Nintendo wants more "mature" content on the switch

And to exploit an empty niche; if practically nobody else is offering M-rated content on Switch, that means little to no competition. On Switch, Bethesda basically have a monopoly on mature content for the time being.

The flipside of no competition is no market. PS4/XB1/PC have a long and storied history of Mature games doing well. Nintendo not making many M-Rated games in the last 5 years is not a good signal of a healthy market.

That's assuming though that the audience Switch is attracting is the same group of people who bought Wii Us; I don't think that's the case, I think having Botw as the system's flagship and the shift in advertising focus to hip Gen Ys in their 20s and 30s has attracted a crowd who will be more receptive to the likes of Skyrim or Doom than the diehard Ninty loyalists who bought the Wii U would've been.

I do agree with you though that Nintendo should lead from the front and get Retro to create their own equivalent to Uncharted or Gears to help broaden their appeal.
