Failures of the Wii U - Christian
Cordova, TN; November 19, in the year of our Lord 2014--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is taking a good look at the failures of
the Wii U. Family Friendly Gaming is planning multiple articles
in this series. The third failure of the Wii U we are looking at
is Christian Games. If you thought the sports games did bad on
the Wii U, or educational games did bad on the Wii U, then you
are going to be extremely dismayed at how Christian video games
have utilized. In a nation where 80% of the population
self-identify as Christian it is amazing Nintendo has not
allowed one Christian video game on the Wii U.
Sure Nintendo has a long known history of being anti-Christian
in the video game industry. Sure Nintendo has gone out of their
way to discriminate and persecute Christians from a variety of
video game developers all the way back to Wisdom Tree. In this
day and age of indie games, it is shocking that Nintendo’s
bigotry against Christians continues. Especially when we look at
some of the stinker indie games Nintendo has let on the Wii U.
The Letter is a perfect example. The Bible Game, and Bible
Adventures are twenty times better than The Letter. Nintendo
allowed The Letter, but denies Christian video game developers.
Bigotry against Christians is the only logical reason Nintendo
allows such low level video games, and denies Christian games
that look, sound, and play better.
Christian video games continue to thrive on the Personal
Computer, iOS, and Android platforms. Yet Nintendo has not
figured out how to court any of the Christian video game
developers. Family Friendly Gaming asked multiple Christian
video game developers (who asked to have their contact
information kept in confidence), and found out that Nintendo
refuses to allow them to port, or develop on the Wii U and
Nintendo 3DS. This draconian policy by Nintendo is why they are
losing support. They can not expect to discriminate against
Christians in a Christian nation, and still have us give them
our money. Nintendo has been exposed.
If Nintendo wants to continue to exist in the video game
industry they need to correct quite a few things. Their lack of
inclusiveness is one of the things that is hurting them. They
have not properly targeted, and they have exposed themselves as
bigots with a hateful double standard. They are giving away
tools for small indie developers to make games on the Wii U. At
the same time they are denying Christian video games on their
systems. They can’t keep this double standard up if they want to
get money from Christians. They need to call holidays by the
real names. Call it Thanksgiving, call it Christmas, and call it
Easter. We know Nintendo worships at the idolatry of political
correctness. Nintendo knows what to do if they want our money.
The question is - will they do the right thing? Or will they
continue to self destruct?
God bless,
