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. "

    Most mature games are just crap that try and shock and entertain children with some adult themes (violence & sex).
    I would rather publishers made a better effort at shipping more good games for Wii.

    So far I've been pretty happy with A Boy and His Blob. The artwork is nice, the gameplay is decent, it's a little easy. and I think in many ways it's targeted for younger players. But I'm an adult, not a teenager, so I'm not vehemently opposed to playing "kiddie games".
