35 reasons that the Wii isn't just for little kids, bratty teens or the elderly
Ace Master Cire:
Today we shall take a look at the darker part of the Wii's video game library, the very slim M-rated part. I know some of these games are available on other systems, but they are also available on the Wii too; which is what counts, and I also know that there are some E-T-rated games that are good for the Wii, but that's a topic for another day.

Wii was geared towards a younger / less mature titles market thats for sure. That said it did have its mature rated gems.
Honestly, people can deal with crappy graphic versions of call of duty etc, their online and friend code system is what sank them tho

Out of the 35 games in this thread, I'd only get these 11. I say this, because they look good and the series related ones interest me, the others are of no interest to me at all.
Superchop:
Honestly I never understood the concept of a system being kiddy just because it doesn't have "hardcore" games. To me, just cause a game has an "M" rating doesn't mean it's gonna be a good game. And I'm not saying anything against you Ace, I'm just saying that all the people who judge a system and it's games based on it's ratings aren't really gamers. I will agree that Nintendo definitely targeted different groups of people with their games being more family friendly and didn't focus on a select group like MS and Sony did. Not to say that it's what caused their downfall...what did cause their downfall is that I'm sure most people got so jaded by fanboys calling the system kiddy that they themselves believed that to be the case. I love my Wii and the games on it, whether they're considered kiddy or not I still enjoy those just as much as I enjoy the "hardcore" games.
And the online....yeah, no kidding...it was horrible. It took me like 15+ minutes to set up games of Mario Kart and Tetris Party with a friend...and if I wanted to play with more then 1 friend...forget it. It almost didn't happen...we had to coordinate with each other by phone pretty much everything before we even turned on the system.
By the way you forgot Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayer!

Damn, knew I was missing something! I had the picture on my ImageShack and was putting all the others up in the thread and I must've missed or skipped over that one.
