While I am clearly a huge Nintendo fan, I think the attention this game is getting is well deserved. While it is not an FPS, it can be considered a shooter. It is a completely new take on it and it just looks like out-right fun. I agree that it is getting perhaps more attention as a Nintendo exclusive because Nintendo polishes every last detail in their games and now everyone wishes they had this on their console lol.
But for real. I am a huge PC gamer as well and I am just tired of the same old "mature" or "hardcore" shooters. I am in the Hardline Beta and after 15 minutes, I am completely bored with the game and definitely will not be getting it. I stopped playing CoD years ago. Destiny looks interesting but still not wowing me. The only other game that really wowed me outside of Nintendo was Ubisoft's The Divison - and that was shown off last year.
The genre is stale as can be and it needs what Nintendo does best - innovation. Add to that the fact that the game is accessible to all because it is not going to be rated M and you have a recipe for an instant winner. Nintendo will prove yet again that you do not have to fit a cookie-cutter mold to have fun.
