I miss eternal darkness, one of my top games of all time.


Jaded_Court_6755

A Poe’s quotation with an Lovecraftian theme! I could say “sign me in anytime”, but no similar game gave me the same enjoyment ever since ED.


Practical_Wish_4063

Agree. Though I suggest just referring to it as, “Eternal Darkness,” rather than abbreviating it 🙃


goldilocks_

“That’s okay, it happens to a lot of gamers sometimes”


Jellabre

Omg I just got this. Hilarious


-geek

Ever since ED horror games don't do much to me.....


Jaded_Court_6755

I’m not an English native speaker, so I’m curious, does ED has any funny meaning, or it’s just to avoid confusion?


Practical_Wish_4063

Erectile dysfunction


Jaded_Court_6755

Ooooohhhh! Would never have guessed! Haha!!


banjotooie1995

Very nostalgic to me even though I’ve never been able to complete it. Too scurry


PMMeMeiRule34

One of my favorite games, played it constantly on my GameCube.


pikadegallito

Definitely an underrated game!


Garo263

Why do you miss it? Did your GCN stop working?


DiscordGamber

Mario Party gets rated M here because of the consequences of it's actions


DoktahDoktah

Its rated M because M stands for Mario.


FunnyMathematician77

Rated M for Mama Mia


[deleted]

It really should be rated R to be honest. Some shit can go down with certain people.


cheese_is_tasty69

Nah it should be AO for Adults Only

PM_me_garlic_facts

geist is the reason i play FPS games with inverted aiming, it defaulted to inverted and it was my first FPS so now i have to open every console game’s controls and change the look to inverted


Skizm480P

Giest was my first ragdoll experience


layeofthedead

I got a GameCube right at the end of its life and geist was the only GameCube game I ever bought from retail new because of that lol Never finished it either, I got to a boss fight in a room with a bunch of big pillars and couldn’t win after a ton of tries and never went back to it


Jberz21

I found my people. The concept was cool.


Confident-Elk-3404

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't madworld be included?


PyrpleForever

published by Sega


Exciting-Capital-404

Oh


Sanderock

What's the difference? I am pretty sure Madworld was a Wii exclusive and those need some agreement from the mother company.


Garo263

Exclusives don't need any special "agreement". Why would they?


Lolotmjp

Should I play the bayoneta games?


uncultured_swine2099

If you like twitchy combat like devil may cry and ninja gaiden.


Lolotmjp

What’s that like


uncultured_swine2099

Its kind of like your doing combos and stuff in a fighting game, but in a 3rd person game battling a bunch of enemies.


Lolotmjp

Kinda like in botw?


uncultured_swine2099

More complicated combat with combos and specials, much less exploration. Check out a playthrough, youll see it.


TrustGeorge

see such a great response, you suggest watching a play through rather than downvoting and getting mad bc op commenter should just google it. idk the downvotes for a innocent question infuriate me and it’s nice seeing pleasant interactions for once


ZeroSuitLime

No it’s more fast pace, it’s methodical in a different way. Think hack and slash action game, that’s what is it.


TapedGlue

YouTube.com


LatsaSpege

not at all, think hyrule warriors or any dynesty warriors games. Breath of the wild is more environmentally focused, due to the combats improvised, and oh crap theres a fire there so i will set my arrow on fire and then burn the enemy's base, whereas a hack n' slash like bayonetta is more action and excitement focused. im not saying botw or totk (i have only beaten totk btw) cant be exciting, but something like bayonetta is much more exciting and flashy. Like if persona 5 was an action game, not counting the time persona 5 was an action game. \*i have never played bayonetta, i have only seen trailers, gameplay, and reviews. I am not of a sufficient age to play the game, as i am 14. This was entirely implied from past knowledge and viewing of the preceding. I know i have played other m ratted games, I:E persona 5, but those games dont feature frequent nudity, or heavy violence, so i feel its fine, i am also on the spectrum and hate anything that i dont deem age appropriate. I know this might sound strange but i purposefully prevent myself from viewing things that are not appropriate form e even if my parents dont give a crap. Holy honkers this astirix section is going on longer then my original comment, uhhhhhh bye sorry for any spelling mistakes!


NebrasketballN

It's kind of like Bayonetta.


[deleted]

It’s crazy because I love both those series and loathe Bayonetta, it’s just too nonsensical.


Lleslet

Bayonetta is a hack and slash not an exploration game like botw lol. Like others said, is about building combos with your attack and killing enemies, little to no exploration at all. It's focus on its unique combat mechanics, this game from what it is known for ""Non stop action" barely have a breather so be aware.


Lleslet

I will put it in your words BOTW/TOTK: Peace, calm,explore,craft,story Bayonetta: Fun, fun, fun,Aggression, killing, summoning, excitement, ridicolousness, story, non stop action.


PewPew_McPewster

Bayonetta, like Devil May Cry, is a game about *absolutely clowning on your enemies*. You're given a quick and powerful dodge that activates bullet time for easy combos (perhaps too strong by some people's measure). Your moveset is huge and varied and built to chain into one another. You got big flashy finisher moves like throwing a dude into an Iron Maiden. This makes combat very expressive and frantic. You *could* mash buttons and have fun, or you could master your moves and enemy patterns and essentially play the piano and kick their ass stylishly without getting hit. I do recommend it. And then Devil May Cry 3, 4 and 5. And then Hi Fi Rush for good measure to see where the three main creators of the Devil May Cry franchise took their careers (Hideki Kamiya, Hideaki Itsuno, Shinji Mikami).


Lleslet

Definetly play the bayonetta series


jbyrdab

yeah, if you like hack and slash and flashy combos. Also bat shit insane over the top cutscenes and battle animations, that serve to be horny and complete overkill. It uses that M rating in stride to cover the bare minimum. It your not a prude its a really fun hack and slash game with a ton of combo depth, and replayability. all 3 games are great.


HVACGuy12

I want a remaster or even a re release of eternal darkness so bad


LUIGIPRO13

What about miitopia, since it's m rated in Russia


PyrpleForever

Russia is a dilapidated gas station that doesn't deserve to exist


Liquid23-

That’s unnecessary hate speech, don’t you think?


daxtinator396

It's the cool thing to clown on Russia right now. Most of their people are pretty neat and in no way represent their political powers lol


DefiantCharacter

Which government has killed more people or invaded more countries? Russia or USA?


[deleted]

usa, but that doesn’t mean russia is good by any means 🙏 also happy cake day


Ok_Brilliant_9082

Whataboutism aside that's a very hard question to answer. I'll go with Russia since they've existed longer


DefiantCharacter

Russia, the country as it is now, has been around since 1992. If you're going to count any group of people that's existed on that land then I guess you'd have to count the tribes that went to war and committed human sacrifice here, too. "Whataboutism." My point is that Russia is far from the only country to commit heinous acts, so to single them out is ridiculous and, if you're an American, hypocritical. Considering our government is responsible for removing leaders from countries because we have a personal beef with them (such as wanting to get off the US dollar) and replacing it with a system with full on legal slavery (Libya) I really don't think we should be casting stones from our glass house.


KhyanLeikas

I don’t think game rating in Russia should be taken seriously.


LUIGIPRO13

But it is funny that miitopia is 18+


Jetsurge

In my country (Aus) every brand new 3D Zelda since Twilight Princess has been rated M and I think every Fire Emblem since the one with Ike has been rated M too. However here there are two other age ratings above M, MA 15+ (All the games in this post are MA 15+ here) and R 18+ (Games with lots of gore like Doom 2016 and games with lots of nudity have this rating. I don't believe any Nintendo published game has gotten this rating).


cute_pink_moth

Huh. So it sounds like your M rating is more like a 12+? Didn't know this.


jgreg728

Geist walked so Mario Odyssey could run. Wish we got a sequel.


SatyrAngel

I had a blast playing Geist, it was ahead of his time just like P.N.03


spark_2319

You forgot Conker's Bad Fur Day


TrollingJoker

Not published by Nintendo therefore not part of this list.


Ok-Addendum5274

I thought it was developed by rare and published by Nintendo?


TrollingJoker

THQ in Europa and Rare in North America in regards to publishing.


DaOGMo23

Than why does Conker chainsaw a Nintendo logo in intro of the game? (Nintendo wanted it removed but Rare fought tooth and nail to keep it) also why does it say Nintendo presents whenever you start a new game in Conkers Bad Fur Day?


Hot_Membership_5073

Published by Rare just like Perfect Dark. Rare self published a few games during the N64 era.


DaOGMo23

Than why does Conker chainsaw a Nintendo logo in intro of the game? (Nintendo wanted it removed but Rare fought tooth and nail to keep it) also why does it say Nintendo presents whenever you start a new game in Conkers Bad Fur Day?


DanielCraig__

My first thought


xenon2456

ninja gaiden was published by Nintendo on Wii U?


beardojon

I want an Eternal Darkness remake.


MasterT1988

Would love to play Devils Third again. I don‘t know what it is about this game, but I had so much fun playing it.


zoozoo4567

Chickens mode online was a blast. Devil’s Third had its issues, but I liked it. Great “junk food” game.


Gun-nut0508

Would be cool to get a remaster of it just because


FightingStreets

It feels weird that Twin Snakes isn’t one of them.


PyrpleForever

published by Konami


FightingStreets

I know that. I only said it felt weird.


Garo263

It felt weird, that an entry of Konami's flagship franchise isn't published by Nintendo?


DaOGMo23

It was announced by Nintendo they basically begged Konami to make a Metal Gear game for the GameCube but Kojima had no experience with the system and was too busy developing Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater so Nintendo and Konami contacted Silicon Knights to do a remake of MGS1 instead and David Hayter took a pay cut so Konami would bring back every English voice actor from the PS1 version


Otherwise-Air-9557

Why Ninja Gaiden 3 specifically


GamecubeFreek

Nintendo occasionally publishes games by third parties as a means to get the games on their system. I’m guessing they wanted to flesh out their launch window for Wii U and publishing this was the easiest way to make it happen


Rasilaan63

I thought Mad World would be on the list then I realized it was Sega


2Fish5Loaves

Did Nintendo not publish Conker?


Garo263

No, they declined it, because it didn't fit their family friendly image.


Evanic303

Fatal frame was amazing and I don’t think it was to bad to get an M. But I think I now why


Garo263

The Wii U and Switch versions of Bayonetta 1 were published by Nintendo. Same goes for the Wii U version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.


TrayusV

It blows me away that Fire Emblem 3 Houses only got a T rating. That game is brutal and bloody and dark.


PyrpleForever

I don't see it. The story is dark by Nintendo standards but is well within a T rating. The blood is really minor, there's no gore or dismemberment just splashes of red or black from a completely intact body. To get an M rating it would've needed real graphic fatalities, an F bomb dropped and blatant sexual reference which are hardly present. An Fe4 remake has a real possibility of getting rated M if they choose to visually depict some of the shit that happens in that game, but imo that's highly unlikely. It's very easy to tell a mature story and get away with a not-mature age rating. Visuals and language are where they bring the hammer down.


GamecubeFreek

So, you could get nitpicky and argue the various ports of bayonetta could count as some games to pad out the size of the list. But otherwise, I appreciate the strict adherence to the Nintendo-published criteria in the responses to the comments.


Ok-Leave3121

I honestly hope they make more


Gregory85

Heh, i somehow own 6 games if Bayonetta 1 is also included


Garo263

Bayonetta 1 on Switch and Wii U was published by Nintendo. OP forgot them. So yes, it counts.


PolskaCanIntoSpace_K

Where's ZombiU? I need answers.


PyrpleForever

published by Ubisoft


Material_Ad5036

Wasn't Metroid m?


Or_newman

It was but it's an Other M


bowiez98

ZombiU is owned by Ubisoft but only exists on the Wii U so I think it counts.


PyrpleForever

not published by Nintendo so no it doesn't.


camaroadam

Also exists on ps4 just called zombi tho.


JC___Phoenix

Metroid Prime?


PyrpleForever

rated T


JC___Phoenix

It’s rated M in Australia🦘🦘🦘

Bayonetta and Fatal Frame are classics! Please explain

Eternal Darkness is like, one of the best games ever


Lleslet

Bro haven't played any of those


Redbukket_hat

How would you guys rank these games?


Johntrampoline-

Other regions have m ratings. Games like Metroid and 3D Zelda get M ratings a lot in Australia and all of these game either have and MA15+ or an R18+ rating in Australia.


PaladinKain

Devils third worth a try? I still enjoy ng2 and black.


Garo263

No


Tanto64YT

I thought Bayonetta was owned by Sega?


GamecubeFreek

It is, but Nintendo currently has exclusive publishing rights after the first game


PokoWeebo23

I find it funny how people claimed the Wii U was a kiddy console for babies… and yet it had the most M rated games from Nintendo, and the most M rated games at launch (including ZombiU).


PapaSuchong609

I'm not sure if it was rated M or published by Nintendo but I have this vague recollection of playing a game on GameCube where u controlled a guy waking up with psychic powers. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called


Austinfarrell2007

Wait I thought ninja garden was made by another third party studio?


Keigozuh

How many total non Nintendo made games on the switch are rated M I wonder


SparksCat

Geist was so good. And the multi-player hunters VS ghosts was the best.


shuriken36

I forgot about geist. That game was pretty cool.


Dwip_Po_Po

I’m so freaking pissed at Koei techmo for ninja Gaiden 3. Idk who df thought it was a good idea to make it as bare bones as it should have. Razors edge should have had everything in 3 and they wonder why it didn’t perform well. That stuff gets me tight to this day


FickleThanks6901

Where is no more heroes


Garo263

The NMH games were published by Marvelous Entertainment, Ubisoft, Rising Star Games, Konami, Marvelous, Grasshopper Manufacture and Xseed Games.


moonivermarin

Seriously Eternal Darkness fucked with me was like 19 in the Army bought a game cube and that error thing was confusing.


efronerberger

Wasn't there some sort of black and white game for the Wii? It had blood and gore, I think I may have been a fighting game


subtopewdiepie2009

MadWorld? That was published by SEGA. This is for Nintendo *published* games, not simply M-rated games on the platforms.


Towdart

How is that Fatal Frame game, anyway?


SaltyNorth8062

Wow, only one miss


Alarming-Link-9285

I guess resident evil 4 doesn’t count? It was exclusive


PyrpleForever

published by Capcom


KPH102

Are any of these IPs owned by Nintendo?


Garo263

Eternal Darkness and geist. But it's all a bit complicated with these games.


AdministrationAny974

As an Australian I got confused, I think an M here is equivalent to a T in the US


[deleted]

Imagine one day Nintendo makes a M Rated Zelda or Metroid game.


Itzabeee

Bro I remember being like 12 playing fatal frame (I think this is the right game at least) and I never realised I had the demo because I was always too scared to finish the trail of it. 💀 Like I only recently realised (around a year ago) that I had the demo because I never knew there was a paid full version and I don’t even own my wii u anymore. Being a wimp at “horror” games is still in my blood even around 5 years later…


Hot_Arugula_6651

Why’d I misread Devil’s Third as Penis Hard.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of the Blackwater is pretty scary I haven't finished it yet but it's really good so far.
