I don't care for violence. I won't comment on the other thing(s) you mentioned.

Says the guy who just played through a series where a cute pink ball of mushroom fluff commits repeated horrid acts of cannibalism to defeat an evil dictator who has a fondness for crushing skulls with a mallet.

My wife actually told me she thought Kirby Super Star was too violent to play with our daughter.

She was right. King Dedede is basically a more colorful and fat version of Shao Kahn.

My biggest problem with the original Mortal Kombat is that is just wasn't a very good fighting game. Poor gameplay balance, poor control response, and poor mechanics. The blood n' guts did freak me out as a kid, though.

I think that the reason I played Mortal Kombat as a little boy was because I wasn't allowed too. I saw Senate hearings on TV wherein "experts" testified how awful this game was for children. I went down to the arcade the very next day to waste all my quarters on Mortal Kombat.

Those comics are both disturbing and hilarious at the same time.
