According to USA Today, in an interview with Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, he confirmed a “demo mode” that will allow the system to “play” the game for you. This is intended to allow you to get past difficult parts and retake control to finish the game. This new feature will debut on The New Super Mario Brothers Wii game.

I guess Nintendo wanted to put Gameshark out of business. Why else would they program “cheating” into their games? I hope they at least put a different ending in if you use the hack to complete the game. This is actually on step beyond the Gameshark since it never played the game for you, it just made you invincible.

I’m sure this is a godsend for those Time Attack Fakes Tool Assisted Speed Run Enthuistsas they  just got handed an easy out as well.

    Man, if they’re going to do this, I might as well go back and play Xenosaga.
