Two Classic Characters Return For Resident Evil 5's Mercenaries Reunion

In a sweet move by a great developer, Bethesda will be making a Wii game to target the mature audience. No word on if it will be a whole new title or possibly a re-release of Morrowind, but this announcement is good enough for now.
"We are going to make an announcement on a really big Wii game this year, we've got a couple of other things in the pipeline, and it's a format we're really looking at with the right approach," revealed Sean Brennan, managing director for Bethesda in Europe, in an exclusive interview published today.
"I've got consoles at home but I wouldn't sit and play an 18-rated game with my family on the Wii," he said. "Is there space in the Wii market for that? I think there is, but again, it's all about finding out how big that is. Is it 5 per cent? If it's five per cent of the market and you can own that space it's worth doing because you can achieve volume. If you can't own it at five per cent, it's not worth doing, quite frankly," he added.

In all seriousness, there probably are mature, serious Wii gamers, but most of them have probably got either a 360 or a PS3 already for their mature gaming.
Bethesda though.. I don't know, they are pretty solid developers, I could see them coming up with a damn good RPG that they would make exclusive for the system, and worth owning. When they use the word "mature" .. I know they mean deep story and etc.. not just random blood splattered everywhere and curse words ala GTA "mature" style. I honestly just hope it is something original and not a port of something they've done.
