Adult themes

Can somebody please explain to me what exactly falls into the category "adult themes" in the TV rating system? Presumably it's not swearing, sex, bad language etc, since they have their own categories? I've always wondered. 122.110.189.64 (talk) 13:13, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I've ever seen a TV rating with "Adult themes", and it's not listed on their website that I can see. ^Avic _ennasis @ 13:45, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

In movies, adult themes are anything that isn't necessarily nudity, language, or violence, but is considered a theme in the movie that adults may want to keep their children from seeing. For example, showing a person handcuffed in a hole and screaming for help is a bit traumatic for children - so it is an adult theme. As with any rating system, it is based on opinion. You may want your children to view as much horror themes as possible for some reason. The concept of "adult themes" is very general and aimed at "more than half" the population. -- kainaw ™ 13:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've always understood what Kainaw stated: adult themes covers things which you may not want your children to see, but which defy categorization in the "easy" categories (nudity, gore, curse words). For example, you could have a movie which has no nudity, never swears, no overt acts of violence, but which covered some really "heady" concepts which parents may not be ready for their kids to be exposed to: say, a young teenage girl getting an abortion, or a serial killer being tracked by the police, or where there is frank (but clean) talk of sexual issues, or any of a number of other things that, say, the average 6 year old may not be emotionally ready to handle. The idea isn't to say that every 6 year old may not be ready, but that many parents may wish to watch the movie first to guage whether or not their kids can see it. --Jayron32 16:46, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The British film censors say:

Classification decisions will take into account the theme of a work, but will depend significantly on the treatment of that theme, and especially the sensitivity of its presentation. However, the most problematic themes (for example, drug abuse, sexual violence, paedophilia, incitement to racial hatred or violence) are unlikely to be appropriate at the most junior levels of classification. Correspondingly, there is no reason in principle why most themes, however difficult, could not be presented in a manner which allowed classification at ‘18’ or even ‘15’.[1]

So adult themes would include drug abuse, child abuse/pedophilia, rape, violence, and anything likely to encourage criminality. I imagine similar principles apply elsewhere. (The question asks about "the TV rating system" but doesn't specify which rating system. Television content rating systems is rather a long page.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Have The Legend of Zelda:Skyward Sword been rated by the CERO yet? Will it be rated A all ages? Can you give me a link to the Japanese website if they have one yet?69.131.127.197 (talk) 16:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's still Rating Pending. I don't know if there is a Japanese website, though I would suspect there is not. And no one here can predict what the rating will be. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:04, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey that was the USA rating not the Japanese. Can you email CERO or on their website? Find a Japanese website for the Game. Search for one. Is there a high chance that it will be rated A all ages in Japan?69.131.127.197 (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Which means it's probably not been rated at all. I can't read Japanese, but you are more than welcome to search for websites for yourself. CERO's website is here. According to this page, you can email them at info

cero.gr.jp ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:27, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

But I also can not read Japanese. Can you find someone else that work here? If I Email them would the Email they sent will be in Japanese. 69.131.127.197 (talk) 19:43, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any other editor is free to stop by and try to help - but no one "works" here, we are a volunteer project. And no one here can tell you what language they will reply in, however if you email them in English, I believe there is a good chance they will reply in English. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:50, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

For some reason I can not sent it. Can you petty petty please do for me?69.131.127.197 (talk) 20:22, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, sorry, I suggest you contact your email provider for help if you are unable to send emails. ^Avic _ennasis @ 20:40, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Mega Man

Are all Mega Man games rated A all ages in Japan? If so add it in the CERO page or maybe I will do it for you.69.131.127.197 (talk) 18:18, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you check the ratings for yourself? And if you can find a reliable source/read Japanese, please add the rating to any of those articles that don't currently have one. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:07, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Gamecube games

Can you play Gamecube games like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Walker on the Wii?69.131.127.197 (talk) 18:27, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:10, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

You'll need a Gamecube controller. They plug into the gamecube controler ports hidden under the top flap of the console. APL (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okami

How many Kids play Okami in Japan? That game is rated A All Ages in Japan but rated T for teen in the USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.127.197 (talk) 18:30, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no way to know how many kids play any game. You can draw your own conclusions from the "Sales" section of the Ōkami article, however. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:12, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Super Smash Bros

Bulbapedia think Super Smash Bros.Melee and Super Smash Bros.Brawl was rated B 12 and up when in reality they was rated A all ages in Japan. Can someone here do something about it? Does anyone here work here that is also with Bulbapedia edit it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.127.197 (talk) 19:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We can not do anything about what any other website says. If you believe they have an error, you should contact someone from the staff of Bulbapedia. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:55, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

locoroco bird chirping song

One of the songs in Locoroco has a bird chirping. Which song (which level) does it belong to? It has a repeated strumming guitar, a bird chirping, and the "lyrics" are repeated "Wa-Day" overlayed with "Ah-Oh". -- kainaw ™ 19:40, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Legend of Zelda

Will there be a Remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Walker for the Nintendo 3DS. How many Kids play The Legend of Zelda Games? If I have a huge idea for A The Legend of Zelda game and I sent it to Nintendo what the chances of it becoming a real game?69.131.127.197 (talk) 19:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker doesn't mention it, and searching for it doesn't reveal any mention of it. For how many people play, again, we ca't say, but you can look at the articles we have here for the Sales information. Lastly, it's very unlikely Nintendo would use any game ideas from outside their own company. ^Avic _ennasis @ 19:59, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Nintendo 64

Can you play Nintendo 64 games on the Gamecube?69.131.127.197 (talk) 20:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. ^Avic _ennasis @ 20:40, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Gamecube

It it easy to play Gamecube games on the Wii with the Wii Remote and that other thing that I can't spell it right?69.131.127.197 (talk) 20:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on what you mean by easy. ^Avic _ennasis @ 20:41, 5 Av 5771 / 5 August 2011 (UTC)

That "other thing" would be the Nunchuk. Dismas|^(talk) 20:43, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the most part I don't think you can do that at all, can you? Usually you need more buttons than the Wiimote has. The Wii has slots for four Gamecube controllers though. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:58, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wii#Backward_compatibility says you need to use a Gamecube controller (with the aforementioned slots). AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CoroCoro Comic

Can You give me a link to pictures of CoroCoro Comic Scan of Pokemon Red and Green? Was The Legend of Zelda ever shown on CoroCoro Comic? If you go to it website and watch that video at the top and wait then you will see a Nintendo 3DS and it a picture of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D on it.69.131.127.197 (talk) 20:42, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon Anime

Was Iris raised by Pokemon? Where Iris mom and dad? What would happen if Ash Mom learn that he got in danger many time? Will we ever know who Ash dad is? Was Ash Pikachu born as a pichu? How smart is Ash? How old is Cilan? How old is Iris? Would Iris dare get a scary dragon pokemon like Hydreigon? Will Dawn come to Unova? Will N and Ghetsis be in the anime? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.127.197 (talk) 21:08, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will give you the straight facts as I attempt to answer all of your questions:

Yes.
At home, watching Cops.
You know the part in Scanners where that guy's head explodes? Well that would happen here.
Yes, it's Darth Vader.
No, it was born a poor Black child.
Very smart.
Probably 37 or something.
Either 13 or 42.
Hydreigon isn't scary, it's just misunderstood. But no she won't because she's judgmental.
Probably not since her passport expired.
Maybe in an episode of Cops.

In all honesty there aren't any real answers to most of your questions. Pokemon is a very ambiguous work of art that likes to keep viewers guessing. All I can say is just watch the anime (and buy the merchandise) and wait and see if your questions are addressed--GroovySandwich 08:44, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Music video - people dressed as African animals

Sorry for the vagueness of this question, but I don't have anything but my own memory to go on. Back in about 1997-98, there was a music video getting a lot of TV airplay (at least in Europe, not sure about America), in which people were dressed as various African animals (lions, giraffes, zebras, etc.). Sort of like the new Lion King (musical), but I don't think it was affiliated with it. I'm pretty sure it was an instrumental piece (no lyrics), or if there was singing it was just "ah ah ah". Does anyone recognize this from my vague description? Can anyone tell me the name of the piece or the musician(s) who performed it? Thanks. Pais (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like Sunchyme. Nanonic (talk) 00:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
