Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Should Nintendo develop more "Mature" rated games?

Tagged games:

Plus we know the main audience for M rated games. ;)

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata certainly hopes so.

There are two aspects of the suggestion ‘there should be software which adults can enjoy further’ that I would like to touch on,” he began. “One is that even though such software titles already exist, we have failed to make them widely known.

“And second,” he continued, “because games were originally entertainment mainly enjoyed by children or young men, even though we have been working hard to expand the age range and offer entertainment which can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, we still have more work to do.”

“If I understand your request correctly, you want Nintendo to develop games which fulfil people’s intellectual curiosity by combining culture and entertainment in a clever way, so I would like to consider it as a future challenge for us.”

"Now, the challenge for us is that we, ourselves, Nintendo, don't create that type of content. We're not experts at it. Our developers don't particularly enjoy making that content. They probably could make stellar content, if they chose to. We choose to do something else. So it really is up to the third party developer to create that great content and bring it to life on the platform."

"We could totally do that if we wanted, we just don't wanna" card? Either way, you can't fault a developer for sticking to its strength."

 



Nice KeptoKnight! Good find, coolcoolcool. SO, I would wish 2 things. 1) That he would get the 2nd parties to have a go at it. 2) That maybe one internal team would start experimenting, for the sake of penetrating new markets, that's their goal, total domination.

If they would be anything like the quality of Eternal Darkness, then hell yes! (I know Nintendo didn't exactly develop it, but it is probably the M rated game that they have been the most involved in). They could just pull a Disney and have a separate subsidiary company handle the more adult content so as not to tarnish their image among parents.

The games have either an adult target audience or adult thematic elements.

Did you stop reading the thread at that point and just reply?   There was more to the story if you keep reading.

Will do sir. Yes i am guilty of not reading it all the way through. The way the first post (with all the games listed) was bit weird though. 



The first post asked if Nintendo should produce more games with a "mature story", but the title asks if Nintendo should develop more "Mature rated" games.
To answer the first post, I say that Nintendo produces plenty of games with stories that adults can appreciate, so there's not a need to make games with stories that are targeted solely at adult audiences.
To answer the title, no. I don't want to see Nintendo crowd out third-party developers any further by invading the M-rated market. And E-rated games still somehow sell more.
