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.

Sounds to me like they are not confident in making a serious, gritty action/shooter or they don't have the team for it. Japanese gaming is much different than western which I can only assume that's the reason why. Hey. im all for variety on the Wii U, props to Nintendo for going for a new IP but this will not motivate shooting fans to go for a Wii U. If anything, it will be ridicule for it but that's just my opinion.

I'm not much of a shooter fan, I'm an RPG kind of guy.

The COD-base could play on WiiU a shooter like ...COD. The fans of dark gritty games could play Batman. But both aren't selling very well on WiiU. So why should Nintendo provide more of the same instead of trying something different?
