Nintendo are hypocrites for talking out against bad games then letting them on system. Thompson should go after Nintendo and shame them, most parents don't know about Manhunt 2 and would be shocked and mad at Nintendo. Nintendo would drop game.

You can't be serious...do we really have to explain this?

Just because Nintendo chooses not to make violent games, doesn't mean they don't allow 3rd parties to make such games. The labels on the games are a warning to parents...a game like Manhunt 2 has an M rating and an explanation of why the game is rated M. Parents are responsible for making sure their kids don't play such games if they don't want them to.

"Most parents don't know about Manhunt 2 and would be shocked and mad at Nintendo." That's quite possible...I can see it now. A mom walks into the room, and sees her 12 year old playing this extremely violent game, and immediately places blame on Nintendo for making such a horrible game, yadda yadda.

Nintendo isn't held responsible for 3rd party games if they're properly rated. Even so, I'm pretty sure when Manhunt 2 was announced for the Wii, Nintendo issued a notice, telling parents to make sure to check the ESRB labels and everything. "Most parents would be shocked and mad...", they'd be mad because they like to place blame on others and are unaware of their own children's activities.
