| nintendo_fanboy said: Here in Europe and especially in germany (not so much in switzerland) this killer-games thing has been a big issue during the last years, and this could increase with the wii. as far as i know, red steel can't be sold to people younger than 18 in germany and i think most of the wii-fps will experience the same. If this gets a subject in the media, this could become a problem for nintendo, because casuals don't distinguish between the various consoles, which means that they call the wii "the new playstation" and they don't know about nintendos kiddie-image aswell. but if this is only discussed by gamers, it could even help nintendo, because a big issue for nintendo here during the last two generations was their kiddie-image, which made it uncool to own nintendo-systems. |
I thought that Europeans were generally very liberal about these things.
Anyway, I definitely think that nintendo would be hurt by mature games, such as GTA. If they started fielding games like that, then parents wouldn't be buying their kids as many Wii's.
Nintendo purposefully excludes mature games from its lineup, so they have thought this out long before we have, friends.
