Should Nintendo make an M-rated IP?

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.

Metroid itself started to get really gritty when they made Super Metroid; human corpses in the space station, Draygon's visceral look, Crocomire's skin melting off while he's still conscious, Mother Brain's nightmarish final form, and finally Zebes itself is blown to pieces.

Of all Nintendo's existing franchises, Metroid has the most potential for expansion into an M-rated brand in the same vein as its inspiration; the film Alien.
