Rare, Rare, Rare. Oh how you indulge your games with innuendos. Toads-in-the-hole, giant wing wangs, even the names of your games (I’m looking at you Grabbed by the testicles Ghoulies), and the list goes on and on. But sometimes…it’s not just about the hidden messages. It’s those moments that are oriented moreso to "adults" as opposed to the little tykes of the world. Thus, Computerandvideogames’ ‘Top 25 adults only moments in Nintendo’ feature is born. How did ye fare, oh Rare? Quite well…quite well indeed. Let’s take a look!

1. The DK Rap (Donkey Kong 64)- You foul-mouthed fiends! Bringing the first curse word into a Nintendo published title? Millions of kiddies played that game! Imagine the torture the poor parents endured when they had to explain to their children what hell is!

2. Conker’s Bad Fur Day- Shocked! Shocked we are! We all knew you lot could be devilish (those poor Tribals!!), but who would have guessed that two years later we’d be rolling poo balls, listening to a sunflower be stimulated, butt chewing dinos, swearing like there’s no tomorrow…I could just rant all day. Hell (oops!), Nintendo was even so ashamed they refused to cover it and wouldn’t even publish it in Europe! Are you happy with yourselves?!

3. Killing the Scientists (Goldeneye 007)- "I am Invincible!!" Who wouldn’t want to kill Boris? He had it coming to him! I’d say you clever chaps made it quite apparant that you wanted us to as well, since the ‘failed mission’ status doesn’t infiltrate the screen if he’s killed after his deed is done. And to this, I say thank you.

Whilst I’m sure there are plenty other ‘adults-only moments’ they could have included from your games Rare, three-out-of-twenty five isn’t half bad. Hmmm…This gives me an idea for an article of my own, me thinks. Watch for it you dastardly devs, you should enjoy it ;).
