How accurate do you think those numbers are for Splatoon (considering vgchartz figures are sometimes inaccurate)? I wasn't even aware it broke 3m yet, yet alone being close to 4m sold. In any case, Nintendo got themselves another legitimate system seller along with 3D Mario, Smash, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, mainline Zelda and mainline Pokemon. Now, if only they can manufacture a legit Teen/Mature rated system seller. Still amazes me that in 30 years, they still haven't made one that broke out. |
the key is that Nintendo has almost NEVER made Teen or M rated games on their own with their studios
they've paid other studios to exclusively make them (examples like 007/Perfect Dark with Rare, Eternal Darkness with whoeverthehell made that) but have not even really tried making adult games
I think Nintendo could grab a huge market share if they simple began developing more of a mix of games. They have the party/platforming/adventure categories down pretty strongly but some reason have not really attempted to make their own adult games
Nintendo should hire more employees and make a studio or two SPECIFICALLY dedicated to more adult games
occasionally adult games release on Nintendo consoles but they are always third party. Nintendo has shown they are capable of making great games in all genres, I just really wish they would be open minded to in-house production of some horror or action games
