Lol, of course is not the best article in the world, but I can see where it goes, and I still support it, Brain Age, Nintedogs,Cooking Mama, Big Brain Academy (and maybe Tamagochi too), are some the best examples of current Nintendo Games that doesn´t feature violence as selling point and they are doing very good in sales... (Well maybe Cooking Mama not)

I understand too that Nintendo has non-violent, non-sport accessible games, but so do many developers. I think Sega deserves just as much credit for games like Super Monkey Ball, Sonic, Jet Set Radio and many others. Not to mention that Zelda is only a few blood splatters away from being an M-rated game itself. The violence is just as realistic as any other fantasy game i've played.

 

Well with Zelda, as long as the Violence is not performed against Humans there is no problem...

And of course, there is more devs, but how many faced succes with this non games?? Monkey ball is great but somehow people didn´t love it...

Why is there no problem if the violence is not performed against humans in Zelda? I'm looking at this from a parent's point of view here. I myself as a parent would not let my daughter play Zelda for a good while because the violence actually is pretty realistic, whether it's against a skeleton or spider or whatever else Link is slashing that day. You don't minus violence by minusing humans from the equation. It doesn't work that way.

Also are we just completely ignoring that Sonic is also in my quote there alongside Jet Set and Monkey Ball? I feel an article giving credit to one developer/publisher for making conscious choices to include everyone in gaming and not giving credit to others doing the same thing is a bit wrong.

 

Well ESBR and the movie industry take the realistic violence performed against humans as 18+ or Mature,  B+15 or C... thats why I´m saying there is no problem, because is not performing a act that can be associated to harm a human...in the same way how many games teach you to hurt animals like cats, dogs, birds???

And about Sega, well thats the author problem he choosed to leave it out... I´m not syaing Ninty deserves the whole credit but so far is the best example out there...
