I agree with Sega, Nintendo needs to start making a few mature games. I know Nintendo likes their family friendly image but they are never going to get 13-18 year old males buying their consoles if they have no hardcore/mature (whatever you want to call it) games. This is actually one of the two things keeping me from buying a Wii (the other being my budget).

Hate to break it to you, but have you looked at the sales of consoles?  Plenty of '13-18 year old males' are buying a Wii.  And not just looking for 'mature rated content'.  Looking for games from a variety of fields, from Mario and Zelda to Metroid and Smash Bros and even Mario Kart and Pikmin.

Spend some time on this site and you'll even see how many 'hardcore HD console gamers' have one or two major Wii games they're highly anticipating.

Well of course I can't speak for every single 13-18 year old male as they all have different tastes; but the majority of people in this range love shooting games and games that are considered "hardcore" like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

In the end Nintendo made the right move going after the casual audience and got huge sales and profit; I'm just saying it would be nice if they had more hardcore games.
