i personally feel that the basic idea is good ,but instead the player continuing the game , the game could take over show the player what to do ,and then rewind ,and let the player take it from there

SUPER LAME.

oh so this demo play if for help? I just thought it was a download service to demo games like they do on the 360 and PS3 i did not know it was to help you. Why do you need help on Mario bros? It's it straight forward what to do? :-p

I totally agree with you, What kind of life lesson will this teach kids, if something is too tough or if you do not like something have someone do it for you. That is cheap and wrong. I am the type that HAS to do it myself, when friends or family visit i will create a save game for them so they do not do puzzle or levels i have not been able to do so i can figure out a way to do it myself. When you spend hours trying and get frustrated it's a big sigh of relief and joy to say HA i did it i win :-)

Awesome job brilliant article

That's a good idea, show the player how to beat the tough part and then expect him/her to complete the level themselves. It could theoretically show the player how to become a better player if implemented right. I personally think this is unnecessary for Nintendo to do, because their games have been easy for a long time. What were their last "hard" games?, Mach Rider (1985), Super Mario Bros 2 (1986, Japanese version), Wrecking Crew (1985), The bonus levels from Yoshi's Island (1995, SNES version) and a few others.

@ PhoenixxxAZ1974 - I'm the same way. I create separate profiles, saves, etc. I want to get the achievements myself not from someone else doing it. Otherwise it's not MY gamerscore or MY accomplishment. And I totally agree with the statement you made about children. It is wrong to show them if you are unable to do something, just have someone else do it. It takes away from them learning how to do things for themselves, and in actuality will also set them back. Plus who's to say they wont try it in other venues, such as school.

@ codenamewtf - I agree completely, I think it would have been better to give tips or directions on what your suppose to do rather than doing it for them.

I kinda feel like this is just another attempt on the behalf of Nintendo to take all the skills video games once required and rather make the games for "everyone" and easy as hell. I get that they are trying to pander to a much more casual audience but not letting even these people try to beat it defeats the purpose. Bad call IMO.

all i need is GameFAQS and I'm set. like today i was stuck on Ghostbusters but FAQS didn't have anything up yet but i eventually figured it out after a few frustrating hours.
