Gaming Anybody found Bowser's Fury somewhat scary for kids?

[depaul]

I just bought the game for my kids and finished the Bowser's Fury side story myself (given that I already finished SM3DW on Wii U).

Is it just me or, isn't that game a bit scary for kids? Bowser is more like a demon, abnormally big and scary, the environment turns hellish, and the cats turn into demons themselves (for unknown reason?).

It reminded me of Sonic.exe !

I haven't played it yet, but I feel like Nintendo ruined 3d world big time.

Not really since it has an E for everybody rating.

Thanks the exploration is fantastic and when the climate turns hellish and Bowser chases you, it gives you a big dose of adrenaline. As an adult I found the experience unique for a Mario game! But for kids? that's too much probably.

interesting take, I had the same thoughts when I was playing it myself awhile back lol. like I wonder if kid me would be able to beat it especially with the loud noises and roars.

Some kids maybe. But some kids get scared by anything.

I'll have some time tomorrow maybe, usually get up at 4 or 5 in the morning. I might try out browser's fury. I've heard it's short but good.

The levels are small but there's a good amount of stuff to collect. IIRC it took me around 8 hours to 100%. Felt like the right amount of content, they could have padded out the length by making the levels (and world) larger and keeping the same amount of collectibles, for a platformer it was at times rather light on platforming. But it was long enough to have me feeling satisfied at the end.

Well I played it with my 3 year old nephew who gets scared sometimes when I fukkin lift him up - 'too high!' (I'm only 6ft 2!) ....and he loved it! It's just naughty Bowser as he says...

It's pretty tame. I won't spoil it for anyone but Bowser isn't himself and that's why he's the way he is and why the cats turn evil. I think the dark elements are a perfect contrast to when everything is "under control" and only accentuates Mario's presentation when in his giant Lion form. None of it is going to keep a kid up at night especially after smacking Bowser around a few times. It's not like its MK11 or something along those lines.

that is totally fine imo, if you want scary stuff you should show them the black cauldron

For kids now? Could be. When I was a little kid I was watching zombies eat people and Jason and Freddy slice people up.
