Steve Conger writes, "If it isn’t blatantly obvious already, Nintendo seems to be prepared to hit the ground running with the “core” gaming audience when it’s new piece of kit lands later this Fall. It’s no secret that the Wii, for all intents and purposes, was a glorified gimmick for all but those who took the time to see through that facade. So, with the Wii U carrying on the moniker(and perhaps stigma, for that matter) of the previous generation, how does the big “N” go about drawing gaming enthusiasts back into the fold? Software. EXCLUSIVE software."

It has gone on record that someone within Platinum Games (dont remember name) has already shown interest to work with Nintendo in developing the next iteration of the Starfox franchise. First they make multiple exclusive offerings for the Nintendo fanbase, now they show interest in Nintendo 1st party exclusive offerings. It is looking very much some type of collaboration could come to reality in the near future.
After the much anticipated release of Nintendo Wii U entertainment system AAA exclusive Bayonetta 2. I hope that Nintendo shines its innovative light toward the under appreciated Vanquish IP as well. Vanquish 2 co developed with Nintendo would be a very tasty treat.
Nintendo has been showing great interest in satisfying the hardcore gamer next generation just as much as the casual supporters. A merge with AAA software giant Platinum Games could be an Ace in the hole as far as winning business strategy is concerned. And would provide an earth shattering MEGATON announcement at one of the many gaming conferences throughout the year. I am going to keep my lucky Super Mario hat around in hopes that a deal like this is etched into stone.
Rated E For Everyone
But yes, Nintendo should go for it and aquire platinum games. Right along with Retro that would be 2 of the top dev teams in the world working for Nintendo. I would love to see another Madworld plus Vanquish!
Unfortunately for me, Madworld is one of those golden exclusives that I have missed out on. I am going to have to slide over to Amazon.com and scoop that game up when I get the chance. I have heard nothing but great things about it.
I am still waiting to play Anarchy Reigns, but there is no trace of that game anywhere.
Rated E For Everyone
Man, oh man, the Wii-U will definitely be a good competitor for next gen if Nintendo does acquire Plat.Games cause they are very talented developers!
That's hardcore.
As much as I don't want to admit it, your positive outlook on Nintendo based articles or news, adds a nice twist to all the hate and trolls around here... To be honest with you, I'd rather hear positive stuff about a company instead of trolls slamming, and trying to defend why their company of choice is circling the drain... No matter how many people disagree with you, there's always more that agree with you whether they admit it or not!
Rated NE
"for Nintendo Employee" lol
Haters will outrage IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
Rated E For Everyone
Edit:
And I know about conker but that wasn't pushing any boundaries, and wasn't popular like other Nintendo kid friendly games.
@kaos
And how much did that game sale and where's its sequel? Nintendo and adult games never go hand-to-hand. Nintendo is only doing this to try and take away the core that already established themselves on the other consoles. Majority 99% of Nintendo games are kid/family friendly that won't ever change.
@Omarzy
Final fight
Mortal kombat
Big examples right there. there's a bunch more but you go look them up they range from SNES to current Nintendo consoles.
I remember when Nintendo went out of their way to tone down Madworld http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Rated M For Mature?
Yes most Nintendo in house developed games are E for Everyone titles. It has been that way from the beginning. That is not going to stop Nintendo from publishing more mature games for their Elite fanbase. Madworld was obviously not made by Nintendo. Nintendo is more or less the Walt Disney of the gaming industry. And just how Walt Disney purchased Marvel which contains violence. Nintendo can publish M For Mature games like they did with Eternal Darkness.
I did not see Nintendo "tone down" the Resident Evil Remake on the Nintendo Gamecube entertainment system, or Resident Evil 4. Which was exclusive at some point in time. Going forward you will see many more mature gaming experiences released within the Nintendo product line. The Nintendo Wii U entertainment system has yet to release to the public and there is already a clear window of change in their strategic game plan.
What major platform Bayonetta sold the most on is irrelevant at this point in time. That said title is now a Nintendo Wii U entertainment system exclusive offering.
@Below..
Bayonetta has already been dropped because of poor sales performance. I am quite sure that Nintendo was aware of that fact before deciding to Publish the sequel. I am sure that they are well aware that the title has a moderate fanbase. Sega dropped the production for a reason, Nintendo decided that one mans junk is another mans treasure. So went on with production anyway.
Most PG titles dont sell well. They make different types of games then what this new generation of gamer has grown accustom to. That has been well documented, and like I said.. Nintendo went on to publish them anyway.
Rated E For Everyone
Those mature games you are meantiong aren't pushing anything. Bayonetta has a sexual erotic adult oriented theme. Games that are over-the-top bloody (gore) and sexual, never do good on Nintendo consoles. And are usually banned or censored by them (nintendo). Really your gonna bring up resident evil?
Yup and that's smart release an adult oriented game on a console manufacturer synonymous with a kid/family friendly record, where mature games always sell/perform bad. Again like I said, Nintendo is doing this to try and steal some of the core audience, but it won't work and it completely screwed over PG fanbase that are already pissed at them and are stating they will not get a wiiU to play bayonetta or other PG games on. So attract a new audience, what audience? The ones they screwed over and the ones who don't buy these type of games on Nintendo consoles? Just a waste of time, only for it to sell poorly and Nintendo drops it.
And for Marzy
Some of SNK games were censored as well.
Entitlement
noun /enˈtītlmənt/
entitlements, plural
The fact of having a right to something - full entitlement to games and game companies should be offered
- you should be fully aware of your entitlements to every game of your favourite franchise by a particular company on the console of your choice and not Nintendo.
The amount to which a person has a right
- annual WAAAAAAAmbumlance entitlement.

@ mamotte. Only slightly above a million haters. Everyone else doesn't really give a damn.Despite the loud mouths making a fuss about it, most people wouldn't care any more then they cared when the Bayonetta and Vanquish first came out.
@ PopRocks359. I agree fully. I love how people are blowing this out of proportion and how Nintendo fans are pretending as if Nintendo getting Bayonetta is some sort of blockbuster news or something no realizing that it is really is only them still boasting and brooding about it while anyone who wasn't in the million people who brought the first game have already moved on. Now give me my disagrees like I know you will and move along.But remember no one cares as much as people seem to think they do.
Sega IP.doesnt mafworld belong to nintendo.
But a revised Virtual Joe? fu** n a
I should look into that.
;)
glad nintendo "saved" bayonetta 2 because its really clear there were absolutely no other avenues to pursue >.>
Zangeki no Reginleiv,Giest Force,Conkers Bad Fur day all Published by Nintendo. There is another game that has sexual themes and innuendo. Quite a bit really. Also published by Nintendo. The Last Story. Wait hold on Nintendo also Co owns the IP to Fatal Frame. They also published Pandora's Tower. That game you have to kill monsters in several towers then feed the flesh of those monsters to a girl who is a vegetarian to stop her from turning into a hideous beast.
I also remember Zelda Majoras Mask being a very dark game esp many of the side stories. TP had it's dark moments as well.
Nintendo is not afraid of gore or sex or anything Mature rated.
