No it doesn't need Mario, Nintendo can easily make this their answer for lack of shooters on their console if they advertise the absolute crap out of this.

Yeah paint guns is really gonna being in that CoD fanbase. Hardcore action.

#1 it has the elements for an online shooter game
#2 Codename S.T.E.A.M is also a type of shooter

Also, this is about having a variety of game types and putting Nintendo's own take on these genres instead of just copying what everyone else is doing.
