And...do they have to? Nintendo has said since day one on the NES they make games for 'all ages'. It seems to have gotten them pretty far. I can't think of one company who makes strictly M rated games who has gotten to the level of Nintendo. The biggest companies out there that I can think of that focuses on M rated games are Blizzard and Rockstar, and they don't even come close to Nintendo. Nintendo has titles like Metroid, Fire Emblem and etc, all Teen. And you know what, many people who like the 'M' games tend to like these games as well. They're doing just fine. |
Wow, Blizzard has been VERY successful with WoW alone. Then throw in the Diablo2 craze (many still play it today). They don't even have a console but just develop their games that have been extemely successful. I would go as far as saying that warcraft and starcraft and to a lesser extent diablo all rival Mario, Zelda and Metriod. Starcraft2 is pretty much the most anticipated game out there PERIOD along with Diablo3. Just ask around anyone that owns even a mediocre PC how badly they have been waiting for both those games. The story and replayability in Blizzard's games have been second to none. I know I will put my PS3 on hold the moment SC2 and D3 come out along with many others.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
