I'm not talking about paying a developer to make one for them, I'm talking about them making one internally within their EPD studios. And as of right now, Metroid Prime 4 is their perfect opportunity to show that they can make an M-Rated game that can sell well on the Switch. They wouldn't even have to do much; just bump up the gore and horror aspects of the series. |
I agree that this would be a good showing. It is a fine line though. The mature titles already exist with other companies. Nintendo could risk damaging their reputation if they stray too far from their branding. Family games are very lucrative and now other game company has captured the family and kid market like Nintendo has and they have spent a lot of effort trying. I will say that they need mature titles sooner rather than later. Developing a new franchise if they have not already been doing so will happen too late for what they need.
