5 Games that prove the Wii can be mature

The Wii is often criticized for not having enough mature games. These people are simply not correct. If you decide to look past Carnival Games and Game Party, and why you would want to stay there I don't know, there are tonnes of games strictly restricted to the over 16s. These are five I've managed to pick out fairly easily.

5 games aren't enough.

Agent Smith4762d ago

I always wondered what Black Ops looked like on the Wii. Developer, I am disappoint.

LightofDarkness4762d ago

Funny they use Madworld as an example, the game that garnered lackluster sales and almost singlehandedly proved that the Wii can't feasibly do "mature" games. The audience just ain't there.

Now, if you're talking about mature GAMEPLAY, the Wii has a few good examples of that. Super Mario Galaxy games have very mature gameplay systems and mechanics/controls, honed to a fine art at this point.

But if your idea of maturity is blood, swearing and boobies, then congratulations: you've just turned 14.

zeal0us4762d ago (Edited 4762d ago )

5 is still a small to say see it can be mature. It would be like if halo&gears was the only game on the xbox and calling it the console of choice for hardcore gamers over choice of two games. Or if KZ and UC was only games on the ps3 and calling it the console of choice for hardcore gamers over choice of two games. No I wasn't saying any of the titles above aren't for hardcore gamers or bad.

Point is you can't call a console "the choice for hardcore gamers" over the choice of a limited amount of titles. It takes multiple titles to say a console is mature and the choice for hardcore gamers. Why do you think ps3 and 360 is the choice for hardcore games bc of multiple titles and not just one or two hits

Wii need more than 5 games to just call it mature, and from what I heard Madworld didn't sell that well. The wii have/has good game but overall it won't target a large amount hardcore gamers many bc of Nintendo still trying live by its 80/90 standard. I'm referring the standard Nintendo had during the pre-ESRB era, ever wonder why you MK copy on the Snes never contain blood but instead sweat.
I'm pretty sure there probably been lots of mature games that would been on the wii but Nintendo rejected them.

Blood, guns and gore =/= Maturity. In fact, when it comes down to material itself, gaming is still one of the most immature entertainment mediums out there. That isn't wrong nor bad, however.

Oh, but right, we're talking about the gaming community here.

Yeah, HOW DARE THEY NOT MAKE MATURE GAMES FOR MATURE GAMERS SUCH AS MYSELF!

PygmelionHunter4762d ago

Couldn't agree more, the definition of "mature" sure has changed...

thebudgetgamer4762d ago

i have to try and be mature in all other facets of my life, so when it comes to video games. not interested.

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos39d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts39d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook738d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka39d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka39d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr39d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz39d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos39d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1739d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca39d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Was Devastated With Bugs A Month Before Launch

The Resident Evil 4 remake's director has revealed in a recent documentary that the game was riddled with bugs in its final month before launch.

Rebel_Scum55d ago

Not a big surprise really. All games are pretty rough until the very end and everything is released with bugs regardless of how the consumer quantifies it as being “polished.”

CrimsonWing6955d ago

That’s sort of how game development or any kind of software development goes. Looking for bugs and debugging, QA, and trying to scramble and polish everything before a deadline’s up.
