Capcom: More Wii titles but no mature ones

Capcom characters - Image 1It is not a surprise that developers and publishers, like videogame titles, get a following as well. This is most especially true for more established ones such as Capcom (a couple of its earlier series include Mega Man and Street Fighter).

After being in the industry for almost three decades now, the company has established something which can only be referred to as the "Capcom signature." (More on this "signature" later.)

Anyways, Christian Svensson, Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Research for Capcom Entertainment Inc., assures fans, especially Wii users, that more titles are coming their way this year. However, he said that the titles are geared for towards younger audiences (with the exception of Resident Evil, of course). Svensson explained:

By and large, we don't see the Wii being home to a sizable mature player base outside of some of the early adopters. We see it as being very, very broad with a family focus especially in Japan. If there is a "core player base" on Wii, within two years, it will be largely a younger player, far younger than 360 or PS3.


Well, if you ask us, it's all right as long as these titles, be they for young or old, carry the same, exact signature we mentioned at the start of this article. As they say, good work will never go unnoticed.

I really hope a Megaman Action/RPG like Legends comes out for the Wii.

I agree, but where the hell does it say Nintendo is ALL Kiddy, i think everyone had this same idea with gamecube, but hell, it had bmxXXX and bloodrayne, RE4, AND I KNOW Metroid isnt all THAT Kiddy, it was rated Teen, So whoever thinks Nintendo is Kiddy can go jump off of a car. Plain and Simple, and heck no mess to clean up (just make sure the car isnt moving....)



This closes my rant for all people who think NIntendo is Kiddy. SHOV IT!

I think Capcom is making a mistake. Wii is intended for non-gamers meaning OLDER people. WTF Capcom Wii is for people of all ages not just kids. Look at PS2 it was intended for the older markets but still had just as many kiddy games if not more as Gamecube. Wakeup Capcom put as many games as you can on Wii.

It's so nice to see that the Zelda:TP sales have taught people NOTHING...

As long as they make a good old school style Mega Man (in 2D please!) or another Mega Man Legends I'll be happy.
