| Jay520 said: I asked you for some suggestions of some mature elements and you gave Mario guns as an example. Simply adding guns really wouldn't make the game mature. Like you said, a game like Ratchet & clank is built around guns but I wouldn't call it mature in the slightest. You say you're tired of Mario saving Peach over and over. I can understand that. I can understand why you want change. But that doesn't mean that change should be for more mature. Maybe change the story so that Peach acts like she is caught, but is working together to lure Mario into a trap. There are so many new things that Nintendo can do, and they really aren't limited by lack of maturity. They could keep their style and make entirely new IPs with new experiences. They just choose not to. |
I think we're just going to have to disagree. I'm not expecting Mario to change, because Mario is Mario - it sells, people like that it's always very similar but slightly different. But Nintendo have multiple Mario esque platformers and - what I was getting at with the Ratchet comment - wouldn't hurt for them to try something a little more grown up, something a little different. I'd have described Ratchet as a teenagey platformer while Mario is more a 'for anyone' kind of game, but yeah, never mind.
Besides, we've wandered wildly off topic. Although the title (slightly misleadingly) suggests that Nintendo won't be making Call of Duty like games, the text suggests that they were referring to online multi-player centric games rather than games with more mature themes. The hardcore games from Nintendo debate is clearly something you feel strongly about but I suppose it would be best to have it somewhere other than here.
