Of course it's fan art, what kind of dumbass question is that. You think Nintendo would make a game like that?

If they want a chance to restore their former fame and compete with the Xbox 360 and PS3 in the next generation, then yes. They should consider making more adult oriented games as those are what sell systems nowadays.

Don't get me wrong. I love several of the Nintendo franchises and games, but they need a broader appeal to sell systems.

The only way they'll expand their market beyond those of us that have stuck with them over the years is by being innovative and brining in ex- and non-gamers, and that's just what they are trying to do with the revolution.

I find that quite contradictory. Most people will suggest Nintendo is opening up to much broader audiences than ever with the DS and games like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing.. and the Revolution seems to be opening that door wider. You're suggesting that they NARROW their audience to the already sufficiently covered elsewhere 12-15 year old male.. I'm sorry, "adult" audience. I guarantee there are probably more adult males interested in playing a Mario or Zelda game then there are girls wanting to play Grand Theft Auto or.. Bloodrayne. It may not be the most financially lucrative plan, but they're definitely opening the doors of gaming to more people than the other guys.
