Bloober Talks Mature Wii Titles, Sales & Sense

‘Last Flight‘ executive producer, Marcin Kawa of Bloober, talks a lot of sense in a recent interview with Eurogamer, regarding the Wii audience and believes that there is room for mature content on Wii. He also mentions Capcom’s “bitching” about recent game sales and frankly we completely agree with everything he says!

“With such a strong install base it’s hard to believe that there’s not enough people to appreciate mature, core content. It’s all about games and quality. I’m not surprised that another shooter on rails doesn’t sell well. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that people expect something more than that..I bet No More Heroes 2 will do pretty good, as well as the new Metroid and Capcom’s Monster Hunter. I hope that Last Flight will be successful and that’s because we’re making a game that was thought out as a Wii game. Instead of bitching, we’d rather create something that has value and doesn’t feel like a third-rate port put together to make a quick buck.”

Continues after the break.

“Was it the right decision to develop a game on Wii? Should we make it less violent? Are we gonna sell enough copies to pay our bills? You know, typical questions, nothing unusual here. And while we love and respect Capcom and Pachter, we wouldn’t go that far and say that mature stuff doesn’t sell or that it’s the platform holder’s fault. Our logic is far simpler: if the game doesn’t sell, we did something wrong.” – executive producer Marcin Kawa
