Back in the days, Nintendo was known for the difficulty of its games, giving birth to the "Nintendo Hard" label. It is most frequently addressed to NES titles, but relatively recent games (e.g. Super Meat Boy and I Wanne Be The Guy) have been compared to them for their difficulty due to the precision and brain-hand coordination required.
Nowadays, it almost looks like the tables have turned. Even though some games provide a decent challenge, that's not exactly what Nintendo games are known for. However, aside from the indie scene, it's hard to find games that fit this label at all.
Is it too early to call the "Nintendo Hard" category of games dead?
