Ok I have to point out that most high profile adult themed Switch 3rd party content is just hand-me-downs from consoles that have the lions share of its sales. 

I have to ask, because I know Nintendo fans are by far the most passionate of any faction, but I want a plain answer: do you think Nintendo should diversify the themes of its games beyond family friendly and not rely on old 3rd party ports? Personally Nintendo was my only console growing up but as an adult I like those adult themed games and stories that Nintendo games just don’t fill. People are entitled to want their tastes accommodated, so shooing people away that want Nintendo to satisfy their growing tastes is sweeping the problem under the rug. You just driving the older generation away as Nintendo welcomes in the next batch of kids to replace them. 

On another note, do you feel Nintendo needs a complete overhaul in their online infrastructure? 

They do and they have. They publish M rated games. Nintendo may not develop M rated games but they do publish them and have put characters from M rated games in smash. As a fighter or a spirit. Nintendo paid for the distribution of Wolfenstein The New Colossus. They publish Bayonetta. They made a deal with Blizzard on Diablo III. Skyrim and others for exclusive content.  Switch I believe has the most M rated games of any Nintendo console ever made.  Nintendo could publish a dozen M rated games in a year and people would still whine and complain they are not adult enough or some are too anime. It's like how Nintendo is always creating new IPs but they never count because they are anime or too niche or not gritty enough so usually the same people who call their games kiddie or need to make "adult" games. Which is such a broad brush. What constitutes an "adult" game. To me, people who say that are too insecure to be seen playing Mario by their bro friends.

Smash characters don’t count, you know I mean full games in themselves. Those other titles are kinda old and again most 3rd party games skip Nintendo all together. Under most circumstances this would be unacceptable, which is why Nintendo is the go-to “second console” for millions. 

Id say an adult game constitutes complicated characters with a nuanced story with mature themes like violence, sexuality, and general dark/gritty atmosphere. It’s not wrong to say Nintendo doesn’t offer that with 1st party. They are great at what they do, but you (fans) shouldn’t sweep under the rug concerns that people want a little more then their usual whimsical family friendly couch gaming session games. 

This happens every gen. Never tell a Nintendo fan their console doesn’t have adult content. Because whatever games you list, they are table scraps compared to what PC/Ps/Xbox get year round. My point is I’m defending people that have a legitimate desire to see Nintendo diversify their offerings.
