Nintendo to introduce “demo play” in new games

A patent discovered in January with Shigeru Miyamoto as the creator hinted that Nintendo may be making their games easier for casual gamers. And this past week, it was teased that, starting with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nintendo will implement a system in which these players would find assistance in beating a level. Now Miyamoto has shed light on the first details of a new mode that Nintendo is introducing – demo play.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, players will have the ability to temporarily stop the game. The system will then take over and show how to beat that particular level. Once that is complete, gamers can press a button and continue.

“In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, if a player is experiencing an area of difficulty, this will allow them to clear troubled areas and take over when they’re ready. And yes, we’re looking into this for future games.” – Shigeru Miyamoto
