"The problem that Nintedo have....."

While I know some parents may like nintendo, I can't help but notice a huge handicap nintendo has due to it's lack of mature games. Not all games have to be geared toward young adults, but that's where the money is. we're the people out buying the games now. The videogame market has changed and it's not just a bunch of 12 year olds anymore. Saying Nintendo is gonna be #1 again is ignoring the fact that few 18 year old guys are gonna buy a gamecube as their one and only system. They may buy one in addition to an x-box or ps2, but a man can't live off mario remakes alone. Unless ultra realistic racing scares you and just the words 'resident evil' makes you want to cry, just buying a gamecube for all your videogame needs isn't gonna work. Nintendo has let some slightly more mature games slip through it's gates that's a step in the right direction. if control-freak parents don't want a kid to have certain games then they can regulate that on there own, but a system shouldn't be geared toward an audience. That's what the games are for. The system should be a medium for art and entertainment. What world you decide to immerse yourself in is your choice.
