I think the OP:s last post, where he clarifies what he is meaning, sums the whole thing up: 1. He points out that most of the most games he's interested in, are M-rated. 2. He's observed that Wii doesn't have many M-rated games.
Since the OP is asking whether people see this an issue or not, implies that the OP himself thinks it an issue, especially when he asks will be fixed. If it's not an issue, it doesn't need to be fixed. |
1. The OP has the right to be interested in mainly M-rated games.
2. He's correct to make the observation that the Wii is lacking in that category is direct comparison to other home consoles.
The OP sees this as an issue because he is interested in M-rated games and is looking for feedback. I'm pretty sure the feedback he wasn't looking for is being explained that his tastes are incorrect, and mature games are not mature while everyone provides a listing of alternative games to suit their own warped vision of what mature means in gaming. What exactly makes a game mature bdbdbd? I don't mean the rating, I mean the actual word "mature", since that's where a lot of people decided should be where this topic goes.
Why bother arguing semantics over the word when it's obvious what was meant by it? Mature in the ESRB's case is referring to content not suitable for a person under the age of 17. Just because people under that age group do it does not make it any less than what it is. Young people play Tetris, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Halo 3, Gears of War, etc. etc. until every game in known existence is named. You can't define a mature game by the people that play it, because there are no games that are strictly played within one demographic. Also you can't prove a certain demographic is even mature, unless you go by the most literal definition which basically is an adult. Adults play M-rated games, plus every other type of rating so then all games would be mature. This can go around in circles for days and we'll never get any closer to what a "mature game" is, so let's just accept that the ESRB rating is basically a buzzword to represent innapropriate content for young adults and children and just leave it at that.
