I'm a big Nintendo fan and truth be told, I've never really been in to first person shooters.
There are, however, two main exceptions - Goldeneye & Perfect Dark.
I loved these games so much. The secret agent and stealth aspects, the mission structure and how this changed depending on difficulty, as well as of course the split screen multiplayer.
Ever since those days I've always felt a small hole in Nintendo's library. Me and my friends still gather to play the likes of Mario Kart, Smash, Bomberman, Street Fighter & Fifa/PES but back in the day, we had the 4 player split screen of GE & PD added to that list as well.
In my head I always imagined that maybe Retro would develop a spiritual sequel to the classic Rare games to fill that void with a robust single player mode and online multiplayer with both single and 4 player split screen options.
One of the bigger selling points would be the return of a local 4 player split screen mode. Imagine how well that would go down on TV ads showing off the Switch? I think we've reached a point over 20 years on from GE where people would get a huge nostalgia overload, and it would really sell the local multiplayer aspect of the Switch Nintendo love to show so much.
A reason I've never been into other FPS games so much is that I've never really been into the dual analogue control set up. I'm left handed and my right thumb is so slow and inaccurate when it comes to using the right analogue stick - not really an issue with smash attacks or camera control in a game like Zelda. Goldeneye & Perfect Dark never presented this problem of course. Neither did the Metroid Prime games because the first one was a mainly single stick affair and the third game used the Wii remote as a pointer, which I found a lot easier (faster and more accurate) to use than a second analogue stick.
I must admit that the introduction of gyro control in Doom and Wolvenstein has me intrigued about those sorts of games for the first time, but of course, it's that stealth element, mission structure and mainly 4 player local multiplayer I really want to see brought back to the FPS table by Nintendo - with gyro control options of course!
Edit - Please don't turn this into an is Metroid Prime a FPS game or not discussion.
