The autopilot mode we talked about being in New Super Mario Bros Wii, will also feature in other games according to a report by Nikkei.
Referred to as "Skip Functionality", it will allow the player to pause the game and select a menu option to turn on automated play. It's claimed that Nintendo plan on using this feature in action games on both the Wii and DS handheld. They hope that it will stop players getting frustrated and quitting out, allowing them to experience the full game.
