Nintendo president Satoru Iwatahas expressed concernover the influx of first-person-shooter games that Western audiences seem to enjoy so much.
“Currently, in the western countries especially, war-themed gun-shooting games, which are not well-received in Japan, are very popular,” he said. “It is a reality that some of these games sell 10 million units per year in those markets, and this is one valid type of video game genre. I would personally feel sad if all video games became something like that, but on the other hand, I do not think such games should disappear.”
Nintendo itself could help give Western audiences more than FPS titles to choose from but …it can’t be arsed to localize ’em. Notourfault that all we get are shooters, Iwata!
