Defining moment: Nintendo criticised for being too hardcore

[masschamber]

I can run through the original super mario bros in about 6 minutes (literally)
and I will say new super mario bros wii, is hard, honest to goodness, delivers a feeling I haven't felt in years hard, My brother and I have played through the first 2 worlds co-op, by level 1-6 I was already feeling challenged by the level design , carefully landed jumps between paranah plants, legions of cheapcheaps, deadly pits beneath small moving platforms all with flying enemies, and borrowing from castlevania, evil crushing gears yes it is beautiful
frankly I'll tell you why the guide isn't in co-op, if you die, you respawn and players will be able to eventually push their way through the hardest levels on co-op as long as 1 player lives
