Topic: Reggie: Nintendo Devs Don't Enjoy Making Mature Content

[Jonnyboy117]

Well, people who don't like the Wii controller aren't going to like the controls, but that isn't a fault of the game.

I think it was more an issue of Conduit having too many control functions (especially for such a simple game) and it being hard to create a button layout with all the important ones readily available.

I like the wording "Don't Enjoy".

It's as if they wanted to, they could dominate the market, but they simply "Don't Enjoy" it.

That's classy.

enjoy has another meaning to, to enjoy is to receive some sort of benefit by doing something, so if they don't enjoy it, they don't receive any benefit

[Peachylala]

If the benefit was "going to the needs of whiny fans only to have them whine more", I can see why Nintendo's top tier developers are like that.

Be glad they are not Kojima.

So what does this strange group of developers "enjoy" then?

I'm sure Nintendo's Japanese dev teams are completely unaware of what the non-Japanese fans think of their games and I'm sure they don't care either.
 
Plus I always felt that "they'll whine anyway" is just a lame excuse used to justify staying the same and not making improvements.
 
I think the real situation is that Nintendo devs make whatever the **** Iwata or Miyamoto tell them to.  It's probably those two that don't want to make mature content so Nintendo as a whole doesn't.

They enjoy making games that their own families can play.

I wonder how they know they don't enjoy it; Nintendo, as far as I know, has never internally developed an M-rated game. They've published a few, but they were all done by outside studios.

Cuz Nintendo is full of nice people.

[Mop it up]

Just out of curiosity, which M-rated games have Nintendo published?

[NWR_insanolord]

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure Rare published both their M-rated N64 games themselves, so the only one I can think of that Nintendo published would be Geist. If Disaster had come to North America it may have been M, but it never did, and if (a huge if) Zangeki no Reginlev comes over, it'll be M.
