*Sigh*. Nintendo, I weep for thee. You were king yet you made many, many, MANY mistakes. But this... just... *sigh*... I'm speechless.

Lost Levels disagrees. That game was madness, and above middle of the pack difficulty. Granted Contra, Super Ghouls&Ghosts and (possibly) Ninja Gaiden were harder, but it doesn't change the fact that this game was nails.BloodSquirrel said:

Good grief, people, you act like others getting help beating games is the end of all that's good and sacred and a slap to your face, just because you can beat it without help! I can't believe I'm resorting to 4chan terminology, but...butthurt much? Why exactly would this affect you? And why would you begrudge it of others??
Unless you think the game forces you to do this, in which case please learn to read.
I dont think this is such a big deal. Besides the Wii is mostly directed at little kids and people who generaly want to have a good time, and act a little wacky. Its not really for hardcore gamers. Its helpful, but not necessary.
Okay thats it Nintendo I know our divorce was never finalized, but now i'm signing those fucking papers
There have been a few times in a game where I wished I could just skip a boss or part of a level. But, having it done for you (via a saved game or this or what have you) kind of cheapens the experience.
It's official, they've crossed the line into "casual gaming land."
Now excuse me while I go find Pot Land.

No, no it isnt, they are not going to get into harder games, because if they can't do Mario DS Wii (the one for the DS wasnt particuarly challenging and this one is a port) they are not going to be able to do anything, and their skill won't increase because they don't actually have to think or play. So even buying the game is pointlessGladion said:How is watching a friend play a hard part in a game for you any different from watching the game play a hard part in itself?Puppet M. said:
I heard about this feature, and if they want to release it, fine by me, I (probably) won't use it - and if it helps get casual gamers more into hardcore games and thus make real games more popular, why not?
Edit: I've put some thought into this thing. I probably would use that feature, just to see wtf the crappy AI is going to dowatching stupid bots is always amazingly entertaining.
I guess it all depends on what cheapens the experience more: having to use a pre-saved game to get past a certain point, or having to give up entirely because you can't get past the part and can't reasonably devote the time to learn how to do it. I suspect "core" and "casual" gamers would have two different answers.not a zaar said:
Because if you can't even beat one game without help, than dammit, you don't deserve to play games!The Great JT said:
Right?
I can understand if it is a jump that the player wouldn't know about. Then again unless up to a certain point that disables this feature, you could essentially just sit there and watch the game beat the entire level. And I thought Mario was a lot of trial and error. Learning where invisible blocks were and such.
I would rather go to a video walkthrough to see how it is done and then keep working on it.

Ok so from what I gather
A. This was already revealed
B. This doesn't apply to me, much less anybody else here so
C. Why are you all complaining? What does it matter to you that there's a feature you won't use because you don't need to use it? I couldn't beat Mario 1 when I was three. All right? World 8 is HARD for a toddler to beat. Of course nowadays I can do it no problem so I don't need this feature and I won't use this feature and thus, I don't have to complain about it because it has nothing to do with me, much less anybody else. So it does a video walkthrough of a level. What's the big damn deal? This is all complaining merely for the sake of it, and it sickens me. So it's time for a pogrom.

If you think Mario is hard how the hell did you ever manage to play through any of the Metroid games? A strategy guide?ZeroMachine said:
What? With the exceptions of the first and kind of the second, the Metroid games are easy. And as for how I can be good at them and be bad at Mario, they require drastically different types of skills.AceDiamond said:
Yeah I refuse to believe a platformer with one objective (go from point a to point b) is so much harder than a game where you're pretty much given a boot in the ass and pointed in no particular direction. Laughable. Simply Laughable. The only skill difference in either is your ability to memorize locations (in the case of the Metroid games before maps existed) and one's ability to land on an enemy and kill them. And yes, I am going off the deep end here.ZeroMachine said:
