- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.
