He thinks putting the games on the Switch would interfere with its family-friendly image that it has, especially in Japan.

...Even though the Switch already has tons of blatantly family-unfriendly games on it. Hell, Grand Theft Auto is on the Switch.

The Switch is a poor fit for the series because it's a weak shitty system.

Yeah okay also consider that there's a fidelity loss to be had on the Switch and these tend to be kinda fancy games.

I mean, if he had cited the Switch's weaker specs, that would have been 100% understandable and justifiable.

But he seems to still thinks Nintendo consoles operate like they did in the 90's as far as their image goes.

Has he seen the type of games the Switch has? Far worse games than the Yakuza series.

Yakuza 0-5 & and Dead Souls were released on PS3 so the Switch could run them. Heck, 1 & 2 were PS2 games and even were released on WiiU.

The excuse given is lame.

That's because he's a moron who said Kiryu hasn't killed anyone the entire series and is still somehow a virgin.
