While completely satirical, bbspots article about Sierra Leisure Suit Larry does raise some interesting questions about the Wii.
In the article, bbspot describes the new game as giving players the ability to use a Wii Mote Strap On to please computer women. Obviously this is fictitious, but as many know the truth can often be stranger then fiction. While there is no confirmation of what the new Leisure Suit Larry will be able, the Nintendo Wii certainly could be used in a provocative way. In fact, the very idea of the satirical bbspot article sounds like a great way to sell games.
The real questions is, how far is Nintendo willing to go? Many see Nintendo as a family console, but with the new Wii comes new possibilities. Not only for FPS, but other types of "violent" or sexually based games could benefit immensely from the Wii's new interactive behavior. We at 2old2play ask the question of what if? If Nintendo decided to move in another direction, we could see games with more mature themes rise to the top. If so, would this alienate Nintendo users or bring even more gamers over to the system?
