Miyamoto: Nintendo Still Hardcore-Friendly

[FreeTalkLive]

Super Mario Galaxy:
Yes, awesome game. Yes, definitely a revival of a dead genre. But in all honesty, I consider this to be the most borderline of all of Nintendo's big releases thus far. Okay Mario was never about a gritty story or mature themes, my issue is difficulty. It's not hard to beat this game, it's not even hard to hit 100 stars, 120 it gets a little tougher but nothing like certain Mario 64 stars.

 You are only talking about half the game.  You could also argue that the original Zelda was an easy game because the first half is easy.  But that arguement seems insane to me. Also, Zelda TP is a long game, maybe it would take 60 hours for a casual.  I cannot put 60 hours for the quest and casual together, it would cause my brain to explode.
