If this was posted on Joystiq I predict there would be mild anarchy. Let's just keep this post here.
It's really embarrassing that a Mature game automatically conjures up images of blood and gore. Not thoughtful ideas about how you live your life, or open discussions about different viewpoints of the world. No, Mature means blood, and titillation.
I would argue that blood and gore is actually the antithesis of maturity, it's actually juvenile. It's easy chainsaw anonymous persons online while drinking coca-cola. It's a bit more difficult to...
...
...Wow, I can't think of a single game that has truly grappled with important real world issues in a coherent, thought provoking way.
Apart from Killer7, maybe.

So, wait, you're saying Macho-man Chainsaw-fest 2: Now with Chainsaw duels, should be rated E, but Imagination Land should be rated M?
You might be on to something. Though I agree "Adult Themes" are rarely desired by adults. They're basically "Teenage themes"

"Macho-man Chainsaw-fest 2: Now with Chainsaw duels", sounds amazing.
I'd play it, but only in secret. I'd then go on the internet and deny I ever did.

I'm happy with the catalog of games that the Wii offers, asslow as the releases are, if I want to play a mature? game I flip on the Xbox360, I like the idea of the Wii being the family console.

Yeah, but Nintendo can't forget of the hardcore gamers and the adult market, they can't always bet on the kids ya know. For myself, i have been with the big N for 20 years now, i'm 23 and I'm still loving my Wii, but I also spend a lot of time playing PS2 cuz the games there are neat and soon 'll be buying a PS3, but i'm still loving my Wii/GameCube/MultipleConsole
It's a good thing that Nintendo has some M rated games, and 'd like to see more third party games!!!

Although I agree that blood doesn't make a game, you've gotta admit that it's just plain fun to slice open other people in Gears of War. However, the truly deep and/or long lasting games I've played (Twilight Princess, Okami, Super mario Galaxy, Corruption, etc) are all T or E rated. I also think that the M rating screws a lot of the market. For example, I'm 16. My mom doesn't like M rated games thanks to the news making them scapegoats for school-shootings, so it's hard for me to get M games. So, the Wii is perfect. It's got deep, fun games, that don't rely on blood to be fun!

I disagree with the hate on mature games-- there are some things you just can't show well without some violence and gore. For example, RE4 is a great game, but without running into someone who's been burned on a stake or had their head pinned to a shack by a pitchfork it just wouldn't have that creepiness. Could it be made much less gory, scary, shocking, and probably get a T rating? Maybe. But it would ruin the experience.
The Wii having Mature titles will do nothing but help it, there are already tons of family friendly games out there. It's not a PS3 or 360 where nearly all of the good games require an ID to buy, and the 'family' titles are almost complete crap.
The bigger problem with mature titles is that, because society is screwed up, it's hard to look at themes seriously without pushing into AO territory. Because society for some reason considers sex, drugs, etc. much much worse than violence, it's hard to touch on mature issues without them becoming adult only ones. There's also the case that the AO rating, like NC-17, pretty much guarantees you WILL fail at the market. Honestly, there's no reason why AO and M need to be separate ratings.

Here's the thing though: why is blood and gore the only thing that can make a game mature? Certainly there are experiences that adults might be interested in that aren't murder-related. That's all I'm saying.

Like I said, violence is pretty much the only mature content that won't get an AO rating. Anything heavily sexual, even completely lacking violence, would be deemed as adult only content, whereas violence can almost always pass as mature. Don't ask me why society has no problem giving little kids toy guns to shoot each other with, but gets uptight if the very reason those kids exist is shown to them.
There are plenty of other things that can be mature in subject matter but only get T ratings, because they don't have content that would be considered mature. Of course there are things at all rating levels that can interest adults, but games are judged on their contents on society's fickle values instead of anything truly useful.
