https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BvetoA53MU  If I say I'm fine with Nintendo being 100% family friendly.. I feel like Reek from GoT. I'm not fine with it.

Metroid sequels. New fighting game perhaps. I'd like a western a kin to Red Dead Redemption. Did you know that when Rockstar San Diego was called Angel Studios, they were a Nintendo 2nd party? Even Retro Studios was made up of the Iguana team that created Turok..  I'm a believer that mature content is fine in a family setting as long as it's a fantasy setting (i.e. pirates, ninjas, cowboys, dinosaurs).

I tend to agree; there's nothing inherently wrong with E-rated games, but since that's pretty much all Nintendo make, their output lacks variety.

That's why Metroid was such an important series, it spiced up an otherwise homogenous first party lineup. Sadly, if they made a Metroid for Switch, I'm willing to bet they'd make it some cartoony BS.

Yeah E-rated games are some of the very best. But there needs balance. I definitely would not have bought Wii U at launch if not for ZombiU. People hated on that game but it was the closest thing to a proper metroid that I could ever realistically hope for. You gained powers, retraversed, was lonely, paid severe penalty for dying, scanned for items, accessed previously locked areas, there's even a scant amount of, well placed, platforming. Items/abilities varied but the concept shared striking similarities. I'm not going to pretend to be hopeful this on switch. But I'll remain discontent until there is.
