Topic: Why does ever single Nintendo game.

Nowadays have to have some "auto win" feature, Mario has the God power up when you die enough, DKC has Super Kong to win for you, Zelda has the option for the game to just tell you what to do next, seriously why cant Nintendo make some games where there's no easy way out? Have they ever done one of the Wii U?

Actually Super Kong was removed completely in DKC Tropical Freeze.

I mean, if people want to just let the game play itself, and it's included as an option, I'm totally okay with that.

Different strokes for different folks really. Some people like to play business sims like Rollercoaster Tycoon in Sandbox mode, focusing on the building itself. I always saw that as a cop out, as it removes the challenges of space and money management.

wow, these threads feel like broken records haha

I don't see the big problem. All of those features are completely optional.

I'm sorry did someone put a gun to your head and force you to use them......... no then why is it even a problem? I have never used any of the help items does that mean I feel they shouldn't be there to ease frustration for little kids and people who just want to make it to the end of the game of cause not.

They make beating the game pointless because it's not an accomplishment, anyone can just abuse the win feature and get to the end.

But how does that affect you though?

You don't like the "pity power-up"? Don't pick it up then, if other people choose the easy way out and cheapen their victory, that's on them really...

I have more of a problem with games that are difficult for the sake of being difficult and aren't fun in the way they do it. You've gotta remember that back in the 90s games cost more than they do now, especially when you take into account sales and inflation. I remember when I was a kid I used to only get a couple of games a year and that'd be pretty much it for entertainment. No internets remember? So games HAD to be challenging as a way to keep them interesting.

These days you get more content than that for basically nothing over the 'nets. Even on Nintendo's platform now there's not a week that goes by where some game gets a pretty heavy discount. Back in the day if a game with a limited early run didn't sell? You'd probably never even know it existed. These days it'll be on the front page of the store for $10. So there's no way anyone can really be short of content to the extend that some kids in the 90s were.

........ if some cheap way of getting through the game exists? Well ignore it if you don't like it. But "easier" and "less cheap" games in general means that it's easier to beat games and move onto the next. That's not that bad a thing. Especially if I'm starting to lose interest in the game and we all have armfuls of story driven games to play through.

If you're playing the gane so soley to beat it then yes, but most people play games to enjoy the experience so the "auto-win" feature doesn't ruin the game but merely lets you skip the part that frustrates you. There's enough Ninty games like Fire Emblem, Pokemon etc that doesn't have that feature.

All you do is make treads about how much Nintendo sucks. If you hate Nintendo why are you even here?

Why does this effect you?

Guy it just breaks the feel of going on an epic journey when I can just auto win at any point effortlessly.

I'm sorry that really is a silly reason.

Almost as silly as having th feature in the first place!
How am I supposed to show off my baddonkey save file if people know I might have just cheated?

No it is way more silly and at least in Mario games you can't get 5 star shiny profiles if you use the feature.

And because of it the difficulty was reduced sadly.

It would be less annoying if there was no sound associated with it. (Maybe they could explain it the first time with some text).

Maybe we should all just ignore these threads now?
Like seriously dude, stop. This is getting really annoying now, just make a gigantic "Everything Wrong with Nintendo" thread and be done with it.
