Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games

Sega has recently taken a few attempts at developing games for the Wii that were targeted at adults rather than kids. House of the Dead: Overkill and Madworld haven't been incredibly popular, but they've done well enough to turn a profit. In Sega's eyes, this makes mature-themed games for the Wii a successful experiment, or at least one they're willing to continue. Other companies are looking to get into the act as well. EA will be releasing M-rated Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii, and Bethesda has a project in the works too.

Good Fun

House of the Dead: Overkill was great fun. Recommended for two player zombie-killing action, 70s style!

It's about time.

While I'm no Sega/EA fanboy, I'm honestly getting sick of all the kiddie titles and messed-up ports when I pass the Wii section. My Wii is dusting right now, as the only games I ever play seriously with it are SSBB and Metroid Prime 3. From what I've seen, the "targeting family/casual/new gamer" stuff has gone overboard, with a lot of game companies getting tunnel vision in trying to get new audiences and as a result have abandoned the old.

> Do more mature games require a different style controller? Move over Guitar Hero, it's time for Adult Hero.

You might not be from the U.S... things are different here. In the U.S. "mature" means over-the-top, distracting levels of violence. Sex is not allowed at any ratings level.
