Nintendo's Switch Trailers Blur Violence, Highlight Shaky Gameplay

TL;DR Summary
At Nintendo’s Partner Direct, Switch trailers for Resident Evil Requiem and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle drew attention for bungled gameplay—Leon Kennedy misses a chainsaw hit and strikes a bed railing, while Indiana Jones misses a Nazi boat—more than the action itself. Critics note Nintendo’s apparent tendency to downplay violence in Directs, contrasting with Capcom’s graphic promos, and see a broader industry pattern as more mature games head to Switch; the piece suggests Nintendo prioritizes a family-friendly image over realistic violence in marketing.
