Wii Want Grand Theft Auto - Nintendo Goes for M-rated Content

Nintendo has long taken the stance that shamelessly violent games such as Grand Theft Auto have no future, and thus no place on a Nintendo system. Even Shigeru Miyamoto was quoted in 2004 as saying that he unsure if such games dealing with “extreme subject matter” were appropriate. Now, Nintendo changed its tune and the Grand Theft Auto franchise could be making its way to the Wii.

Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime was caught on record by MTV as saying that the Wii will certainly be home to M-rated titles. “We’re reaching out to every publisher, frankly every day. I’ll be spending some time later today with the folks over at Take Two to see what type of support they can give our console. … The fact is there will be M-rated content on the Wii console. EA has already announced that they’re bringing ‘The Godfather’ to our console. And we want every single best-selling game to be available on Wii. Whatever that content is,” said Fils-Aime.
