Nintendo Gaming / RE:Mature Titles doesnt always mean Violent !

« on: January 04, 2004, 09:05:15 AM »

thecubedcanuck understand perfectly what i said....

it is ok not too like sports game and racing game but if nintendo doesnt offer this popular genre to alot of mature gamers (im not talking about the rating), then a majority will look elsewhere....  the recent boost in cube sale in due to the price cut so the parents can buy this toy for their children for xmas....  but the cube just need one absolute game to please alot of adult gamers... Gran Turismo sold PS1 and sold PS2 at the beginning before GTA.... Cars lovers dreamed to play this game when they saw the add.... but no game for the cube was impressime for the mass... Metroid Prime is impressive when you play with it but it doesnt make people by a cube... why ? yes, they could buy a cube to play Metroid Prime and Zelda but if they want a driving game (simulation) nothing... or they could buy a xbox with Halo and Projet Gotham 2 and have a bit of both genre... or a PS2 with Gran Turismo and GTA... Nintendo has to offer a full spectrum of games (by the mean of 3rd party) to plz everyone.... if not, they continue to make money but for how long... i dont want nintendo to go the route of sega... maybe the next nintendo console wont sell...

My PC is a Celeron400... So it is now useless... I know that a lot of cube owners dont like racing sim and even sports game and don't care for the lack of those titles.... but dont ask yourself why the cube is consider kiddie... not that mario is kiddy because i think it's fun... but nintendo offer a certain type of product to a certain type of consumer... and those who dont like it have to buy another console... this is the big problem.....  On the ps2 and Xbox, you have sports, you have kiddie, you have fun adventure, you have driving, violence, etc etc  so everybody is happy...  yes if you have a good computer, you can play a lot of those games and buy the cube for nintendo AAA games.... but if you dont have that good computer.... ? And since the cube owner just buy the nintendo titles, 3rd party went away.... and a lot of people too... cube is a good system and i like it.... but man, i wish that i have a xbox instead sometimes... just to play Rainbow Six, RallySports Challenge, Project Gotham 2 or GTA.....

When some people are asking for mature games, they are not always talking about violent games (or 18+ games)... maybe we should use adult games (or older teens) instead of mature... we got hyper violent games on gamecube with RE but it doesnt work.... but we dont have Gran Turismo or Project Gotham 2 or any good racing simulation (not arcade)... yes, F-Zero is a good game but i don't like the concept.... i bought the Playstation 1 for DRIVING GAMES and SPORTS GAMES when i was younger (whichs adult now normally like and are buying Xbox and PS2)... i bought gamcube at lauch over the other two because of the price and i was thinking that Nintendo wont do the same errors.. but i was wrong.... im still happy with it because i have some good games like Sega NHL2003, FIFA (sega sports left gamecube), SSX3  and not alot of time to play.... yes, Zelda and Metroid Prime are good games but, like a lot of people, they are worth a rent or two for me.... Racing games and Sports games can be played for 50hours+ if you like the game....  anyway, i think this is where a lot of people are mislead when talking about Mature Games.... and the majority of my friends of family member (im 24), bought a xbox or ps2 to play racing games.... the other day, my uncle said to my little cousin (6years) that xbox was for adult and gamecube for children after i game a Rally (xbox) game to my dad... he was aking why he had a gamecube and not a xbox.... im a true gamer and i want to types of game... when i was young, i played Driving games on the computer, flight simulation (combat),hockey games... i didnt even bought a 1party title for my super nes.... and i wont buy a nintendo console next time....
