I'm going to be entirely honest with you. It's not okay or understandable. The problem is, it seems Nintendo wants to get back into the game. We're hearing all these rumors that Nintendo is going all out with the NX and wants to bring the hardcore gamers back. Even Miyamoto has recently stated his frustration with casual gamers. How can they possibly be able to sell the system to all kinds of gamers with their limitations. It's ridiculous.
I am taking a game design course and my professor who used to work at Bioware was telling us that all of the console makes have certain rules and criteria's that need to be followed in order to release your game on their platform. Nintendo is by far the most ridiculous to the point they even have a requirement of where you put your own logo. How can they hope to regain market share have gamers buy their games when their limitations scare off Western developers?
I really hope that Kimishima forces the NoA to get their shit together. They are the bane of their own success and if they are really planning to make a core gaming console (that's even rumored to have some firepower behind it) then they need to give gamers options, not limit them. Nintendo needs to open up and embrace all markets. Cater to every type of gamer and supply content for each type. Yes, that means Nintendo needs to start making M rated first party titles. They may likely need to use new IP for this or start taking risks with their major IP's. As much as we want an M rated Zelda.... I don't think we will see it. Metroid would make perfect sense as the core fanbase are all adults, and it's a very dark franchise. Hell, the Prime games are more violent that Halo imho. It should also be noted that the largest market of core gamers in general is around the 20-30 age bracket.
It is unfortunate.... but there are people out there who will by a game based on sex appeal. Bust size is one of those things.It is ridiculous but it's reality. Even game developers will use sex appeal to sell their games. Well known developers like Tomonobu Itagaki and even the legendary Hideo Kojima are guilty of this. It works and it works well.
