Is There a Future For Mature Games On Wii? 186
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. "

The Wii has plenty of games for "mature audiences", like your grandmother.

To be honest, the XBOX 360 was better then the Wii in every aspect except social gaming, and although my girlfriend would play sometimes, in the month I had the Wii, after the first week, I hardly ever turned it on.
Which one, your girlfriend, the Xbox, or the Wii?

Mature games == games for teenagers. Rather than games that an adult might enjoy.
I completely agree. As an adult I'd never play play a fps. I'd definitely not equip incendiary weapons and light my enemies on fire. I'd also not employ electrical weapons to shock them to death. Using the corrosive shotgun to disintegrate people is right out. I find absolutely no joy in any of this. Especially explosives, who needs them when you can play wii bowling.

I'm sure it could easily run Quake. And there's nothing more mature than Quake. (Except perhaps nethack).
