    You mean to tell me that Nintendo don’t want their kid friendly mascot waving guns around.

    I don’t know, sounds an awful lot like 1984.

      Mario + Rabbids

      And let’s not pretend that Pokemon isn’t a glorification of actually fighting to solve things and go up the ladder…

        There’s a bit of a tonal difference between an unrealistic, brightly coloured cartoony hand cannon not unlike mega man and an AK47. Just saying.

        The thing is, Nintendo puts a hell of a lot of effort into pretending exactly this. Not to mention the similarities to IRL various animal fighting tournaments that are absolutely fucking barbaric.

        edit: changed comparison slightly. The Rabbids guns are even more cartoony than I remembered.
