Capcom talks mature titles on Wii
January 27th, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii“…Understand that publishers will point to retailers not asking for/supporting that content in significant volumes (unless there’s a big brand like RE attached). And retailers will in turn point to consumers not demanding/supporting that content (again, without a big brand or Nintendo attached) and then consumers come back to publishers screaming ‘why isn’t that content being created’. So there’s no easy answer here…Dead Rising: Chop Till you Drop is one [New mature Capcom games other than RE titles]. I also hate the term ‘mature’ content, unless you’re just referring to an ESRB rating…I have no news to share at this time [dark surprises for Wii owners this year].” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
Unfortunately, there is a cycle when it comes to mature content on Wii. That’s what happened with Winter…No one wanted to take a chance and agree to publish a mature game because they felt that consumers wouldn’t want to buy it in the end.

Personally I don’t think they should use Dead Rising to handle the hardcore crowd. No one wanted it and most preview have not been positive. They should have done something with one of Clover’s franchises. Those are the most hardcore games from them personally. Only the most knowledgeable gamer would buy something like that.
