swii26 said: With an adult market ever growing, should Nintendo put more focus on developing AAA titles with a mature story? According to data found at http://www.theesa.com/facts/gameplayer.asp, the average age of a game player is 37 and 82% of gamers are 18 and older. |
Miyamoto and others at Ninty have said they don't feel like Mature-rated games are a good fit for them, and of course, none of their franchises would even work in that type of game, except for Metroid or Zelda. I think mature-rated games using Ninty properties would better be handled by Retro or Monolith, or some other non-internal first-party studio.
Just look at Skyward Sword... I mean, if that's any indication of how EAD feels about the direction they want Zelda to go, that leaves precious little doubt that they have no interest in photo-realism.
