New Interesting Patent from Nintendo--sorry if old

http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/nintendo-planning-friendlier-approach-to-game-difficulty/1278610

new to me and it doesnt sound bad. sometimes i get stuck in certaing ames too and i have to alt+tab and google for help / start my pc and search for help. some hints in a video format which are implemented in the game could be a way to solve that.ganga_

i read this last night on yahoo and this is beyond sad. this takes out the challenge of gaming. and people sit around and wonder why the wii cannot be considered a system for hardcore gamers.BrooklynHotBoy

they didn't have to say the pantent takes out the challenge........especially when you say it to help gamers. That in itself takes away the challenge. its pretty transparent. and even if you use the feature or not.........it's pretty sad that its even there to begin with.

and I've went through this hardcore discussion millions of times on here, the wii is not a system made for hardcore gamers, its mad for the casual and non gaming market. thats why they included such a patent to appeal to people who are not really gamers. sole wii owners continuously delude themselves into thinking the wii has any type of appeal to the hardcore market and get so defensive when someone says that its not for hardcore gamers. this discusssion happens no where else but with wii gamers and its a defense mechanism to mask the truth. so stop fooling yourself with this questions.

Why are you so negative? I think this is a brilliant way to keep difficulty in games without alienating a casual fanbase...

i agree with you that the wii is not a system MADE for core gamers.i personally do think that there are games out there which are appealing for the so-called core gamers. maybe i see it that way because for me, core gamers are people who play games since several years and spend a lot of time with it. when i read ur post i get the feeling that u define core gamers as some kind of elite and ur a part of it.

is it possible that ur just mad at the wii or what nintendo is doing with it anyways? sorry, maybe i'm just to dumb or my english is not good enought to follow ur argumentation but i dont get it why it's so terrible that they think about implementinghints for casual gamers. when u feel like a core gamer u dont have to use them - that's it. i mean everybody started as a so-called casual gamer and i bet everybody has used hints atleast once.

don't get me wrong i dont want to begin a general discussion about the wii being a hardcore system or not i just dont understand why ur so sad about the patent.

okay i just read the ign article and it does explain it better and it doesnt sound as bad of an idea like the first article makes it out to be but i probaby still wont ever use it at least not on my first run through of a game because i like the satisfaction of knowing i did it all on my ownBoxingTheStars

Umm

Isnt one of the funner things about playing video games the little bit of self accomplishment you get from figuring something out on your own?

and come on... its Wii... like theres anything THAT crazy hard to figure out in any of these games.

Thats just it. The games are simple now so that the "casual gamers" won't get frusturated.

Now with this hint system there can be (and hopefully be) somethings that are CRAZY hard to figure out
