In the gaming community yes. In the parental community it's causing a stir cause "ZOMG a mature game for the Wii?! But but the children!" as if they'd never expected / heard of a violent game for the wii.
You know, it's weird, but Nintendo strikes me as MORE relaxed about that than they used to be.
I still think the most surprising "mature" Nintendo experience ever was the part where Sylvia makes out with her double at the beginning of Viewtiful Joe, if you beat it as Joe and play as Sylvia. Lesbian makeout scenes are not usually on Nintendo's approved list.
I really still half-wonder if the only reason they let that past the censors is that the game was so freaking hard that nobody in QA actually ever got there.
And man, I played that game hardcore. I actually even beat it as Sylvia, which is next to impossible, and got all the way up to that fire boss with Alastor before I just gave up. Viewtiful Joe and Devil May Cry's "hard" modes are still unparalleled in terms of being so reamingly difficult that you are driven to padded-wall insanity - though I think playing as Tofu in Resident Evil 3 might be up there.
