I'd say it's the turn that the company has taken since 2011. All this time I had been supporting NIntendo in trying to make games for everyone and now, all of a sudden, they expect me to be okay with the fact that Nintendo's crawling back to this annoying gore-obsessed "Mature" 11-19-year-old male audience that the rest of the industry caters to. These guys never loved you, Nintendo, and they're never going to.
The only worse thing Nintendo can do is make a "Mature" game by themselves, at which point they'll be hopeless. |
Nintendo is trying to get a better mix of customers with the Wii U. I wouldn't say they are crawling back to the gore-obsessed youth.
Outside one (bought) exclusive like Bayonetta, they aren't doing anything different then with the Wii.

I'd say they're making a genuine effort to try to get more of the hardcore audience than with the wii... with making sure that ports are coming over to the Wii U.. And I see this as a good thing.
And to be honest, I don't think that this audience truly existed for consoles before the current generation and the advent of console online gaming..

You're never going to convince elitists who see their tastes as the only valid style of gaming and who depend on negative, heavily skewed generalizations for their arguments. It's a wasted effort to even try.

I don't think they are aiming to those elitist, but those kind of people which can be swayed. Nintendo is rather cost-savy company. I don't think they would waste money on trying to convinced the ones who can't be convinced.
Remember those charts Iwata showed at some E3 before, about the nr of people who were gamers, those who could be convinced to game and those who would never. They probably got similar charts for the hardcore/core/Non-Nintendo audience.
