Update: I noted that Rockstar was the company involved in this quote, but Take-Two actually said the words (Rockstar is under Take-Two control though). My apologies!

Even though the Wii and DS have seen a few mature titles, there hasn’t exactly been a wide array of content to choose from. Rockstar is providing the DS with M-rated content in GTA: Chinatown Wars and SEGA recently released the ultra-violent MadWorld. Other than that though, there hasn’t been much to choose from. However, according to company chairman Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two “is the right company” for mature games on both the Wii and DS.

“I do believe there is an opportunity for M-rated titles on Nintendo — on the DS and on the Wii. I believe we’re the right company to be delivering that content.”
