I think it was a bold move, but they can't just stop at "Oh, we are not a kiddie console. we have Bayonetta". They have to continue getting M rated titles to get a more diverse lineup of of games to attract all types of gamers, not just the typical people that buy Nintendo products.

As for the people who say this game is not a system seller, I disagree to a certain extent. I mean, Bayonetta is not your typical Nintendo game that Fanboys usually buy a console for, so maybe the game will give the console a slight boast to an Audience that like games like Bayonetta but don't have a Wii U.

The thing is, Nintendo consoles have had mature games for years, people just overlook them and see Mario everywhere, the first time I seen a character die was a SNES game (Illusions of Time) first time I heard the word fuck in a game uncensored was a GC game (Die Hard Vendetta) first time I've stuck a stop sign through someones head who was already trapped in a garbage bin then picked up their body and slammed it repeatedly against a wall covered in spikes was in a wii game (if you don't know it I'm sad for you) But that's the thing people the adult games are always there but always overlooked because to be fair to Nintendo, they make such outstanding PG games they tend to overlap the gorey stuff that is always present on their machines.

As for system seller I think this is a game that would definately add a + for reasons for anyone to consider buying a Wii-U even if it's just a set of parents getting a console for their kids this Christmas there is the fact that the adults could have this to enjoy when the kids go off to sleep. Might make a few extra sales it just being on their even if it isn't people going out specifically to buy a Wii-U to play this game.

That game sounds like Madworld to me, my friend had it and it was his favorite. But I only played it in bits and pieces (I was addicted to WoW at the time and missed many, MANY great games from 2006-09).

I agree on your previous statements also, their ability to made great games everyone can enjoy is a gift and a curse, because no one notices the great Mature titles they offer as well. I am guilty of this too, for many of my friends that say Eternal Darkess is one of the best games they ever played but I was too busy playing other Nintendo franchises on the GC (Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Melee, Fire Emblem, Metroid) hell, I was even stuck on the franchises that were previously successful on their past systems (007: Nightfire, 007: Everything or Nothing) and their Sega exclusives (Phantasy Star Online eps: I,II, II). I guess I even have a Bias that Nintendo can't make a great "M" game. That's gonna change this October though because I plan on getting Bayonetta 2 (ironically I wasn't going to even get it though, but the 2 for 1 game deal sold me).

BTW thanks for reminding me of Madworld. I am shopping on Amazon for it as I am writing this.
