Who cares...? It's a option for little kids, they're not forcing anyone to use it.
Well it was 33 posts in but someone FINALLY said it.
Ahh but what is this teaching said kids? That if something is too hard get someone else to do it for you? Cuz it sure in hell ain't teaching kids what they should be learning. Stuff like taking pride in what you are doing. Or that the harder it is the more rewarding it is. Oh thats right I forgot kids are to delicate and must be kept in a bubble til they turn 18 and then throw them to the wolves. PATHETIC!!!!! God I hope I don't live long enough that I have to rely on the next generation to care for my sorry old man ass.
Sigh, gaming's primary output is entertainment and fun. Ask yourselfs when you were young when you had troubles with a certain level and gave up. Nintendo have seen this and are working on a solution, its what we call innovation.
If you don't like it fair enough, Reggie isnt there with a knife forcing you too use the option or even buy the bloody game. I love how this one simple idea that helps out the lesser skilled gamers causes such a hoo haa with the "hardcore" crowd.
Never thought i would have to use it, but people ITS A VIDEO GAME!!!
Soccer,baseball and hide & seek are just games to. Is it ok for a kid to call in an experienced player because they are losing? They too are just games afterall. Oh look JR. is up to bat. He has struck out everytime at bat this season. Oh whats this? Joe DiMaggio is coming out to the plate. There is the pitch and it is a homerun. JR. has just won the game. The crowd goes wild. Now how is that any different than this besides the fact one game you use a controller and a TV to play?
As a gamer I think it would be awesome. I can't tell you the amount of times I have wasted 60 bucks because I got stuck at 1 little part and the game went on the shelf to collect dust. It wouldn't feel as good as it does when I do the "impossible" and would leave me feeling the same way when I have used a cheat code. Prolly worse even since I am still at least playing.
As a parent I am disgusted and my child will never have anything like this. The whole "it is just a game" doesn't fly with me and is counterproductive to say the least. If you want respect as an industry you can't throw that back when the going gets tough. Games hold alot of value for a developing mind. Improve hand eye co ordination, problem solving and reading skills. For Nintendo the only console who seems to be focused on the younger crowd to turn around and pull this is just stupid and pointless. Why not encourage family time instead. Kid having problems? Ask you mom or dad to help you. At least then there is a chance for the kid to learn where they were going wrong because there is someone there to teach them. Not to do it for them.
