The same sadness that is going to effect the Wii. Watch the game being beaten or played FOR you, will effect future NDS games as well.

How much lazier will Nintendo make us?
 
I guess, for now, it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I mean, how many people would have loved something like this for say...Ninja Gaiden on Xbox? A lot of people did not get to experience that amazing game simply because the first bits were too hard, and there was no learning curve. Maybe a feature like this could have prevented them from quitting the game entirely? I just hope it's not over used or makes things too easy. We shall see...
 
I must be a weenie but I'll use this to my advantage. I can see you nay sayers into using it. Remember, it's optional... I think it's useful. I fully welcome this. Bring it on Nintendo! :D

It takes the fun out of a challenging game... You are put into a situation where you can't seem to figure out what to do. So what do you do you have the game play for you and it becomes a cutscene pretty much but oh wait, I just beat the game? Oh wow, seems that I just beat the hardest game that Nintendo has to offer... Now will you feel the same way that you would have if you beat the game like it was meant to be played? I think not.
 
I say let them have the Demo play, it's optional after all and i don't plan to use it anyway so what's the point of being against it? if you seek challenge then play without it, if you are the kind who quits a game because you're stuck then use it...... i don't see the point.

plus i doubt Intelligent Systems will be able to add Demo play to Fire Emblem games, and that's the only game i care about difficulty. The other games i don't care if they are as hard as SMB2: lost levels or easy as pie as long as the gameplay is fun.

plus I think the feature will most likely be only on certain games not all of them.
 
I really don't understand what the problem is with this. It's an entirely optional feature that you can completely ignore if you want. To be honest, it isn't much different than a cheat code and they certainly haven't ruined gaming. Neither will this.

I am confused. Does it actually play the part for you, or just show a demo of how to beat that part?
 
@ x2: It's a video walkthrough. It shows how to beat it according to the patent. It's like a visual strategy guide. Why the fuss guys?

and that definitely proves that even if there was a Demo play for a fire emblem game it wouldn't be very reliable XD the RNG would mess it up

It plays the part for you.

@Zi: Actually it looks like Nintendo is going to implement it on every game released on the Wii/NDS

so far they only announced it and confirmed it on NSMBW nothing else from what i heard.

@x2: originally (and i don't know if they will still add this) it was supposed to be a tiny video walkthrough on the corner of the screen, but now it plays the game for you.
