What's your reasoning for thinking so? I would assume the exact opoposite. One of the reasons Nintendo doesn't do that very often is because the audience for those games is more lacking on their consoles than it is for the competition. If they were on Playstation or Xbox, where that audience is latrgely present, they wouldn't have to think twice about releasing more games like that. |
Quite frankly, because they've never showed an inclination towards wanting to make mature games. They've been in the industry for 30 years; if Nintendo's internal studios wanted to make a mature title, they would have made a mature in-house title. Hell, they've shown such a non-desire to make them that the few M-Rated IPs they do have are all 2nd patry developed (Geist, Fatal Frame and Eternal Darkness off the top of my head). Kid-friendly games are all they seem to want to do internally outside of Metroid and Zelda and they keep on trying to push Metroid on Retro studios even though (from many rumors) they're sick of the franchise. The rest of their non-E-Rated titles (specifically Fire Emblem and the Xeno games) are done by 1st party studios outside of their internal dev teams that basically do what they're unwilling to do themselves. I actually want Nintendo to create more dev studios that focus on making the types of games that Nintendon't want to but still maintain the type of Nintendo quality most of us are used to.
