It's occured to me that many more 'mature' games have been making an appearance on the 'Cube.
For starters we were given Resident Evil exclusively, and since then we have actually had thrown at us a lot more games people would call 'adult'. Look at Die Hard, Medal of Honour, Timesplitters 2 and Eternal Darkness. ED probably being the most significant, seeing as it was published by Nintendo itself. There's also news of Hitman 2 coming to the GC, and its most likely there's a lot more to come.
If this snowball of 'mature' games sways more people to invest in a Gamecube, it's quite obvious that even more 3rd party developers will release their 'adult' games on the GC as well as the PS2 and X-Box, and - hopefully - at the same time. Is this the start of a more 'mature' Nintendo?

Hopefully that'll be one thing an increased number of 'mature' GC users will cure, and the only way to do that is to have more 'mature' game on the 'Cube.

Hopefully that'll be one thing an increased number of 'mature' GC users will cure, and the only way to do that is to have more 'mature' game on the 'Cube.
When Metroid Prime comes out no-one will dare say Nintendo is for babies!
true, but HM2 is already on PS2, XBOX and PC so gamecube is the last gaming thing to get it, suggesting that nintendo arent fully matured yet. Like trying to make cheese and eating it the day you made it.
I'm not against cute characters in Nintendo games, they're great, and make for amazing titles. I'm just trying to say it's not hurting Nintendo to have more 'mature' games on the system to win over some of the mainstream gamers.
This will ultimately lead to some of the good 'mature' games to be released on the 'Cube, which wouldn't be otherwise.

Gaming is supposed to be FUN though, and children always have the most fun, so maturity doesn't matter when selling games, I couldn't care less if the main character in my favourite game was a happy italian plumber, or a zombie killing cop type person thingymajigger, if it's good, then people buy it, and the kiddy thing is an excuse made up by fanboy's jealoous of the Gamecube.
