Nintendo's Switch Trailers Blur Violence, Highlight Shaky Gameplay
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.
