Nintendo has stated that it is undertaking a new policy; to make games short and sweet. This has already been seen in Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin where the quality of the games cannot be faulted and they haven't taken very long to finish.
Nintendo are backing this policy up by saying that most gamers will not reach the end of a game and will therefore become tired of it without experiencing all the fruits of gameplay.
The problem is that some games are lacking longetivity and people are feeling short changed.
In my own opinion I welcome some way of allowing people to experience the whole package without cheating although the games must have other options to keep people playing. After all, £39.99 is a lot for a week's hard play.
Smash Bros and Super Moneky Ball both provide good longetivity due to their excellent multiplayer aspects. Therefore if Nintendo are looking at shortening the one player games then they must look to have additional multiplayer options. I know that I want something that will last me before I splash the cash.
