IMO because this feature is for the Wii just makes me see the Wii as even more kiddish. Sorry not trying to offend any Wii owners, but thats just how i see it.

we understand. Once it makes it on the HD consoles it will be hardcore, but Nintendo will be first as usual




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I think Nintendo has got it wrong. It's not the difficulcy that is the problem, it's the LEARNING CURVE. Hell I got into games because of the most Hardcore (by the definition that the game has many hardcore players and tournaments etc) and difficult game ever, Starcraft. How could I play this game as a kid with no experience of games? It's really easy to learn, like most Blizzard games, but then becomes more complex.

Good games are easy to learn but hard to master. Nintendo games used to be like this too, but sadly it seems like that's changing.

 

How exactly?  This in no way effects how hard the game is to master.

Mario Kart Wii is one of those games where the Easy to learn hard to master concept has taken a hit. The same concept in Twilight princess has also taken damage if you compare it to Wind Waker.

About the New Super Mario Bros, I was under the impression that the game would play itself, but now that I have read the thread, that might not be the case.

I think this is just the hardcorez getting scared. This feature allows the casuals to play the hardcorez.

How can they be hardcorez if the casuals are playing the same hardcorez games?

Oh no! The Hardcorez-Casual continuum is imploding.

not to troll or anything, just being dramatic really...

There will always be people to say Nintendo is the best videogame company, even when, one day, all they make are movies and coloring books.

Yay! The term Hardcore by the definition used by many today needs to die out anyway.

We don't even know the whole story yet. I would wait before passing judgment.

Nintendo is going to allow bots, so what?

Sky-net has become self-aware from Microsoft, now Nintendo!!!

Now that's out of the way..,
I don't really care about this feature, it's an option isn't it? So was Nintendo Power back in the day, Tips and Trick, VG mags, G4's Cheats and the Internet...

You are going to have to elaborate on the MK Wii and Twilight Princess thing for me.  I still think that easy to learn hard to master concept still applies to Nintendo games.
