Not at all. They censored FE: Tokyo Sessions Remix for the Switch.
If they had no kiddie image they would just remove that.

But they didn’t censored Xenoblade 2 and that game had more revealing cloths than TMS#FE. Also in TMS#FE there is still have cloths in the game more revealing than the one they censored, this why I consider that game’s censorship very bizarre and I don’t think we ever gonna censored like TMS#FE in other Switch game.

But they did alter dialogue, which is another form of censorship.

Japanese games dialogue gets altered for west since forever, they did same thing for original Drakengard when it got released in west.

Not even close Miyamoto, unless you are talking inside Japan.
You can show young adults playing the Switch at places like birthdays, basketball courts or anything you want. That is not reality though.

You're right, but that's still censorship that shouldn't be happening. If Nintendo really wants to shed their childish image, they should bring over faithful versions of those types of games.

Nintendo will always have that Family friendly image, games like Luigi’s Mansion 3 can be enjoyed both by adults and young kids and I don’t see anything wrong with that and they Still have their “M” rated games like Bayonetta and Shin Megami Tensei.

The context in the OP is completely different from what these trash posts perceive.
Which one? If we're talking about about dialogues Tora's peak weeb preaching is still the top.

I agree. It’s clear from many replies here that Nintendo murdered a lot of people’s pets and family, LOL.
More seriously: Nintendo products are for everyone. Always have been.
Their image and advertising, of course, may tell a different story. But “kiddy” Nintendo is an enduring product of the late 90s, when violent/edgy stuff was all the rage and Nintendo found a gold mine in Pokémon. That set the tone of the discussion for 20 years, and the narrative is still ongoing.
If you seriously think Nintendo products are kiddy because of neon-colored joycons you’re no more mature than the kids I overheard in a GameStop in 2017 saying that the Switch is “faggot stuff”.

You see people playing switch/handhelds? Seriously?
I have so far seen 1 kid playing switch out in the public.
Anyway, as long as they sell old slow tech with toy like quality and copy pasted bullshit marios that only kids and simple minded care = they are kids company, nothing else

I just wish they'd make more genuine effort to cater to a more hard core audience as well. Nintendo games consistently look amazing running on higher spec hardware.
Just wish emulation wasn't the only means to that experience.
They've always been sort of an "E for everyone" game company, which is great tbh; although that stance always came with certain sacrifices or technical limitations.
A pro sku for Nintendo consoles would be a great option imo.

This pic has a lot of truth in it. When you are 16 you’ll think COD is adult and Splatoon is childish. When you are 35 COD is embarrassing cringe for juveniles and Splatoon feels like a game for any age.

I think a few of you are missing the point a bit. He saying that Nintendo has tied to shed the idea that Nintendo consoles are only for kids and that video games as a medium are childish. A lot of the marketing around the Wii depicted families playing games together. Basically, fun for the whole family and not just little Billy. I don't think he's saying that Nintendo has shifted its focus to making mature, adults-only games. I doubt Nintendo will ever do that.

I don't agree they're all kid-friendly, but I do agree they allow way too much garbage on the eShop. More than two-thirds of the crap there shouldn't be allowed to even be sold - the games are that bad.
Sony and MS are just as bad, but those stores don't put the garbage games as much in your face. On the eShop, games are sorted by release date, putting shovelware on top of actual AAA releases.

Not really.
While there are many adults and teens playing Nintendo's games, median age of their fans/consumers of their products is much lower than competitions median age.

Yep when you dont care about putting on airs and trying to impress people you like what you like and dont care. We had the dude bro phase last gen where everything has to be brown and grey and now we have the walking sim deep dad story fad now. Only on nintendo can I play a game thats isnt trying to mimic the Hollywood machine with boring/generic osts equally as boring characters god speed nintendo.

Aaahh tbanks for the lol. So you could make Halo, proove it. 
Lets be honest here, they didn't censor xenoblade 2 for either one of the reasons:
1) Devs at Monolith were staunchly against it, maybe even someone high up the foodchain at Monolith was against it too
2) It was early in Switch lifecycle and Nintendo wasn't sure if Switch was even going to make it. They were so scared, that all the family friendly shit went straight out of the window. They had to have the weaboos on their side.
Now that Switch is doing well, they don't need to please weaboos no more. Not the western ones anyway.

I disagree, and I will go as far as saying that the fact that they didnt is one of the reason they have been able to keep themselves on the hardware market.

I think people should know better as well. while i understand adults can enjoy splatoon, it's certainly not gonna grab the attention of your average adult gamer. COD is one of the most popular games with adult gamers. so people making the comparison is laughable to me.

Splatoon is a game for toddlers. If you play that as an adult you look like a pedo. I'd rather look like Monster Energy drinker named Kyle.

thats still leagues cooler then splatoon guy. let's be realistic now your average adult is not gonna look at splatoon which looks like a generic nickelodeon and think that they wanna play that, over a military style realistic shooter.

I don't have a problem with any of that. My point is that they should take the few games that touch upon adult themes (even if it's just a little bit) and leave them alone. I can't blame people for thinking Nintendo is kiddy when they can't help themselves and alter the few games meant for a slight older demographic.
Early on, there's a joke about Pyra selling her body to earn money for some kind of part to fix a ship or to get Poppi to work or whatever. They changed the joke to remove any references to prostitution. There's more small changes like that throughout the game.

We have games like Fire Emblem Three Houses, especially with happened Edelgard past and what happened with Rhea's family. We also have third parties games Shin Megami Tensei are much darker than Persona series.

When it comes to third parties Nintendo surely is more mature compared to the other consoles as they don't request their games to be censored. If they stop censoring their first party games and create a rated M tittle them yeah there should be no question. I suppose the closes is Bayonetta 2 but that game is just funded and not first party game.

They altered dialogue in Three Houses too. What exactly is your point? I know censorship gets a lot of attention on this forum, and sometimes it's a bit overblown, but these are still the facts. Nintendo alters their games or allows them to be altered. It sometimes feels like they don't take their adult audience seriously, and that doesn't have anything to do with Mario or Kirby.
