It appears that Mario's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, is telling us that the new mario game for the wii will have a feature that will allow the game to play itself. "if a player is experiencing an area of difficulty, this will allow them to clear troubled areas and take over when they're ready."
I'm kind of saddened by this new feature. Half of the fun of Mario is the difficulty and the enjoyment that you get from clearing a level. This obviously seems to be an attempt to bring in more casual gamers, and you can opt not to use it, but to me, it feels like Nintendo is really making the extra effort to make the casual gamers feel more accepted and the hardcore gamers feel more and more alienated.
