Interesting new Nintendo patent.

[Friendly Hostile]

In theory, this patent should allow Nintendo to make their games accessible to less oriented gamers without insulting the more oriented ones.

Pretty much, which is why I don't see why people should have a need to ninny about it.  If anything, this would mean developers can make more challenging games without worrying about making it too hard for casual players.

that is, of course, assuming they bother making the games difficult. I'll accept this idea only on that condition though.

It's kind of good. More casual gamers would like it if they can't beat a certain part. Casual gamers don't play games ALL the time, so it would be good for them.
For the hardcore gamers, it doesn't really effect them. It's just there if they need it, which they probably won't.

I would use it for a Zelda game, but only for the stupid puzzles like the statue one in TP. >:(

you mean to get to the master sword? Ugh, that puzzle was just beyond stupid...
Again, I'm fine with it if they bother to give the hardcore an actual challenge. Otherwise it's just a dumb way to cheapen the experience.

As if video games needed to be dumbed down any further.
