Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Is Confident Mario Will Be Around For "A Long Time To Come"

@dudujencarelli I'm not into hardcore difficulty kaizo style, but I think Mario World had a higher difficulty than modern Mario games. Tropical Freeze was tough but fair, and Yoshi's games have zero challenge nowadays. The first Yoshi's Island was a nice challenge, but the series went more and more kiddy from there. Not bad if it's an option, but a classical 16 bit challenge would be nice. I really enjoyed Tropical Freeze, The Messenger and Prince of Persia the Lost Crown and I'd really love a Nintendo game with that challenge today.

I think Nintendo is among the best people in retaining high levels of quality through the years. The volume of their games, specially Zelda and Mario, that are truly great and polished is enormous. But I'd also like they still made games with a little higher difficulty on the main quest. I do not like having to 100 percent a game first to have some extra difficulty after that, or collecting pointless things at all. Mario Odyssey, Echoes of Wisdom, Mario Wonder... Those games would be much better with the option of a classic difficulty. Mario Galaxy seems more balanced in that way, but I doubt we'll ever get Tropical Freeze's difficulty ever again.

I remember playing the original one rented on Saturn and not liking it so much. The tank controls, the graphics, the art style... It was way behind Mario 64, which I already played at the time. I can understand not every game has to be a 10/10, and I believe I would appreciate it more today, but I still don't like that you can see his eyeballs from behind. That looked weird back then and still does.
