Nintendo's Doug Bowser talks having content for all age ranges on Switch (minus Adults Only), dodges Switch hardware revision question

Doug Bowser is going through the ringer at E3 this year. He's the new guy on the block when it comes to his position and all the interviews he's being asked to do. The Hollywood Reporter hit him up for a heavy-hitting interview, which you can check out two snippets from below.

THR: There are a number of M-rated third-party games on the Switch. Nintendo has a bit of a family-friendly image, are you focused on maintaining that or appealing to M-rated gamers?

DB: First and foremost, we do want to have content for every kind of gamer. We want to be a platform of choice and those choices may be by genre, by artistic styles. We support the ESRB and believe every game should be rated accordingly. We won’t have AO (Adults Only) games, but we will have other games rated M to make sure we have that strong variety. From the family-friendly perspective, we have great games for families. I think Link’s Awakening will be very friendly and fun engagement. Then, when you go to our catalog, you can see a breadth of content that is very family-friendly from Nintendo.

THR: There were rumors ahead of this year’s E3 that Nintendo would introduce new hardware. Are you working on any new versions of the Switch?

DB: [Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa] going back to his April financial review spoke to the fact that we wouldn’t be speaking about the hardware here, it would be about the games. Here’s what I will say, we’re just entering into the third year of Nintendo Switch, in the U.S. its been the number one performing console in the first two years of any platform in the last two generations. Clearly, there is demand for the Switch and that’s what we’re showcasing here. Again, always looking at new technologies and what’s next, but right now we’re focused very much on the new device.
