Yeah, its really stupid of Nintendo to say "people find games too hard! Lets make them easy!" That isn't the solution! Making games hard, but beatable, is... its tough to do but is the best. Because easy games may be fun while they last (IMO anyway...), but in the long run that game that takes you months is just going to be more fun and more memorable... because of the challenge. Beating easy games is fun, but shortlived. Hard games keep you coming back until you finish them... even if it takes a long time (for me, anyway)... like how I'm STILL trying to beat Excitebike 64 and am sure that one of these months I will finally beat the Pro Platinum circuit, and then the next circuit, and then finally unlock Excite 3D. It'll take a while (I just beat Pro Gold last december), but it'll be so satisfying... unlike easy games that are fun for days then you never play again, unless it has a good multiplayer mode. Which I don't play much. Such as Mario Kart 64...
Forgot to mention.. hard is good. Annoying isn't. See: Majora's Mask (I will not discuss this yet again...), or Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (the way that if you fall behind the computers you will NEVER, EVER catch up is infuriating... its SO INCREDIBLY CHEAP! And not fun at ALL on the harder races. Nearly impossible, too... I've still never finished above 9th on Grabvine Gateway and 10th on Abyss...
