Joker's reveal trailer doesn't have an M-rating attached to it despite name-dropping Persona 5. I believe around the time of the Hero moveset presentation is when the ESRB ratings reflected higher rated games than Ultimate.
In fairness, playable Western third parties are a very, very new thing that seemed risky for this installment. Luckily it's paying off so far, though even then they haven't left the Microsoft umbrella yet.
also has gore in her games, so it boils down to bad negotiation timing/spots being taken.
Yeah, M content is definitely not an issue. Despite what some people say, Doom Slayer's move set doesn't have to have gore in it.In fairness, playable Western third parties are a very, very new thing that seemed risky for this installment.

I don't think M content would be an issue either, since
To be the Devil's Advocate for a moment, looking gritty didn't stop Slayer from getting his own Nendoroid, which is normally saved for animesque characters or cartoony mascots. So I'd say things are already looking up for him even without Ultimate being in the equation.
True but I'm not sure if this means he appeals to the Japanese fanbase. Even Nathan Drake got one and I doubt he's that popular among the Japanese fanbase.
Just wanted to point this out, but the "gore" in bayonetta isn't really squeamish - all of them just explode on death without any fanfare. Which is very much different compared to stuff like DOOM/MK where kills are explicitly graphic (head stomping, decapitation etc).In fairness, playable Western third parties are a very, very new thing that seemed risky for this installment.

Not a Terrible Idea, could work to confuse the audience.
I'm...not sure about this. I don't think it showcases what kind of series Doom is. It starts off with characters and a setting that are way too different from the Doom series and then it ends with him trying to fit in? That's just...not Doom enough. I think it should be more action packed with references to his series.
The only problem I see is the sort of details that'd be included with this small trek to Hell.
Most of the Metroid stages have a very hell-ish look to them too. Somewhat of an interesting contrast to Kid Icarus.
But why would they show that when you they could just use the usual craggy rocks and lava?The only problem I see is the sort of details that'd be included with this small trek to Hell.
Because aside from the usual craggy rocks and lava, Doom Eternal's Hell tends to have a lot of this going on:
![]()
I mainly say that since the mere existence of the flesh and blood in Doom's Hell may scare off Nintendo from having it portrayed in the trailer, to begin with.
But if Nintendo would too scared to show any parts of Doom's Hell because there are parts of it with the flesh and blood, wouldn't they also be too scared to use Doom content in general because of its 'Ultra-Violence'?
I'm not the person to argue the cynical semantics of content that'd be considered too graphic for Smash. That would be ceterisparibus' job.
To be fair the falling clock tower is a more memorable part of Bayo then Inferno, and the Nether wasn't going to be picked over a normal MC environment.
UAC ain't the only environment Doom has going for it. The Cultist, Mars, Argenta and Maykr aesthetics still stand as appropriate candidates.
Cultist and Mars (depending on what part of it) are technically UAC.
If you're craving more Doom 2 then absolutely. If not then i'd say you should probably skip it, cause it gets pretty infuriating imo.
If they're as bad as the Chasm level in Doom 2 was, then yeah, I'll probably avoid playing it
Some levels are just as bad as that level, and others are Thy Flesh Consumed bad. But there's also some really good levels in there, I'd basically describe the whole experience as a mixed-bag. Of course this is just my opinion, i'm sure there are others here who probably feel different about it.
They're not all that bad.
Yeah, the chaingunners are annoying

I'm down to seeing whether he gets a Mii costume or not.
Yeah, in general I feel in rather low spirits for anyone in my wishlist even if it's not like the XB pair was direct competition against them. I don't think there's another case of "we wanted to add a character from this game in Ultimate but we had scheduling issues" after Arms and Xenoblade (at least that was explicitly mentioned to the public), and it doesn't seem like there's any particularly big Nintendo game on the horizon to believe we'd get another "promotion" character given the pass is still ending this year, but you never know, I still dread the possibility of a gen 8 pokemon.
