A thread titled “Hey Nintendo-boy, isn’t it about time you played some adult games?” (a jab using “Nishi-kun,” 5ch slang for Nintendo fans) kicked off a fight on 5ch’s console-wars board over what actually counts as a “game for adults.”
When some posters named gacha titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail as “adult” games, they were met with pushback like “That’s rich coming from gacha whales” and “Eroge (adult visual novels) are way more grown-up than that.” The thread eventually spiraled into a broader debate over whether anyone has the right to judge other people’s hobbies at all.
Grow up already, this is embarrassing.
Nintendo-boy went and bought FF7 — you know, the game you guys call an 'adult game.'
"Adult games" according to wall-huggers (PlayStation fanboys) just means politically-correct, ugly character designs.
If we're going there, how long are grown adults gonna keep playing games at all? Maybe it's time to grow out of it entirely.
Mobile games you can play on the train as a working adult — that's the real adult game.
Nobody plays Switch 2 on the train, so it's basically a platform where 'adult games' don't even exist.

Coming from people who claim Tales or Trails (Kiseki) games are 'for adults,' that means nothing to me.

That's a dead franchise anyway.
Real adults play Genshin, Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Wuthering Waves.

Do you PlayStation fanboys ("steibuta" — 5ch slang for PS fans) really think saying 'I play GTA' gets you a 'wow, how grown-up'?
Honestly, Nintendo games are the only ones a grown adult can play without getting side-eyed.
Play PlayStation and people just think, 'what kind of loser is this guy.'

No issue here, I play eroge (adult visual novels).
The most embarrassing ones are the PS fanboys grinding gacha for cute anime girls in Chinese mobile games.
When it comes to eroge, Nintendo's the 'love hotel' (no questions asked)
while Sony's the one that slaps on the censorship.

Here we go again with this nonsense 'adult games' talk.
And it's coming from the guys who do nothing but drop real money on gacha pulls.

So, what's your hobby?
Oh, just a bit of adult gaming.

Whether someone 'grows out of' gaming is for them to decide, not you. Butt out.

They get mocked because they can't grow out of it 🤗

Talking about 'adult games' like it's some deep thing is exactly why gamers rank at the bottom of the nerd caste — even train otaku look down on you.
So free-to-play games sitting on the charts are 'adult games' now?
If you can't hold a real conversation, don't start a thread.
So you ask 'what even is an adult game' and the answer's a gacha game…
What a fine grown-up you are.
What a fine grown-up you are.
Free-to-play games from communist China are for adults now lolololol
Bottom line, you just want to look down on other people.
Just admit PS games are 'the chosen ones' and be done with it.

Why can't you accept diversity?
Harping on people you disagree with —
some 'grown adult' you are.

Apparently 'for adults' means anime-style gacha games, or superheroes in full-body tights beating up bad guys.
Who cares what other people are playing?
Why does it bother you so much?

Shut-in otaku types are way too sensitive about other people's eyes and what everyone else is doing.
Nobody's even looking at you.

Is a masked guy in yellow tights swinging hook-claws around really an 'adult game'?

Marvel's clearly aimed at kids no matter how you slice it.
In Japan that's basically the same slot as Super Sentai or Kamen Rider.
