Will Wii Affect ESRB?


I was just thinking for a minute, while Nintendo's never been known for rarely producing (or even allowing on their system) controversial games I'm curious to know how the enhanced immersion factor of the Wiimote will change the ESRB rating system. Currently there's no criteria for immersion in games because it's so subjective. However, now there's a clearcut difference between say an 360 title and a Wii title as far as player involvement is concerned. Maybe I'm just paranoid that Jack Thompson and his army of retarded politicians are going to peg Nintendo for producing "murder simulations", but I think developers should definately be a little more careful when handling the Wii to avoid legal backlash. It could definately be said that the actual act of swinging a sword or aiming a gun could have a greater impact on the "evils" video games invoke than a simple tap of the A button. It's really something to look out for, I mean, none of us really want katana masters as children, right?
