Miyamoto is an overrated hack past his prime, just like Sakaguchi.
Sure they made extreme ownage back then, but like I said, past their prime.

HELL NO!!!

Easy games are fun now and again.. but I want things that challenge me. Seriously, challenging games incourage thought, and problemsolving. Easy games.. are mindless.... numbing..

if they want to make all games go that way I am getting rid of my Wii and telling Nintendo to shove it up their pokeass

this thread has a dim future.

I believe what he was going for was the whole 'easy to play, difficult to master' approach to gaming.

You know, the way Nintendo has pretty much been running since the NES.

I posted it to encourage discourse, not to start wars.

That's just icing.

whatever, I'm an Xbot (or whatever) next gen, probably. They won't have SSBB to save them that time.
