Miyamoto: Super Guide to be used 'whenever appropriate'

For a completely optional feature meant to help out less experienced players, New Super Mario Bros. Wii's Super Guide certainly has found its share of detractors. That won't stop Nintendo from using the feature in future first-party titles, famed Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto told the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine (found via 1UP).

He stopped short of confirming a return of the new feature for next year's platformer, but still gave the feature an endorsement, claiming "In general, wherever and whenever appropriate, I think we will want to incorporate that kind of thing."
