Nintendo confirms you can skip difficult parts of a game with 'demo play'

[360housecat]

Beginning with the upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii (due this holiday season), players will be able to pause a game during a particularly difficult level and let the game take over to complete the level. Press a button at any time to resume playing. This will help reduce barriers of entry for new or younger players – without purchasing a strategy guide or resorting to websites that list cheat codes.

In an exclusive interview with Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary game designer confirmed this optional feature called "demo play" (tentative name) is something the development team has been working on.

You should be able to just play with it off though im sure,i may invest in a Wii now then,always loved Mario games.Its one of the only games to ride each generatation of console,embracing the new technology and always releasing high ranked games,that and Zelda.

lol, what is of this anyway? stages get harder as you progress through a game, skipping one bit most likely means you'll end up having to skip everything
