The president of the organization, David Walsh, stated that previously this console was positioned as an entertainment device for the whole family. With the release of Madworld on the Wii, violent games appeared, even though the console was already in excellent demand without them. According to Walsh, the new action game is an unnecessary reminder that parents should carefully monitor what their children watch and play.
Representatives of the National Institute on Media and the Family hope that Nintendo will continue to release games for the audience it originally targeted. In other words, the organization hopes to see more projects that are suitable for the whole family.
Last year, the head of Mediawatch-UK, John Beyer, criticized Madworld. He expressed hope that this action game would not be sold in the UK. Later it became known that Madworld would still be released in that country.
The game Madworld, created by studio PlatinumGames, is a black-and-white third-person action game where the main character must fight crowds of enemies. In battle, he can use any available means. In addition, the hero is initially equipped with a chainsaw, with which he can cut opponents into pieces. The game was released in North America on March 10, 2009, and the European release is scheduled for March 20.
