I don't know about you cats, but I'm kinda getting tired of the "hardcore" title anymore. While it does have its place in helping designate a certain level of gamer, it reminds me of the "Extreme!!!" craze that hit in the mid to late 90's.
You know, from an overall industry standpoint, most gaming journalists haven't said many good things about the Wii -- period --. They only reflect upon its phenomenal sales and the comeback kid appeal. For instance, the Bonus Round's E3 wrap up report on Nintendo was more like a lame attempt at satire and jokes.
Many in the industry still think Wii is a joke when it comes to game play, and frankly from a gamer who would like some genuine journalistic coverage, it's getting rather annoying. In part, I don't think this will ever change until they are forced to once the flood gates are opened in regards to Wii's third party software support.
It's different and most don't like it and they are just all pouting about its success. Well tough shit kiddies, Nintendo's bank account says the formula is here to stay, and so does the public.
