Is There a Future For Mature Games On Wii?

Posted by Soulskill on from the grand-theft-mario-kart dept.

digitalfever writes "There are more than 50 million Wii systems worldwide. Logically, the audience for a wide range of games and interactive experiences should be rather big, but based on the evidence so far, either that's not true — or publishers have been hedging the wrong bets. No one has conclusively proved the case for (or against) the viability of mature games on Wii, but 2009 was a litmus test on a number of fronts, including the DS. The results aren't encouraging. "

    I've always found it a bit funny that "mature" seems to be associated with violence, gore and sex.

    I guess "mature games" are a way for "mature" people to safely release their immature urges ;).

    BTW it's not only adults who think about sex. Some (many?) children go about humping stuff. It's the adults who are supposed to know what's inappropriate behaviour (and brainwash the children accordingly ;) ).

    The closer I get to 40, the more the "mature" games bore the shit out of me.
