Nintendo's frustration with 3D Mario

[Purple Yoshi]

Apparently so. It's so sad.

Yeah, how dare people not be extremely hardcore master gamers.

Seriously, not everyone is good at video games. Nintendo's not gonna make intense platformer for the fanboys who cry for the days of the NES era. Ninetndo's target demographic is little kids, they know that's what makes money so that's who they're gonna sell to.

That excuse never really made sense to me, though, because weren't the original NES games also engineered for young children?

If kids in the 80's can battle through tough games, why can't kids in the 10's?

Because

1. The games were very short, so they way they made the games last was to make them incredibly difficult to complete
2. The basis for many games were arcade games, which were purposely hard so people would keep putting money in to replay them

Now, obviously, none of this needs to apply.

Does this mean Super Mario 3D World is going to be cancelled?

 

[Weasel]

No, I don't think Nintendo would pull a Capcom on us.

The Wii U sales are already effed up, if they cancelled Super Mario 3D World, not only will they lose heavy sales but they'll lose respect of their audience
