Future Nintendo Titles to 'Play Themselves'

Future Nintendo Titles to 'Play Themselves'

Lately, Nintendo has been coming up with some interesting and slightly weird ideas, most notably the Wii Vitality Sensor, but their newest idea cuts the cake.
Nintendo has recently decided to basically create games that will cheat for you!

It has been confirmed that Nintendo will be incorporating a new feature called "Demo Play" (tentative name) into future Wii games, the first of them being The New Super Mario Bros Wii.
What the feature does is when you pause the game, and the game takes over to complete the level on its own, and you can resume playing at any time from where the game got up to.

In an exclusive interview Shigeru Miyamoto explained that the new feature will help new or younger players get past the challenging barriers that game game puts before them – without purchasing a strategy guide or resorting to websites that list cheat codes.

“In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, if a player is experiencing an area of difficulty, this will allow them to clear troubled areas and take over when they’re ready” confirmed Miyamoto, through his translator. “And yes, we’re looking into this for future games, too” Miyamoto says.

In my opinion, I don't think that this is the best decision Nintendo's made.

This is sooo bad. Admittedly we don't have to actually use it, but everyone knows the young AdHd afflicted types will cheat their sorry @rses off.

Reminds me of my young nieces and nephews who come over and play my Wii. They always get stuck and plead for me to help them get past a certain bit.
I always tell them.....I didn't have a game savvy uncle when I was your age and I managed to do just fine...figure it out guys.

Hmm..it is still our option to use it or not. So the 'hardcore' gamers don't have to use it. But I think it is a good idea for the young ones playing games. Finding it too hard to play a certain part.

Nice one Nintendo, making sure your games are even more playable to everyone.

But they didn't say anything about it being able to be disabled........although I'm sure they would. And how would you switch it off without having to pause and missing a part because you had to pause to switch it off?

Doesn't it just show you the way? It doesn't actually finish the game for you? I would bet that it would be optional, or you could never pause your game without having the game finish itself.

I'd say so. Once you press pause, you can select Finish this game for me mode.

Also, it probably is Cheery, it ran out of power for online, and that power probably went to this system.

I bet its just a speed run version of the level that's under "demo play". Sure it will finish the level for you but getting every secret, coin and unlockable will be up tot the player

This would be ok, IF you are given the option of having it on or of.

The reason I say this is because I have a friend who has a mentally retarded daughter, she loves playing my games, but she isn't able to get through the trickier parts. With something like this, her parents could sit her down with a game and let her play through without having to get up every couple of minutes to get her past the bit she's stuck on.

For that kind of market, I think something like this would be brilliant.

How do you expect new gamers to become good with a feature that holds you hand and wins for you, to get better, you need PRACTICE, which would be impossible by relying on this.

It doesn't hold your hand and do it for you, it guides you through it and HELPS you. Big difference. It's like a teacher: they show you how to do stuff, but that doesn't mean they do everything for you.

From what I have read that’s exactly what it does. It’s not a help section or tutorial. It just beats the game for you. It doesn’t help you along. If you want something like that go to the help section or read the tips that pop up, they are on most games.

But I do think we need to find out more information before we say that it is going to be totally bad.
