Yakuza is definitely an adult-oriented series. Drugs, alcohol, prostitution, and plenty of violence feature heavily in Yakuza’s gritty underground world. It’s definitely not something you’d expect to see alongside the face of Mario.
And yet, Yakuza has been expanding from its ancestral platform of PlayStation to PC and even Xbox with the most recent game. It’s led some fans to wonder why a Nintendo Switch port of the Yakuza games hasn’t already happened.

I think Cyberpunk is close in gameplay. Sure it's a futuristic setting but I find alot of similarities with the two games.
If this was Nintendo circa 2007 I'd agree. It's not though. Nintendo isn't afraid to publish adult 3rd party games and the Switch itself is littered with H games. Nothing family friendly about those games. Nothing about Yakuza is too adult for Nintendo devices.
I mean, Bayonetta 3 is coming out this year and they have Doom on the console....
Family first. Violence 2nd. But Yakuza is crime family violence..
Nintendo is Yakuza
