We have more titles coming to Wii than what’s been announced HOWEVER, I must admit, many of them (outside of RE) are not mature titles despite the fact that’s an area Capcom is known for.

By and large, we don’t see the Wii being home to an sizble mature playerbase outside of some of the early adopters. We see it as being very, very broad with a family focus (especially in Japan). If there is a “core player base” on Wii, within two years, it will be largely a younger player (far younger than 360 or PS3).

You’ll see more announcements later this year on this front.

I dont really care if there are so called "mature" games on the Wii or not. Whats really "mature" is realizing that gaming is about having fun, gameplay, challenge and not conforming to social norms of violence, sex, and bad overemphazized plot lines. That, son, is really whats mature.

Uh, in a word...yes?

I don't get the sarcasm, I think Capcom knows a little something about games and the gaming industry.

Oh god.

Small but early evidence for my "decline of complex and mature games in porportion to casual market penetration" theory.

Sweeeet.  Thank you Nintendo, for screwing your fans over with franchise labels, antiquated consoles, and a great marketing strat.

Acutally a different part of rockstar is working on manhunt 2, from the people working on manhunt 2 for the psp and ps2, so no its not rely a port.

If Nintendo didn't pay attention the young 'uns, they'd be completely ignored. I think Nintendo will end up doing exactly what they did with the GameCube: Cater to the kids for a couple of years, then finally start to put out Teen and Mature titles right when all of their older fans have sold their Wiis. I know I didn't get a GameCube until I got wind that Resident Evil games would be coming out on them. 

There's a time and a place for Cooking Mama, and there's a time and a place for Gears of War.

What better way to change the outlook of a console that to deny it what could change it. Briliant.

Out of curiosity, do you have more than one talking point, or must every post harp on this single theme of yours?

I'd say this statement by a huge 3rd party publisher outweighs the existence of one adult themed game on the Wii.

When my favorite hobby has degraded into an endless series of franchise titles, crappy games, and a terribly informed playerbase, sometimes.  It appears to be a single theme because it so so true.

What's being given more publicity early on? Capcom saying nintendo is kiddy or the manhunt sequel? Yeah, that's right. Shrug it off because you people know those comments are meaningless unless you're a fanboy trying to see phantoms when there are none.
