Wii to Feature More M Rated Games

BeefJack writes, "The Wii is the best selling system currently and it shows no signs of slowing down. It's already common knowledge that everyone wants a Wii. Grandparents, small children, famous celebrities, everyone wants a piece of the Wii. With games like Wii sports and Mario Kart Wii, who wouldn't want one? With all these "fun for everyone" games out and about, where does it leave all of us hardcore gamers?...

Nintendo, with SEGA, has decided to release a few more M (Mature) rated games and give the hardcore gamers what they want, blood guts, gore, and some humor on the side..."

Why? It is so obvious it is hard to explain or too much to explain,lol.

Either way, it is good that Nintendo is at least making an attempt to support their hardcore gamers.

I respecfully disagree. I think the Wii already has a better library than the PS3/360 simply because I am more into puzzle games and games that push innovation through the use of the Wii remote such as games like Zack and Wiki, Elebits, Wario Ware, and Metroid Prime 3.

While #1 mentions some good games, it is fairly saddening that I own every title I would want on the Wii. Unlike the Wii there are plenty of games that I still would buy on the ps3 right now if it wouldn't make me broke. This is coming from a guy who likes practically everything but sports games. Regardless of each systems' libraries I am looking forward to Mad World. Thankfully SEGA is willing to try venturing out a little. On a side note I hope Deadly Creatures turns out good too.

If it gets a solid library just like the PS2 did, i'm happy with that.
Since loads of PS2 games are still awesome.

[Voiceofreason]

Because you are a die hard Sony fan that feels Postman Pat, Power Rangers, Blues clues, Rugrats, and other childrens games are hardcore and AA must own... Wii will never be good enough for Sony fans. Doesnt mean anything though. It will still outsell the PS3 in every way that matters. PS3 will also never have a library on the same level as PS2.

[ChickeyCantor]

If you are talking to me, get a grip.
I was basically saying im not worried about the Wii library.

*facepalm*
VoR get real seriously you act like a child.

[AWBrawler]

pretty sure Voice was talking to Melon. He usually agrees with you a possibly sees you as being on the same "team".

[ChickeyCantor]

in that case, i take half of it back.
But come on he can also say stuff without the fanboy attacks you know.

[TheHater]

didn't Nintendo stated that they will have Hardcore games for the hardcore gamers at last year E3? Were are those games Nintendo?

[Voiceofreason]

You mean Shaun White, Call of Duty,Wario, GTA, etc? Uhm.. They are out now or otw out this year...BTW Nintendo never promises "HARDCORE" titles. They talk about core games. Games that their core consumers would buy.

[buy a ps3]

they have one M rated game coming and 95% of of wii owners are mom or children under 7.

[Mahr]

"they have one M rated game coming"

So, I, uh, take it it you didn't actually read the article.

[jorgeanaya000]

Do made up percentages make you feel smart?

[Neutral9000]

The Wii is swell. I have no strong feelings for or against Mature rated Wii games. They have sold over 9000 Wii consoles.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

To be honest with you, the most fun I've had this generation (until LittleBigPlanet and Buzz came into my life) was WarioWare: Smooth Moves. That game is so addicting!

I still prefer LBP and Buzz though.

I thought it was enough of a stretch when Nintendo got GTA: Chinatown Wars for the DS. Never thought the GTA Series would bleed onto products of a family game company.

[peeps]

perhaps if there we're more mature games i would consider a wii. I don't mean blood and guts but just not so 'kiddy'. Although even then i think because of the control scheme the wii will always be geared towards family or party gaming, and for that i have plenty of fun with my mates on games like guitar hero and buzz. So for now the wii is still a console i doubt i would enjoy more than my ps3/360/pc

[gametheory]

Just not as many as on the competition, and the experience will not be just as good. Poor Wii-only owners, their console is plagued with poorly received games and the ones that were well received don't sell that much unless they're made by Nintendo, which only makes publishers continue releasing shovelware instead of something good. Reviewers, gamers and developers agree that the Wii is plagued by poor quality, which is funny considering the Wiimote was *supposed* to make games better, but I guess it only worked with first party (or did it? Or perhaps game quality is largely independent of the way you play).

Thankfully there are alternatives to Nintendo for both consumers and developers.

[razorbladelight]

ratings are for losers who think that GTA games are iconic. It could be an E rated game and it could still kick ass. What's the point of having a bunch of M rated games if they are all about shooting aliens. Gears of War, the Conduit, Resistance, Halo... etc, et. al. You get the point. I don't care about the rating, it's the gameplay.

[AWBrawler]

Ratings mean nothing. I enjoy Animal Crossing more than Gear of Bad Dudes. I will be getting the Conduit, but unless it wows me beyond imagination, it'll take a back seat to Arc Rise Fantasia, Monster Hunter, or Fragile.

[Professor PGX]

by that logic, yall sayin if you ain't 17 or older and hate LBP, you casual by default.
