Games that would be better with a Mature rating (Feature)

Jul 8, 2009

Just because a game gets rated 'Mature' doesn't mean it's going to be grown up and serious and any better than something deemed suitable for younger gamers. However, chances are it is probably going to be more fun, simply because it'll have more violence, more sexy, more swearing, more alcohol. And all of those things, as any responsible adult will tell you, are the main ingredients for a good time. In our opinion, the following games could ...

Nintendo Exec Predicts Wii Future, Chances Of 'GoldenEye' On Console (News)

Nov 29, 2006

Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president, is a man on a mission. His mission is to sell the red-hot Nintendo Wii and make sure people who have them love them.

"Are we feeling good about our success? Do we think we can have more success in the future? Absolutely," he said during a stuffed 40-minute interview with MTV News in a hotel just south of Central Park. "I do think that highlights a difference between us and our competitors: We're not arrogant. We don't view success as a right. We feel we need to earn success every day. And we're going to do that by being true to the gamer."

In the same hotel 51 weeks ago, Fils-Aime gave MTV News an early handle on the Nintendo Wii controller (see "First Look: Nintendo Revolution Controller Feels Smooth As Puppet Strings"). Now he's ready to talk about any Wii topic under the sun - to a point.

"We're looking at this as about eight days into the mission," he said, opening with a report of the company's recent success. Nintendo has sold 600,000 Wiis in North America and nearly half as many extra Wii controllers, Fils-Aime said (see "Wii Unmasked: Nintendo Reveals Price, Launch Date, Lineup Of Games"). The company has also sold more than 450,000 copies of "The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess." He said "Red Steel," "Rayman Raving Rabbids" and "Madden" all have sold well, as has the surgery game "Trauma Center: Second Opinion."

He offered a preview of the Wii's winter lineup. In addition to support from third-party game developers, Nintendo will publish three more titles for the Wii by the end of March: "WarioWare: Smooth Moves," "Wii Play" and "Mario Party 8." The first two will be released in January, the latter in March. All are compilations of shorter games...

Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Review)

Nov 15, 2006

What kid didn't love Operation? You know, the battery-powered board game in which you used tweezers to yank vital bones and organs from some poor schlub with bad hair and a light-up nose? What a great game. And Trauma Center: Second Opinion is the super-powered, seven-headed, genetically mutated video evolution of that game. It's niche-y and unique and a little gory and it isn't going to be easy to find. But find it anyway, because it's also the Wii's second must-have game (Zelda being the ...

Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Preview)

Oct 18, 2006

Wednesday 18 October 2006 Like its DS predecessor, Trauma Center: Second Opinion puts you in the scrubs of a novice doctor learning the ropes, before throwing all manner of splintered limbs, flat-lining patients and glass-pierced colons in your direction for you to fix. And, after a satisfying session of motion-sensitive surgery, we reckon Trauma Center is set to be Wii's best launch game. Where Trauma Center excels is in turning the Wii-mote and the Nunchuck controllers in your hands into the ...

Trauma Center: Second Opinion hands-on (Preview)

Sep 15, 2006

If there's one thing video games do better than any other form of entertainment, it's got to be the way they convince us that we're capable of whatever crazy stunts we manage to pull off in the game world. Much like that feeling of leaving a Jackie Chan movie convinced you can cartwheel across a telephone line, Trauma Center: Second Opinion instills a sense of medical mastery that really wouldn't be possible without the Wii remote. Second Opinion is barely more than a remake of last year's DS ...

Trauma Center Revolutionizes medicine (Preview)

Mar 13, 2006

It's a matter of life or death - at least, in the game. Trauma Center: Under the Knife was one of the biggest cult hits of 2005. The Nintendo DS-based surgery game mixes melodrama and tense twitch-gaming. It also is one of the best arguments for Nintendo's then-unproven touch screen system. The DS game puts you into the role of a young surgeon, Dr. Derek Stiles. After a botched operation or two, he begins to question his skills. Soon, though, he uncovers both a mysterious parasitic illness and ...
