This from the guy who had an Italian plumber throw fireballs at goombas and turtles.

Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's main man, says that he is "concerned" that developers are using violence too much in their games. Guess he's not a fan of Grand Theft Auto 4, huh?

I don't want to curb freedom of expression, but I am concerned many developers focus on excessive violence in order to stimulate people's minds.

I believe that here are more ways of grabbing players' attention than violence alone.

Well you know what they say. Violence isn't the answer. Put the sword down, Link.

Miyamoto also talked about the troubles the economy is currently facing, saying that:

We need to eat in order to live, that’s our first priority. But entertainment and the enrichment of our souls must come in second place. Nintendo’s mission is to take advantage of improving and cheaper technology to create reasonable and affordable entertainment. It’s very good value.

I agree that video games could do with a little less violence, but I also really enjoy games where the sole gameplay element is hecking and slashing the enemy soldiers to death(like Dynasty Warriors).

Pikmin has more killing than most FPS games I've played...it's just nothing is human and there isn't really any blood, but still, so much friggen' violence (which is the way I like my Pikmin).
