And I thought that Nintendo was all about GAMEPLAY :P What's next, a lineup of Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Mario hidden object games?
Surely a lack of ability to save doesn't help the casual gamer. Who's going to leave the game running all the time for the multiple hours from intro to outro?
Nintendo should work on consolidating its IP lineup by bringing back the good ones - Donkey Kong Country in particular not to mention some 2D Super Mario games for that old-school feel with next-gen perks - rather than focus on silly patents like this.
Anyway, casual gamers should be placed on suspended bricks and headbutted from underneath!
