I was wondering about that, as well. I've never had any trouble buying ANY game for any system anywhere no matter what the rating was. And I've been playing games more seriously since I was like 11 and I'm 21 now.

Well I personally think that we gotta get rid of a lot of these conservatism thats going on. Just let people live and buy games the way they want.

Ive actually seen several kids getting ID'd to buy M games.. Today in WALMART I saw one who's mother verbally OKed the sale of an M game. I didnt pay it much attention but I did notice.

Yeah When I was 16 any time I tried to get like a Halo/GTA game or some rated M game they always stopped me and said I need to see your ID.

All good points except that you make the jump from 'having' no mature titles' to 'being a kids system'. In fact, I think that makes the console more mature. Nintendo has realized that gamers are growing up, getting jobs, professional friends, wives / husbands, and having kids. I don't think they will have many mature titles because with all the focus they've had on being fmaily-friendly (read through the Iwata Asks series for a couple hours), adding a slew of M-rated games would be like Disney signing Wes Craven and Stephen King to make movies for them. Furthermore, the hardware they have to work with severly limits them in the M-rated Department - which generally relies on |_|b3R-1337 graphics to make blood and violence seem more realistic, or to add that special jiggle into DOA Beach Volleyball. The Wii itself just isn't geared for it.

I suppose it all comes back to how you look at it, but in my opinion, a console doesn't need mature rated games to be mature. I've played video games for 20 years, have a family, a job (and another on the side), and go to grad school. I've played on over a dozen different consoles over the years and, at one time, hosted a small emulation site. I've been around gaming awhile, and that's my take on it - for whatever it's worth.

Who cares about what games come out on any system, kids, adult, sports, Simulation what ever
None of it is junk, if you don't like the game just don't buy it.
If parents don't want there kids playing M games, then don't buy them for your kids.
Simple.

And i watch some news video online where they interviewed some women from Nintendo America and she said that there will be a larger collection of "Mature" games for the Wii and GTA would be one of them, ill see if i can find the link some where.

they wouldnt let me buy turok evolution...cause i was 15...and it was M but then i winked at the cute girl and then she said "well if its for a gift" "then ill let you by it" then i was happy...and the end!

agreed. Also everyone needs to remember that there is a parental controls now. So this should eliminate some games for under aged people.

LOL!!!!!!!!

That made me laugh

but you know what, seriously...

NO MORE PORTS! We got enough ports, we need games MADE for the Wii, like Elebits.

It wouldn't increase sales, but it could decrease Sony's.

I know my friends and me are all saying the one game we'll miss from the Playstation is GTA. That would be the only thing that would make me even consider getting a PS3 (Although I'd wait of the price to come down in a couple of years).

Godfather is coming out for the wii aswell. Cannot wait for it!

I know Best Buy checks IDs for mature games. I've been carded multiple times. When I bought Gears of War, I was carrying my 2 1/2 year old daughter and the cashier carded me (I'm 25). I was thinking, "Are you serious?" I just gave the cashier a kind of confused look and showed him my ID.

I noticed that when they scan in a Mature game, their screen pops up a window that asks if the buyer's DOB is on or before that date which would make you old enough to buy the game.

That's the most mature thing I've read in this thread so far. If the Wii is supposed to be for everyone, then surely that means there should be some games adults can enjoy as well? Just because a game is full of sex and/or violence, doesn't automatically mean it's crap. Heck, Resident Evil 4 was probably the Gamecube's finest moment. And like Wycky said, if you don't like mature games, you're quite welcome not to buy them. Or you can use the parental controls if you want.

I'd be interested to see a GTA game for the Wii, but only if it's something new, and not just some port of GTA 3 with tacked on Wiimote features.

i really hope they build a new gta game for wii it would rock with katana!! maby a smaller version of GTA4 with mosion sencing.

Why Smaller?

I think nintendo scored with the wii for a few VERY important reasons. We all must realize that the motion sensitive controllers dont jst appeal to the Consumers like us, but also to ALL of the companies that make games!!! If a company thinks that a system is doing really well on the market, that would of course incline them to develop games for that system. In the case of the wii, I think a lot of game designers probably see a lot of promise in the consoles control system. I think GTA would make an awesome addition to the wii.

They could make the controls similar to Zelda:TP. Its a 3rd person game, you can swing a katana similar to how Zelda swings his sword and shoot a gun the same way Zelda shoots arrows. For driving cars they need to be careful how they do it, because I heard the driving controls for CoD3 are a failure.
