.. it's a bad move.. and if you can't see why, then i can't help you

@JellySplat
it's not that you're offending anyone with what you've said (do some people get offended that easily?)

it's just that.. it's not true at all, it's nonsense
"I hope after all of this passes we'll start to see some... y'know, GOOD anime."

it's obvious that you have never watched an anime besides maybe Dragon Ball as a kid.
otherwise you'd know how many amazing anime actually already exist

@PvtOttobot
"practically EVERY Japanese Anime"

is that supposed to be a joke? you clearly know nothing about anime and just spread nonsense

@MadJay1664
well.. who's not into teenagers?

just respect the age of consent in the country you live in and you're fine. nowadays people throw the world "pedophile" around too much.

if you are for example 21+ years old and have sex with a 15 year old (in germany), thats fine, but some people would still call it "pedophilia" even though it's not.

there is nothing wrong with finding teenagers attractive.. you were attracted to the other gender before you've had your 18th birthday. it's normal to find beautiful girls attractive even if they're not 18.

just follow the laws of you're country and you have nothing to worry about, you do not have to follow the moral beliefs of others.

also: it's good that this doesn't apply to video games, anime, comics etc... whether you like it or not.. it is indeed fiction, and i see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
if you don't like certain fanservice etc.. then vote with your wallet and don't buy that stuff.

sounds great!
but i miss navi... put her back into the game (just don't let her say anything)

a quiet Navi.. one can dream

both probably already in development

2x metorid (possibly) + star fox?! great!

F-Zero next plz

@Iggly
that too, yes

stupid argument and not true at all

day one!

awesome!!!!

i don't mind new IP's at all..
i love Nintendo's IP's, but it's fine if they want to try new stuff from time to time, but i definitely don't like the new direction in which they're heading

Shigeru Miyamoto working on 3 projects.... one of them is a Robot game that looks meh.. and the other is a security camera game....
love Shigeru Miyamoto but his talent is wasted on stuff like that

and now this game?

Nintendo definitely won E3, but not happy with these three games.

sounds awesome, but it looks absolutely terrible
was hoping for Majora's Mask 3D or a new Metroid

pretty disappointed.. i don't understand why they had to make such a big deal about this game and give it it's own press conference instead of just announcing it in the Digital Event or whatever

i like the gamepad, but stop developing your games around it…

or in the future we’ll only get all these “fun” robot games etc. that are currently in development

i just want amazing games. great story, great characters, great gameplay and lots of fun!
i don’t give a sh** about motion controls, just give me fantastic games

@ThreadShadow
lol.. don't buy it if you don't like it?! whats your problem?

"unacceptable" LOL

how is this great news? late september release............................. more delays plz, NEED MORE DELAYS

omg... that is the "big" news!?
i wanted the big news to be "release: NOW"

delay after delay.. and now waiting even longer? f****** annoying

ffs.. just give me shantae and the pirate's curse already
big news regarding that game coming this week though..

how hard could it possibly be.. to just give us the option to create folders already? sigh...
so annoying..

still waiting for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse...sigh
at least we're getting news at E3.. or rather in that same week

still waiting for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse release.. eu though :/

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse... please.. sigh

i hate all this NFC crap.. useless gimmick

so what.. a game in which you can see some cleavage is a big deal now?
it has to do with "respect" ??

the way i see it... developers are working on this game.. it's their (+ the publishers) choice what they're gonna work on... then they'll release it

people who like it = buy it
people who don't = ignore it and move on

if it's not for you, stop whining
sex sells, deal with it.. it's always been that way. why does this 1 game bother/affect you so much?
"doens't make it right" .. so developing a game like this isn't okay?

why not? just because you don't like it?
guess what.. not everyone is as uptight as you are... and since we're talking about "maturity"
it would be mature to just move on and stop whining over things which don't affect you in any way

@Onett or maybe you're just uptight and can't let some people enjoy games you don't

@Yorumi
that's not what im saying... im saying that always talking about it and making such a big deal because of a game like this.. is just pathetic
so what.. games like this aren't supposed to exist anymore? because women feel so inferior because of it?

ohhh.. buhu.. its a game, move on and stop crying
always making such a big deal about stuff like this is just pathetic and won't help, just don't buy the game if it's not for you and move on

so sad that people always have to make such a big deal about stuff like this, really annoying
sexism.. feminists.. ahhh, just be quiet :/

i never expected this game to have online multiplayer..
when it comes to online-services and multiplayer.. nintendo is years behind, unfortunately

guess it'll be fun for a few hours and that's it

because this game will be released in a few days?
and Yarn Yoshi won't be out for a few more months

simple as that

terrible...

looks so bland, lifeless and ultimately extremely boring
and the music is bad

a damn shame.. i like yoshi :/

is it just me or does her head look extremely big?

not that i care though.. obviously no idea who any of them are

Pokemon Link Battle

Yoshi's New Island looks absoluely terrible

how about a new Mega Man game instead of selling the same games over and over again?
capcom is so incompetent..

nothing they'll add via this update will matter

we can't even properly add each other or write/talk with one another.. i love Nintendo, but their online services are a complete joke

9/10.. really? lol

hoping for EU release!!
please!

will be buying it.. could be fun, we'll see..

just give me a new real mega man game

this game will be so amazing..

i just can't believe that we have to wait a few more months for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
the world is cruel 8[

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Love

i have been waiting soo long for this game now.. checking again and again if they've finally announced a new release date, but it was awlays "q1 2014"

then it said early april.. and now a couple more months?
love that... next time tell us earlier, damn

@PvtOttobot
why make such a big deal about it? if you don't like it, just ignore it, simple as that.

@mr570 you never had a girl over? Oo

the whole gaming community is making fun of fischer at this point, even sony and microsoft fans
quite funny, actually.. he just had to be drunk/high when writing this

personally.. i hope Nintendo stays as far away from mobile gaming (smartphone, tablet etc.) as humanly possible... i prefer quality gaming.. i have no need for all this 99cent crap

and i think we won't be seeing ANY nintendo games for smartphones in the near future...
in march they'll release Pokemon Battle Trozei (Pokemon Link Battle in EU), a game which would be absolutely perfect for smartphones..
if they won't even consider releasing such a game on smartphones.. i don't see them embracing mobile gaming anytime soon, which is a good thing!

unless they decide to release the mobile version a few weeks/months after the 3DS version.. it would literally be the perfect game for smartphones, but i hope they won't do it!

i always hated NFC.. at least the idea of NFC for video game consoles
i just want to lay back and enjoy the great games.. i have no interest in all this useless gimmick
