You know back in 2008, when the video 'Madworld' released on the Wii, it was considered to be one of the goriest and violent videos of its time, this resulting in a lot of parents wondering why this kind of video game would launch on a 'family friendly' console like the Wii
In which then a nintendo spokesman clarified at the time that:
"Wii appeals to a wide range of audiences from children and teenagers to adult and senior citizens, anyone from 5 - 95, as such there is a wide range of content for all ages and tastes available."
Nintendo's ok with releasing violent games on their system all the way back to the Wii days, even for a game like Doom, only reason why we don't she said games anymore is due to the lack of good 3rd party support on their Consoles.

yeah well, here's the thing. alot of people that were having issue's with nintedo on the fanbase side didn't notice. hell some which I worked with as video tester were surprised to hear when told there were rain bow six games on the game cube, but they left for other system's like sony & xbox were annoyed that our dev lead laughed them for not knowing nintendo did allow more mature titles.
but thing really went down hill for nintendo around the period of the wii, when poor ports of games head to the console . and when the wii u came about & the ea/ nintendo feud started it added to the even further push of poor port's and failer like zombi U cause Ubisoft started fallowing the crowed after the ***** fest of ea durnken middle managers and dev's . And nintendo not doing enough to teach other third part's how make better games on their console while there were other's that di now but they just chose to be lazy it just hurt alot of thing's.
ther ewere some that manged to do alot like the ninja guiden game maker with the installment of 3 that done well and there was deus ex human revolutions withthe wiiu. but for people that played games it was sorta too late. cause they wanted games mass effect and the arkham series which should have come to the console sooner. but they didn't.
cause they saw games like those as coming out too late even though some like ninja Guiden "deus EX human revolutions DC" were done better on the wii U , where a game like ninja guiden failed the Xbox and sony before that with it;s last intallemment prior to coming the Wii U . then there was mass effect 3 cause middle management workers of Ea's feud with Nintendo they put their secondary/ back up people on a game bioware created on it for Nintendo and the game was on other systems made by Bioware them selves. And you how some fans are about that? bio ware said they'd love to work for nintendo Ea's overseer's from middle management wouldn't let it happen due to the feud.
then there was the Crytek team they were making crysis game for Nintendo on the wiiu and they admitted they were ok & able to make their games that melt high end pc's work on the wiiu which was in gamer news out lets.
but they weren't allowed finish work cause they were owned by Ea just like bioware too.
there was alot of thing's in the way.
mostly that feud.
and the fact that people from the fanbase only thought Nintendo doesn't do mature titles themselves in first party.
even though there was red steel and the game Geist and they were ones that had killer instinct first & there was that game bout secret service agent using some sort of ball it was a shooter.
the point is the mature titles that were made by Nintendo them selves were too small and weren't done enough for number reason's like above.
when they did they were looking for salesand other response to see if they should continue to make those mature games. but gamer that keep claiming Nintendo doesn't do mature game's never responded and go silent even when those games were put and places they should be able to see.
they always go conveniently silent.
kinda like what happened with Bayonetta 2, Recently and that game stated to have awesome reviews
