Donkey Kong
No NSMB please.
PLEASE don't give Rosalina or Waluigi a game of their own!
New Super Mario
Ghirahim
Please none of this NFP stuff from Nintendo.... Ugh
I don't really have any games I don't want to be made. Like, if it's something I don't like or care about I'm just not going to buy the game, but there might be other people who are into that stuff and I'd have to be a major dick to actively wish disappointment onto them. It's kind of an asshat move.
The sole exception would be a new entry to a series I like, and that entry going out of its way to shit on everything the series as a whole has ever stood for. I'd greatly prefer that not happening.

Purple Yoshi

A new yearly franchise. Info on Watch_Dogs 2 or some sequel to a good game that just came out. HD remakes of games that don't need it.
EDIT: Oh, and another 2D Mario. Heck, I don't really want another new Mario platformer this year. Let's stagger out the releases, keep people hyped.

Depends. Would that be a game that shits on everything other m stood for? Because that might actually be kinda neat.

C'mon, Other M wasn't that bad. It had some solid gameplay, environments, and enemies; I don't understand all the hate.

Examples? You can PM them if you want. I'm actually curious.
I'm not saying the game was great, but I don't think it deserves to be so maligned either.

No it didn't. What it did was characterize Samus as someone content with following orders when everyone knew she could realistically disobey them with impunity. It really did nothing to the series's storyline other than explain why Nightmare and Ridley are in Fusion.
Amphituber
King Bowser
Aaah. That makes sense.

DID SOMEBODY SAY "SUE"?!
Her following orders isn't one of the problems I have with it. Although, expanding on it, Samus apparently can't keep track of how many times she's been taking orders from the Federation. In the beginning of Fusion, Samus quite clearly states that this is the second time she was taking orders. Other M, however, makes three.
Of course, I guess Corruption could make 4, so meh, take that with a grain of salt.

One of those problems wouldn't be the Ridley confrontation, would it?

Honestly? I'd like a new Valve IP. Half-Life 3 has been so built up and hyped for years that there is no way it isn't going to be a colossal disappointment. (although likely a later "cult hit")

In a way.
I get the whole PTSD angle. I think it's a viable character aspect. The problem is that the PTSD storyline was already done in the manga-she was shocked at Ridley, got over it, blasted him into pieces, onto Mother Brain.
So, when Ridley has already come back and been blasted 4 times after she's overcome her PTSD, why would it all of a sudden surface again the 5th time? Is it really such a surprise?

You mean it characterized Samus as someone who cannot form independent thoughts, but has to confirm everything she thinks and does with the ideals of a man she has an unhealthy obsession with.
A man who watches her burn alive while she runs through super-heated areas without the protection from her Varia suit upgrade, not wasting a moment allowing her to protect herself because Samus is incapable of making the decision to save her own life autonomously.
A man who constantly treats Samus like shit even though she does her utmost to follow every inane order he gives, never disobeying him, never failing him, and never doubting him.
And most glaringly, a man who has the fucking audacity to shoot Samus in the back and knocks her unconscious, while a live Metroid that could be invincible is hovering directly above her! And the game plays this guy as a hero. It wants the players to like him. To root for him. To agree with him that this was a valid course of action.
Adam sure is lucky that dinky freeze gun of his worked on that Metroid. It had been previously established that those particular Metroids were resistant to cold. It would have been very plausible for the gun to fail. And had that happened, Adam's stunt would have killed Samus. And that's not even going into how that act is deplorable by itself already.
Like, really, I'm not even that big of a Metroid fan, and that scene absolutely disgusts me. It's basically the culmination of the story of a guy with an ego problem, physically and mentally abusing a woman who idolizes him because she, in his eyes, disrespected him. And the worst thing about it is that the game doesn't even question this for even an instant. He is celebrated as a hero for shooting someone in the back who trusted him and would never have willingly disobeyed him. I still to this day cannot believe that this scene is part of a good video game series. I don't like to get angry at video games, but this scene, this atrocious piece of shit, makes me absolutely livid. Especially considering how Samus used to be such a respectable icon for independence, competence, and gender equality.
No one should defend something like that. It's fine if you enjoy the gameplay or whatever, but don't defend this scene. It is disgusting.

Also, that.
Seriously, everything before Other M characterizes Adam as a respectful, caring, reasonable CO. And then we got an abusive jack*bleep*.
Speaking of Metroids-if Samus ran into a Metroid cloning program on the Bottle Ship, why the *bleep* would she be surprised the Federation did it again in Fusion?

1) I would imagine that the manga is something with which the majority of the fanbase is unfamiliar, so they wouldn't know it was already done.
2) This time was different. Ridley's been rebuilt by the Space Pirates, which want her dead, and indirectly infected by Phazon by a Metroid, which wants her dead. However, chronologically by canon, the last game in which Ridley appeared was Super. He was defeated on Zebes. Zebes exploded. Ridley is on the Bottle Ship because the Federation took his DNA from Samus's suit and cloned him. Because there aren't two Ridleys as far as we know (excluding the mechanical prototype in Zero Mission), that means he died on Zebes, which makes his sudden (to her) appearance on a Federation-owned ship in the middle of nowhere rather surprising (whereas Ridley-X isn't surprising because Ridley's corpse disappears from the Bottle Ship).

My guess is that she thought the Federation wouldn't be dumb enough to try again.
