"M" rated games were on Nintendo systems long before Switch.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
They better keep and release stats of how many players actually use it.

Yeah. It still feels weird though. It has a wide spectrum of games.

Maybe you missed these games back then....
And more recent games on Switch.
Also first two games already on Switch.

I just hate how onesided of an issue this is.
Why is it always people who have a problem with it who get taken into consideration and get toggles?
Same with violence too, why don't people who like gore/ blood or sexualized content get toggles added then to games too?
It's always prudes that get catered to...
I also have to question people who are upset by the skin showing here, if that's your biggest worry then I dunno wtf game you're playing.
The voice lines and animations are going to be the same as far as I know at least, that's far more sexual than the actual skin.
So you'd be okay playing it in front of other people with moans and sexual poses and comments etc but not when there is skin?

I have all of those games except for NMH 3 and the Bayonettas.
It just feels odd that they are right along with Mario, Zelda, and Yoshi. It is a broad library.
Bayonetta is even in Smash Bros.

What I find amusing is that Sony switched with Nintendo in terms of who is the puritan

So you are telling me it’s weird a system have both “E” and “M” rated games?….I mean you do know both Playstation and Xbox also have both “M” and “E” rated games on their systems.

Yeah. I know. Times have changed. I remember back in the old days when Nintendo of America censored NES games. So, I still find it funny when you have really mature games on their consoles. I will always find it funny. Till the day I die.

I got used to it during N64. Conker was the last "this is Nintendo?" moment for me.
I still remember the BMX XXX thing, only Sony baby raged over titties, was funny at the time..... Mortal Kombat was a big wakeup call for Nintendo back in the day.

Hoping it’s irony, the guy has a badass beard, should shave his head or grow a man bun or something, that tidy short hair don’t fit the beard.

Nintendo is definitely fine putting their own games, that they have paid for the development of, on the Switch, yes. lol

Yeah we need more options. If devs aren’t allowed to do what they want anymore, because they fear the Twitter mob will ruin the PR or whatever, then let people choose and enjoy the games anyway they want.
There is no middle way where everyone is satisfied. Some like gore, some like erotism, some like both and some like nothing.
I would play with gore off if I could and I would have erotism and tease on. But games just get more gory and characters just get more boring.

Bayonetta is a fantastic character, totally in charge of any given moment. It's all a harmless tease.
She's Dante by way of Benny Hill and Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled.

Why are some people so incredibly afraid of the human body?
But yeah, better way to do it at least.

Very well said, they are taking whatever playbook and reasonable “how you could be against that” and taking advantage of a society where tribalism is rampant and fuelled by social media platforms every day. It is about exhorting control and shaping society and culture.
It is about the rigid hate and desire to supporrà everything you do not agree with / like and this idea that going from compromise, tolerance, and discourse to allow a diverse society to function and progress albeit slowly to rushing with force to their ideal of a good society where everything is universal (and progressively more and more soulless as it is afraid of taking any stance which may not cater to someone so caters to nobody allows people to project themselves with less effort or empathy).

Nintendo of Japan is cool with it. Nintendo of Europe is cool with it.
Nintendo of America needs to shut the fuck up.

Most games in the franchise are first party Nintendo titles, would be weird if Nintendo wasn't fine with it!

I got to admit - my character in Cyberpunk 2077 makes me blush and squirm. All the more power to those that can play these out in the open with family/friends.

Good (and clever) approach from Nintendo and Platinium just when I thought intelligence had definitly disappeared from the business suits.
I especially love the few ones who hate the idea of giving the choice to the user. Tells a lot about their ideology.

It is just a weird move. I think Eternal Darkness was also first party. I guess they are kinda like Disney now. They will back some mature stuff.
They hire other studios to do it, though.

They had Perfect Dark and Conkers Bad Fur Day on the N64 as well. It's rare but not unheard of.

I still can’t believe they were banning people who were asking for the Hogwart’s Legacy state of play link…

the industry goes over to that other place because they’re heavily regulated and strictly moderated They can hide their business practices underneath their parental practices.Can’t enjoy Bayonetta? What happen to expressing sexuality. She’s expressing herself using sex appeal, but there’s no actual sex involved. This fight was already fought when they implemented the ratings board and when video games became protected by the first amendment. You can buy Mortal Kombat and Night Trap on the Switch. The only real concern was people didn’t know what to buy because there wasn’t anything on the box to tell them the type of content, so parents just bought whatever. It also shut down people who just wanted content banned.

Because in order for something to get a toggle it has to exist in the design to begin with. HAL aren't going to add a Blood and Titties heading to their next Kirby planning document for the sake of satisfying what I suppose we'll call the 'anti-prude' demographic.
PC mods are the best you're going to get if you want to tack on explicit content for the sake of it.
