To answer the title... I did. 15 years ago.

It's general trend in the industry, that games are getting easier every generation. It's called expanding the market. Anyway it's not just Nintendo, but nice to see that someone at Shigerus position have guts to say it.
In practice, this means more focus on online multiplayer (reason why i don't fancy that much online multiplayer amped to every game). But this is what the industrys core audience (the so called casual gamer) wants. The point is, that single player mode don't mean the same thing as they used to, campaign mode starts being more like a tutorial for online play.

But let's wait and see, Nintendo has always been a master in developing games, that are easy to access and easy to play, but when you want to play the game 100% through, that has turned out to be really hardcore.

Yeah I agree here.  The old hard games have been gone for a long time now.  The challenge level in games now a days is laughable in comparison to how it used to be.
