Look, I get being inclusive and welcoming to new gamers and I'd have nothing against an optional easy mode in DK.
Just, please don't mess with the standard mode.

Look, I'm not a very good gamer. I spent lots of time on DK TP because I'm not an 'expert' gamer. Some of the challenge stages must have taken me over 40 tries to complete. But the game never, not once felt unfair to me. Every single time I died, I knew it was on me, because of how tight and responsive and fast the controls are. DK is not an easy game but it's always fair and I love that kind of game design.

NSBU just pisses me off with how slow and slippery Mario is. I'm not sure why they made his walk unbearably slow compared to the retro 2D games, but it's annoying as fuck. You basically have to to have the run button on lock to get anywhere and the fact that they keep it as a face button and give you no option to remap it is annoying as well. I keep wrestling with the conrols on that one and it's just not fun. Sorry, NSBU rant over./
