Why doesn't nintendo make a mature game, like a realistic fps?

Answer 1

As long as it's been in existence (which has been since the advent of video games since Nintendo was the first), Nintendo has always been geared more towards those under 25. The past has shown Nintendo has great success with little kids because they license lots of games aimed at little kids. Long story short, Nintendo continues to make kid games because kid games are what goes off Nintendo's shelves.
There have been some games made for more mature audiences released for NIntendo systems, but usually they accomplish raising the age 'bar' by making more complex games, like RPGs, rather than more graphic games.
Perhaps this is one reason why the other companies (Sony and Microsoft) stepped in and made their own systems, with wider and generally more mature licenses and games.
Also, Nintendo is slated to release Metroid Prime 3 soon. Maybe that will be the more 'graphic' Nintendo title you're looking for.
Hope that helps, sorry it's so long.

Answer 2

Plain and simple: Nintendo doesn't need to. Why do you think they need to make a "mature, realistic first person shooter"? I'll take my Metriod Prime games, Animal Crossings, Marios, and Legend of Zelda's over some "mature" game anyday.

See, the difference between the "mature" games you want and Nintendo's games is rather simple: Nintendo's games are GOOD. Find me one snazzy shoot-em-up gorefest that has the heartfelt connection to gamers, the replayability, the stirring of fond memories like LoZ: The Ocarina of Time or SMB3.

Answer 3

First, Nintendo's intended audience is the "kiddie" set - that is, 6-18. While that has changed some with the Wii, they have made a strategic decision NOT to go into that market.

Second, for the GameCube anyway, when we were working on Turok IV we had to cut so much content from the GC disks to get the game to fit that it just didn't "feel" the same as it did on PS2 or X-Box.

Answer 4

because shigeru miyamoto, head of game design, has said before that he prefers games to be happy and fun, and not indulge in violence, death, or killing.
