This is exciting. It makes me think that the Big N is actually listening to its players. I want to fail! I want to be forced to consider chucking my remote at the TV. Difficulty is what makes me come back, and with the recent flux of shovel-ware for the Wii, this is a welcome change of pace.

I'd be surprised if there are any hardcore gamers left period.
They died off with the arcades.

I am not sure if it really is a change of pace, at least in the realm of non-3D titles. It is possible to be bad at Wii sports, I am living proof of this claim.

Well, the Nintendo Hard [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NintendoHard] trope IS named after the aforementioned company for a reason, I suppose...
Damn you. I clicked on the link, and BAM I've been browsing Tropes for hours.

Really? I was under the impression that there are millions of us left.

I am super happy to hear about this new Mario Bros as I am getting a Wii for kid this Christmas. I loves me some 2d Mario Bros!
I mean a real hardcore gamer. The ones who polish off Ikaruga and Contra in their spare time and devotes a chunk of their lives to clearing every facet of Final Fantasy X and every game they own. Not everyone is a hardcore gamer.

That too. And save states are for weaklings.

another mario game that is exactly the same as the others ONLY WITH A HELP FEATURE...... yay
Yes every Mario game allowed for 4-players playing simultaneously. Every single one. Yep.

Definetely.

Mhmmm.

In other news, I and others again remain triumphant against the vast dearth of idiocy that claimed Nintendo was going to ruin gaming with a completely optional feature.
We've been saying this for how long now? And people still cried foul until someone actually explained how the thing works and now they've piped down a bit. People love to *****, they really do.

Me thinks he means hard...for wii owners

It doesn't look that bad to me and in other videos of the new Mario game it looked relatively easy too

Ooh yeah, this looks like it could be the best 2D platformer EVER, a nice throwback to the times where a game's lastability was based in the fact that it was FUCKING HARD! Beautiful, man, simply beautiful.

Was that the gameplay? Yeesh, doesn't look that hard.
No that's the trailer from months ago, it isn't actual footage from the press event. I would actually like to see this hardcode version in action too.

As a person who has been gaming for 20 years and owns a Wii I demand you take that back. Actually you will take that back because I am getting fed up with people who seek to denigrate a console's entire user base just because it appeals to more than just a bunch of frat boys, and people who use labels like "hardcore" and "casual" as a way of demeaning people.

Well yeah that's true, I just hate it when people seek to perpetuate a lie even when they know it's false simply because they have nothing better to do than raise the ire of people on the Internet. And since some people still haven't quite figured it out yet despite having the information literally a Google search away, well...you can see how one could get a bit aggrivated.

This is gonna cause many arguments with me and my friends, I just know it. It sounds like it'll worse than Streets of Rage where you accidently throw the other guy into the hole. I can't wait!

Looks interesting but a thought has suddenly hit me: Why were Valve criticised so much for making a game that's 'hardly any different' than it's predecessor(sp?) when Nintendo have been pretty much making the same game since the 90s?

Hmm. Well Wicked Hard does a terrible job at quantifying the difficulty. Is it like Splinter Cell hard, FarCry hard, Ninja Gaiden hard, or ROM-Hack hard?

Okay while there are some difficult games out there, the majority (in my experience) I have found too easy. I hope they prove me wrong because I find the entire console war pathetic and childish and also the stereotypes...Don't even get me started on them. I want every single console to be enjoyed to the maximum possibility, I actually got angry at Microsoft when they bought the rights for the fallout dlc

Plus why will I take it back? It's my opinion, I can say whatever dumb thing I want because it's MY OPINION

Also for the record I game on my pc, 360 and wii

It's about damn time. I don't need games to be Contra hard, but NSMB on the DS was too easy. SMW was hard in its time, but I know it too well, so it doesn't present me a challenge anymore.

P.S. Thanks
