| CaptainExplosion said: I still say this'd be a good time for Nintendo to make their own mature IPs. Sure, they've had Metroid and Xenoblade which are more mature than most of their games, but I'm talking on the level of Perfect Dark or Killer Instinct. |
It'll ultimately be up to Nintendo if they want to or not. If they do attempt, I hope they do it because they want to and not because the market demands it. "Mature" or games rated "M" for Mature aren't usually Nintendo's M.O. Usually those are made by other partners while Nintendo is credited as publishers (i.e., Eternal Darkness, Bayonetta 2, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, Conker). Nintendo is mostly known for dark and mature themes while not necesarily go too far into the realm of rated M for Mature. Games like Earthbound, Majora's Mask, FE: Geneology of the Holy War, Metroid, Wind Waker, Advance Wars Days of Ruin, Twilight Princess, etc. are examples of games Nintendo is more than willing to develop. It's up to the developers who want to experiment in that M for Mature realm. I'm not sure if there is anyone willing besides maybe Monolith Soft, Aonuma's team, Intelligent Systems, and Retro. The developer of Mario Kart just made ARMS and the developer of Animal Crossing is focusing on the Splatoon series. Koizumi, one of the producers of Mario, including Odyssey, maybe could? I don't know.
