Whats Hardcore? Lets see, the guy who buys that franchise title with the new number added to it like (pt2, or pt3) and maps or the guy who buys games similar to games he likes to play (FPS) and also purchases games such as (Imagine series or Party something and Raving Killer Rabbits)? Me, Im hardcore!! I played Warhark, Genji, Baywolf, Guantlet, Heavenly Sword and other titles that didnt sell on my but made for my HD system. Im still waiting for my (core/franchise)games to come to Wii so I can atleast try a waggle differance. If you want Hardcore (I assure you its not an M rated game) Trying everything makes you HARDCORE!! Playing what you like (same game new number added) keeps you core/franchised. Blame the Dev/Publisher not the system its on.
