I just find it funny that Kingdom Hearts is being overshadowed in activity by Animal Crossing at a forum which consists primarily of young males ages 18-24, not exactly the prime target age group for Crossing

Well they advertise it on TV shows whose target age is 18-35. The reason is because there is a ton of stuff you can do in the game. At IGN the AC forums are more popular than all the other game forums combined right now.

Super Monkey Ball 2 is another game that I've seen heavily advertised on M rated Prime Time TV shows, a game is a game, some people enjoy some games, others enjoy others. When I was 4-6 years old, I would have probably enjoyed Mortal Kombat or any other "mature" game more than I do now (based on its content), I certainly loved action movies packed with blood and explosives when I was that age, and it was purely based on the blood and explosives! Was I just mature for my age? Nah, it's the concept of maturity in the business, I don't mind the setting in Animal Crossing, the only people who would are HIGHLY insecure people and Pre-teens anyways (same deal with Kingdom Hearts).</div>
