I think Metroid is a perfect example. The first two were completed all on your own, and most people who play it are hardcore fans. They were/are unhappy with how the rest of the games work now. New players enjoyed Metroid Prime, because their was exploration, but not to the point of hair-tearing. Last is Other M, which everyone says held your hand through the whole game. It had for scripts, little exploring, but amazing graphics and gameplay. And this is the turn games are going for. I guess that's one reason I like the Mario series so much. A Noob can win it, but it takes a hardcore fan to complete it. Especially with coin challenges and single player collection of Star Coins. That's because Nintendo's goal is to make fun games that appeal to all.
