The problem with modern Mario

[deleted fren]

I think Mario as a series has really stagnated. Since they can't implement actual challenge into the games anymore, they compensate with non stop gimmicks and hidden collectibles. The issue is, those are a one trick wonder. There's a reason people replay 3 more than 3d world.

Previously, Shigeru Miyamoto specifically ensured that the games would offer a certain amount of difficulty.

This is a question he's struggled with for a long time. Lots of people on staff thought Sunshine was hard, which closed a barrier for new players. But difficulty is what made the game fun for people, some others thought. The experience of running and jumping with Mario is fun by itself, but there should be difficulty for the right of satisfaction. The game was actually fairly easy until a few months ago when Miyamoto went in and made the game harder. The development team started to get worried that it would be too hard at one point. There are special challenges in the game that Miyamoto hopes that we will find challenging.

There needs to be a level of intensify for games to be enjoyable. You need to have that level of challenge so that you're pulled into a games world.
