Mario Set To Go More Hardcore
To many Mario’s image is casual, to others the gameplay is purely hardcore. While Mario may have walked this thin line between the two for quite a while Shigeru Miyamoto has plans to push him more towards one side of this fence with the next Super Mario Galaxy title.
I do believe that there is a lot here to appeal to the more veteran and more experienced gamers, and I think it’s a title that they will obviously enjoy, but I really took it into consideration and tried to do our best to create a game that’s accessible to new gamers as well. And, you know, we also built it with consideration that we believe that people who played through the first Mario Galaxy have become better players.
Adding a more difficult curve to Mario in any content seems like a good idea but the gameplay of Mario has never been why gamers considered it to be casual, with that aside however Mario Galaxy was notoriously easy. Only time will tell what lasting impact this statement will have on the title.
