The Regginator admits that Nintendo looks to third parties for mature content, but also encourages consumers to buy the mature games out there.
Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime recently spoke to MTV about a very hot topic, namely the availability of "mature" games on Nintendo platforms.
While reiterating the importance of offering a wide range of entertainment options and the importance of third-party success on Nintendo systems, Fils-Aime was very candid when discussing Nintendo themselves creating games for mature audiences. He admitted that, "we, ourselves, Nintendo, don't create that type of content. We're not experts at it. Our developers don't particularly enjoy making that content. They probably could make stellar content, if they chose to. We choose to do something else. So it really is up to the third party developer to create that great content and bring it to life on the platform."
He also challenged those gamers asking for mature content to actually purchase the mature games that are made available. Citing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and The Conduit as quality games that received sub-par consumer response, Fils-Aime explained that "What we want to do is continue to encourage that type of development, and candidly also encourage those consumers who have been saying, 'Hey, Nintendo, where is this content?' to go out there and buy it and support it."
