why the games Yakuza are not on Nintendo Switch?

Neither SEGA nor Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio had spoken about it, but in an interview with GameSpot the head of the Japanese study, Masayoshi Yokoyama, has just confessed that what hinders the arrival of Yakuza to Nintendo consoles, precisely the Nintendo Switch is not something technical, but the essence of the series.

According to the Japanese creative, it is the “underground feeling” of the series that does not fit with the image suitable for all ages that the Nintendo Switch projects, which is why the study continues to hesitate about bringing the series to the console.

“We like to imagine ourselves as people of the night world, right? We don’t want to like walk through the day with someone else,” Yokoyama expressed. “For us, it’s like showing this kind of underground feeling. I think the underground feeling is what we want to project.”

It is important to remember, however, that the franchise Yakuza yes it has reached a Nintendo console. Last decade, for some reason, SEGA decided to release the first 2 installments for Wii U, although this only happened in Japan. Since then no iteration has touched a Nintendo console.
