explain to me how the second part of that statement means nintendo is changing games for the worse???

Nintendo doesn't encourage it. They just don't stop it from happening.

Two different concepts.

Why is Nintendo slowly stabbing knives into their old fans that followed them up from the NES or even the N64.

I don't think anyone minds that they make casual games, but don't go taking away what your more loyal fans love and the reason they followed you.

Metroid and Zelda will still be there...

They'll just be easy.

Did any of you read the entire quote? He's almost assuredly trying to say that he wants his games to be easy to learn, not easy to finish. He even cites Super Mario Galaxy as a game that perfectly emphasizes this line of thinking.


edit- tah-dah!

“The fact is, I don’t think there is such a wall between both audiences (casual and core). While there are indeed games designed for core and casual markets, core users are also enjoying casual gaming. It is very hard to tune the difficulty just for the core market. Even for us, we would still have difficulty finding the right balance. But I think the future is games that are not difficult and yet very fun to play. There is no point in making a difficulty level the fun factor of a game. What I mean is that there is no point in making a difficulty level the fun factor of a game. We are making Super Mario Galaxy as a new and fun experience which aims at providing a very appealing, convincing and—before all—fun experience. If we managed to do so, then I’m sure even the core gamers will find it appealing. We need to release more games which feel like games. It is important that people who are playing them feel that the games are indeed fun to play… Now there is this concept I always focus on, which is you have to feel the fun of a game by only trying it, and that concerns Super Mario Galaxy, of course. Should it be fun by only playing it a short time, this indicates already it has a big value as a product… It is very important that the full fun of the game is being felt in the first stage 1-1.” - Shigeru Miyamoto

You admit your argument is hypocritical, then.

By the way, use the quote button. Very helpful, it are.

Two different concepts.

The runaway success of Wii Sports, WarioWare, Mario Party, and Super Paper Mario demonstrate to developers that on Wii, short/shallow games = MASSIVE PROFIT.

You'll have your few regular franchises (Metroid, Zelda, Mario, etc) but they will be more casual. Sounds kind of lame to me.

But if you read what Waa Waa Wii Waa said they basically are suppose to be easy to learn, hard to beat. Meaning, he wants them to be addictive.


There you have it. Nintendo wants everyone to be wiid.
