Should Nintendo make an M-rated IP?

They should either buy or form a Western studio for the purpose of making "mature" first party games. And give them actual creative freedom instead of throttling them with conservative restrictions.

It's a massive slice of the market that they are almost completely missing out on.

Well maybe that would work. After all, back when they still owned Rare, Nintendo had 3 great M-rated titles; Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

They also recruited Retro to make mature games for the Gamecube. 

Metroid Prime may not have been M-rated, but it was no picnic; alien blood and guts splattered on the screen, scans gave gruesome clinical descriptions of how slain enemies died, and its overall mood was very dark and oppressive, totally unlike anything from Nintendo proper.
