On a related note, none of you can deny the fact that Nintendo needs a new series/franchise of SOME SORT.

I've got an idea. It's set in a country where the absolute monarchy was recently overthrown by a popular revolution. Everybody (with few enough exceptions to count on your hands) seems to whole-heartedly embrace the new government. The player character is the old regime's former chief of secret police, complete with a stalinesque mustache. You're one of very few people still loyal to the exiled crown princess, last of her line. Together with your brother, you reinstate the monarchy by repeatedly stomping on people's faces with iron-shod jackboots.

....wait a minute.

Will it be a third-person action game illogically littered with chest-high walls? Will it have a scrappy vehicle section? Will your health regenerate while behind aforementioned chest-high walls? Will you hire pop culture heroes for voice acting to disguise the pulpy and insubstantially written dialogue? Will all the bosses be fought using quicktime events?

If so, this could totally be the next AAA breakout hit.

I'll consider it, but I was planning on a system where there are about 4 different maps recycled endlessly, with some doors sealed off and you entering from a different direction each time so that it at least takes you a few seconds to realize you've already been here. Plus a morally grey conflict between two sides who both more or less continuously channel Hitler. And no ending.

I like where all this is heading

You will also need quick-time events to make it popular:
In one cut-scene you are getting out of a car at your base, and to successfully open the door you have to swing the wiimote at just the right angle, otherwise your character ends up putting hit head through the window and dying from the lacerations (except in the German release, where there will be no blood, and so the character will die for no apparent reason).

Also picking up ammuntition will require pointing at the correct pixel on an enemies dropped weapon and playing the ammo strip minigame which lasts around an hour for the higher-level weapon (but to be really successful it will be possible to complete the game using nothing other than your starting weapon, for which you can get ammunition by talking to any friendly or neutral character)

Finally, any action you take against the new order will result in the new secret police looking for you, but if you hide out they will forget about you in one minute

Starting to wonder if his handle should be taken as a verb instead of a noun.... as in, log onto HLP and start Flaming Cobra.

Hey, hey, HEY!

* Cobra points at his name

Watch where you're aiming, k?

Also this thread makes me lul. But I have a question. Hypothetically, say I killed FlamingCobra... would that count as a form of suicide?

EDIT:

*****, **** that. I'll go all Jedi up on their bums and Jedi Mind Trick 'em. "This ain't the convict you're looking for."

No. As it would only kill the flames, it's more like self-protection, really.

So many people... didn't get the joke...

[Sushi]

I am now thoroughly confused.

[General Battuta]

MARIO IS THE JOKE

MARIO IS THE JOKE

That's what I thought based on LordPomposity's first post (which was awesome), but the "additions" afterward threw me for a loop.

[deathfun]

I understood the joke, but I liked where it was headed after the fact

[mxlm]

I'm not a furfag.

That more your speed?

This thread should be killed with fire.

[TwentyPercentCooler]

I was thinking more along the lines of Exterminatus.

[BritishShivans]

No, destroy the galaxy it is in. As in blow it up. 

[deathfun]

I just killed the Omega Pirate
Yaaayyy....

[FlamingCobra]

<insert kill it with fire here>

I wanted to post that but I figured I'd end up getting more criticism. So I used my better judgement and did not.
