New Nintendo series

^Advance Wars?  Never played any, so I don't know for sure, but from what I've heard, those games are strategy/war games.

Metroid Prime is a First-Person Shooter, but in definition, not necessarily in player-expectations. Most FPS's are much more violent than Nintendo would be interested in persueing.

Violence is hardly what sets Prime apart from FPSs.  (What kind of definition of 'violent' is this, anyway?  Metroid is half about killing stuff.)

It probably won't happen, but I'd like to see what Nintendo would do with a military strategy-type game. Something along the lines of Civilization or Age of Empires, but in a Nintendo-ish style.

Strategy games... Fire Emblem and Advance Wars say hi?

I've got one thing Nintendo shouldn't make: a first person shooter.

You never know. Back when Rare was a second-party developer for Nintendo, they created one of the most critically-acclaimed first-person shooters of all time - Golden Eye 007.

I'm fairly sure he meant to say "graphic". And, if he did, he's right. Prime doesn't have nearly as much blood/gore as other FPSs. And yes, half of it is about killing things. But it's the other half that make the difference. Most "real" FPSs revolve almost entirely around shooting random people in the head, and don't even have the puzzle elements Prime.

Um.. yes, they have turn-based strategy, but no Real Time Strategy games.

Prime doesn't have nearly as much blood/gore as other FPSs.

But it's not a defining characteristic of FPSs.  What about World of Padman/loads of Quake-like FPSs (Warsow, Nexuiz)?  They're undoubtedly FPSs, but no graphic violence.  GoldenEye didn't have blood, even (IIRC, though Perfect Dark did; maybe that's what made it an 18 and GE a 15).

And yes, half of it is about killing things. But it's the other half that make the difference. Most "real" FPSs revolve almost entirely around shooting random people in the head, and don't even have the puzzle elements Prime.

Yeah, that's what I was saying.  I think the lack of focus on shooting accuracy also plays a large part: even combat is largely strategy-based (beam choice and stuff) over reactions and aiming (and so Corruption came closer, if not by much, to being an FPS).

[KidIcarus]

Yeah, but gameplay-wise GoldenEye is the typical FPS.

I would like a crossover game where you can choose to play as a good guy or a bad guy. All Nintendo characters are in it. Unlike SSB, it has gameplay similar to the Mario games I guess, where you have different worlds etc.

[tacopill]

I would like a crossover game, as well.  But with me, i would like to see a rotation in the genre: RPG, racing, FPS, etc.

Play as the bad guy.... Sounds amazing

Aren't the Wario games like that?

he may by greedy and lazy but he isn't really a villain, at least not anymore

play the villain as the protagonist, similar to how we follow Kira in Death Note.

[Tucayo]

Well, but in the Wario games he is the "good" character. I meant playing as Ganondorf, or who knows what villain. I was going to say Bowser, but BIS already lets you play as him, but it is not exactly what I mean
