New Super Mario Bros. 2 was 2,5hrs for me, NSMBU were five. I'm really fine with eight hours, especially since I doubt eight hours is the time for 100% completition.

Nintendo isn't interested in skilled gamers. Iwata basically just said so himself. If you're a skilled core gamer, according to him, you probably shouldn't be looking to Nintendo anymore for your gaming fix unless you don't mind easy games without much challenge.

no no it isnt, not even close. YOu can play through a any platformer game and not get eveything, hell statistically most people do that. Just cause you dont get the choas emeralds, coins or whatever doenst mean you rushed through a game. How can you say he rushed through the game in 8 hours if he never even played th game? makes no sense.

You don't need to have played the game before to rush through it. I rush through a lot of games the first time I play... To see the story first. I come back to it after that to get more out of my 60 bucks. ¬_¬

Keep on arging for the sake of arguing.

fair enough, dont know why a person would sink 60 bucks but to each his own. I forget about youtube and walkthroughs.

I guess New Super Luigi U, Kid Icarus Uprising, Wonderful101 and Fire Emblem: Awakening have been a dream then. Got it.

Hey, Iwata is the one who said that Nintendo isn't after skilled gamers, not me. But out of those games you mentioned, which one was hard? I have played them, and none of them would I describe as "hard". Super Meat Boy? Beating THAT, is hard. The first Contra without the Konami code? Now THAT'S hard. New Super Luigi? For a child of the 80's, who grew up on the original NES titles, it's a cake walk.

Nintendo is after first time players and kids these days. That's why Iwata said what he said. They want all of their games to be as accessible as possible.

Play Fire Emblem Awakening on Lunatic, W101 on hard and Kid Icarus Uprising on 9.0 and then come back and tell me with a straight face those games weren't hard.

)You didn't play any of them, did you?

It was during a media briefing about the PS4 and Xbone launches.

Did the first Kid Icarus have a difficulty setting? Metroid? Zelda? Mario? Contra?Ninja Gaiden 1-3? Because I'm pretty sure having to cheaply impliment a difficulty setting is basically saying that the "normal" mode is too easy.
