Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Anti-Matter, don't you keep saying you prefer Ratchet & Clank to 3D Mario, & wish the latter were more like the former?

If there were to be a Mario/Halo crossover (which there won't), it'd probably play just the way you say you want (I've been playing R&C PS4 & it's equal parts shooting to platforming).

As horrible as a Halo-Mario crossover idea is the Rabbids crossover, where Mario uses sci-fi guns and he's not killing the Rabbids for being annoying, worked really well so anything can go now for me. Bring on Mario-Doom, Mario-GTA, Mario-Leisure Suit Larry, Mario-Postal, Mario-Mortal Kombat, the more the better!

Gah....
It was very long, tough and complicated deliberation before i ultimately allowed shooter games in my gaming area but... it was like grey area that i still allowed.
I ultimately allowed Ratchet & Clank games, Metroid Prime Federation Force, other cartoonish shooter platformer games with consideration of the games are still rated E10+ until Teen with mild violence / cartoon violence.
But i still cannot allow Splatoon games due to gameplay very similar with rated 18+ shooter games that i really hate the most.
I cannot allow other rated Teen shooter games (Time Crisis for example) due to not have any interest at all with the game and still have cobtradictive feeling when the intensity of shooter games are crossing my line.
I still have mixed feeling from shooting the Rabbids by plunge due to similarity with survival shooting games like Time Crisis.
It was complicated. The shooter games that i allowed are between grey area and allowed area but the other games that i do not allowed due to crossing the line even by a tiny violation.

Mario use weapons like Ratchet & Clank, i still allow it as long it didn't use crossover from rated 18+ franchise.

@jump
That wasn't even funny to say things like that !
I hate those ideas !

@Anti-Matter Splatoon is nothing like 18+ shooters. It’s literally a game where you shoot ink on the ground. In Mario + Rabbids, there’s no violence.. the guns literally teleport the Rabbids back home.

@Anti-Matter Well not everything is about you. ;p And I'm half joking, the Raddids crossover show how unlikely Mario can work with other games.

I'm really not sure how inking the ground in Splatoon is anything like DOOM where you're chainsawing and shooting demons and whatnot. Splatoon is a game where you don't need to be the agressor to play or win.

@VoidofLight
I don't know how to say but everytime i saw Splatoon gameplay, i got the flashback of the hatred things about shooting games.
But i didn't feel anything wrong when playing Mario + Rabbids, Ratchet & Clank games.

@jump
There is one weapon from Splatoon 2 that actually caught my attention (Giant Roll) and Bow + Arrow from Splatoon 3.

Splatoon series is perfect for all ages. I have no problem turning it on for my kids. It's funny, I used to be all about COD and Halo, but I actually enjoy splatoon just as much if not more than the other shooters.

@korosanbo guess so. King zell, nate the hate and Emily Rogers say they haven't heard anything about nso overhaul.

@FragRed Does a Switch Pro or Halo-Mario crossover count as indie?

@jump Yes. Microsoft doesn’t have any big publisher for their games they have to self publish. Pretty sure that means they’re indie.

Um, yeah .... That's highly likely to be in such a thing! I'll check it out, though

Can't say I'm very interested in Indie World presentations honestly. I watched a couple, and most of the games just seemed unremarkable.

@Slowdive Microsoft/342 industries making a first/third person shooter with the Mario franchise? the Mario franchise next cross-over game?

Indie World in April...? I wonder if we are getting a direct this month after all.

Ah well, there'll probably be something worth getting in there either way

I doubt we'll be getting a direct this month, mainly since we're getting the indie direct. We probably won't get another general direct until June. @link3710

@Anti-Matter If you don't like violence, how come you like drawing pictures of boxers? Boxing can be very violent...
