The Wii will probably carry a much larger percentage of children's games, simply because of the lower cost of the console and software production.

While the launch titles have a few Mature games, there are still a ton of games directed at children; many of which won't be released on the 360 or the PS3. For instance:

November:

Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Rayman: Raving Rabbids (360 next year)
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
Happy Feet
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature From the Krusty Krab
Barnyard
Cars (also 360)


December:

Chicken Little: Ace In Action
Ice Age 2
The Ant Bully
Elebits
Open Season (Also 360)

So while the Wii will offer mature games, the majority of their opening catalog seems to be dominated with games for younger players. The "kiddie" stigma that plagued the Gamecube will probably continue with the Wii.

But who doesn't want to be a kid again? :)

Rayman is definitely not a kids game. Monkey ball and elebits are arguable, but I wouldnt put it there.

i might want to play elebits.

I mean games of the mortal kombat/grand theft auto variety (you know, blood/guts/dark themes), or will it be 'fun' kiddie games mostly?

Nintendo tends to focus on games for all ages, so it won't have as many exclusively mature titles. However, Mortal Kombat is hardly mature. The target audience is teenage boys...ie kids.

LOL! You think that isn't the target audience for GTA?
