Proof that Nintendo really want mature-themed games!

Interview with the Exec Producer on Scarface:

"WAS THERE ANY RESISTANCE FROM NINTENDO WHEN YOU TOLD THEM YOU WANTED TO BRING THIS VERY M-RATED GAME TO THE WII?

I would say that Nintendo were the most inviting company in terms of, "We really want mature content. We want ours to be a system for all ages." They don't feel the system is just for little kids. Which I agree with. I've seen more older people have fun with the Wii than you can imagine. To watch my mom play with the Wii was something I never thought I'd see. She'd never pick up a 360 or PS3 controller. But she plays "Wii Sports" with the grandkids."

He also goes on to say how there were wiimote/gameplayfeatures he'd love to incorporate for a Scarface sequel.

Plus this interview portion with Ed Boon on Mortal Kombat Armageddon:

"WAS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE GAME THAT NINTENDO MADE YOU TAKE OUT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO GREUSOME?

Not at all. I think Nintendo recognizes that there is room for mature rated games in their library of available titles. We had zero problems with them in terms of us including the complete version of "Armageddon."

I'm sure many of you recall Reggie's conversation with GTA's creator about GTA on Wii. Reggie wants Rockstar support, and they're completely fine with Manhunt 2 avaliable in their library- a game that makes gore look like rainbows and flowers. Is this a sign for things to come? Reggie has partly to praise for this - he stated at E3 2004: "I've worked forproducts targeted at 18's and 20-somethings. And I learnt a while ago, there's no BS-ing that audience."

"there's no BS-ing that audience."

lol

Nintendo wants to attract ALL users.

The only concern is how many the base has of any one group. The Wii sales have grown to the point where mature games are sure to have enough users to buy them legally.

I probably wouldn't play any of those game myself, but it's good to know Nintendo is finally opening up. They can finally position themselves to take over again.stkr

well im starting to realize that run-gun-gang-bang-fighting-streets-shooting games won't be any good for the wii. game developers should just stick with plain dual analog-A/Y/X/B button-d-pad-shoulder button configuration1upMushroomX6

I really hope to see a GTA game on Wii someday.. I dont really want GTA IV on wii, but a Wii Exclusive GTAArkansasBoy91

Hope and pray that everybody buys manhunt 2 then lol.

It will only be a matter of time until a GTA Wii exclusive is anounced...Super-Mario-Fan

Yes, i agree with you aswell. If Manhunt2 sells, we can REALLY REALLY expect some more Rockstar games.. They might even give us Bully? GTa exclusive??

No more games "updated for wii". If they bring GTA to the Wii it needs to be built from scratch.

Just on the whole 'I hope Manhunt 2 sells well' statement - what happens if it doesn't sell well? Many Nintendo fans here wouldn't even rent Mahunt 2, let alone buy it. It's not going to be bought by families, and it's not going to be bought by hardcore Nintendo fans. Then who will buy it?

I'm sure as hell going to buy it depending if I have to import and how well it's recieved, but is there anyone here who's willing to give Mahunt 2 a shot. Or are Nintendo fans just hoping someone else will buy a copy to support M-themed games?

I really hope you're right. I would like my GTA fix to come from a Wii game.

A few mature titles would be nice.Twilight Princesswas great, it was a step in the right direction (even though windwaker was brilliant).

i didnt really mind the lack of 'mature' titles on the previous console, as long as i get my fix of a sandbox-type game, good fps, etc. once in a while.Haziqonfire

Yeah but the majority ofgood FPS games areaimed at a mature audience. Same with sandbox games too.
