Thats what i thought. Its slightly effeminate, you play with ragdoll's and dress them up. I dont care if its Solid Snake or Zangeef, its dolls man.
So its definetily not casual, Mario isn't, what it is instead is something i don't care to quantify.
I will say this,and this is a lesson taught by Mario 64 and others, the levels are short and sweet. You drop in and out, pace yourself or have just one quick game. That's casual style of play certainly.
To conclude, playing with dolls is disturbing on the PS3, on the PS2 or Ninty systems not so much. This is why the PS3 users have been quite divided on this particular title.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
