Yes, TES and Witcher are all the rage, they're medieval, but you're forgetting that all those games are M/PEGI 18 - Witcher is quite brutal visually at times with some themes - I don't think Nintendo is quite willing to go there.

Yet Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are hyper violent games. Fatal Frame is also M-rated I think. 

So clearly they are willing to make M-rated games, they're just making poor choices in what they greenlight. Instead of niche Japanese titles, they'd be better off making something violent (sure) in a Western fantasy RPG setting. 

How about an open world fantasy game with a Game of Thrones like story? A game that can go to darker places than Zelda can? 


None of those games are anywhere near AAA, and, if I'm not mistaken, none of them are 1st party. For M-rated AAA open-world medieval game Nintendo would have to use their own studios, and that's what I don't see them willing to do.
