According to some experts , Nintendo makes a big mistake by not releasing WiI games with real bloody massacre, which is a lot for PCs and standard game consoles. If you think about it, Wii is the best suited for such a physical interaction: fights, knives, throwing stones, destroying surrounding objects with a kick, etc. Such games could have unprecedented realism.
Just imagine: you are tearing a road sign out of the ground and striking the opponent with all their might. It makes a difference to do it with the mouse or hands. The Wii prefix allows you to do this with your hands, which is its unique feature.
Probably, game developers will sooner or later realize what a unique opportunity they are missing, so that all standard bloody PC toys will finally be ported to Wii, and then unique games will appear that, in principle, would not have been possible when playing on another platform. Actually, the process is already beginning. Sega recently announced the first really brutal Wii game.
Nintendo is unlikely to be able to resist the huge financial flow that promises it the emergence of violent games, because Wii sales will increase many times over. Nintendo will certainly go for it, despite the risk of a government ban on Wii in some countries.
As evidence that the real fights will be very exciting on Wii, you can bring a real game - a virtual baseball for Wii. It requires a bat to hit the ball, and the public really likes it. This game is one of the most popular sports simulators for Wii. If people like to beat a ball with a bat, then other people should like to beat an enemy with a bat on the head. Naturally, we do not discuss here the social aspect of such games, their benefit / harm to society, etc. There are specially trained specialists to discuss such issues. But the reality is that people really like to beat the enemy on the head with a bat, and game developers have long exploited this human craving.
If Wii has established itself as a gaming platform for "adult" games, then we can even think about moving to the next stage: creating sex games, although this will require a significant improvement in the graphics subsystem.
