Nintendo is living in the past

It's more like they refuse to move out of the family friendly mold.  And yeah, they do have Metroid:  Other M, but does anyone expect that to be controversial enough to get any higher than a T rating?  I really don't think with their current success that Nintendo would have the guts to put out edgier games like Heavy Rain.

Didn't Nintendo publish Eternal Darkness?  What was the rating on that? 

About Heavy Rain.  Isn't it like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books?  Don't you just select what you want to do and the game does it for you, or am I mistaken? 

Nintendo didn't develop Eternal Darkness.  That was Silicon Knights.  And it was made in the Gamecube era at a time when Nintendo might not have been playing as safe with game ideas to protect sales unlike now when they announce two 2d platformers in one E3 conference instead of any new thematic ideas for their games.

Don't know.  Never played it.  But at least it has a story that takes game stories in a new direction according to several reviewers.

But they did publish it which counts for something.  Now why would Nintendo want to protect sales during the Gamecube era when their sales weren't very good?  Are you telling me that if you're behind; making a game that doesn't appeal to the masses is a better idea than doing it if you're ahead?

How can you talk about something that you haven't played according to reviews? 

Watch this:  I have never played GTA IV, but I declare it one of the greatest games of all time according to reviews.  Do you respect my opinion on the game?
