| Erik Aston said: I love how franchises Nintendo has had for a long time are suddenly "casual" games because they are having cross-over success. Are you begrudging of the new games, or of the new gamers? If its the new games, then Pokemon and Mario Party (and later, Animal Crossing) go squarely in the so-called "hardcore" pile. C'mon. They had Wii Sports at launch, Wii Play and Wario at launch everywhere but America, and the only other post-Iwata franchise game they've brought out since is BBA. In the meantime they've launched 3 Mario spin-offs, two of them very well received, along with Pokemon. 4 games from the biggest, most traditional franchises they have. What are the big titles for the rest of the year? Mario, Metroid, Smash, Wars, Donkey Kong spin-off, Fire Emblem (all of which rely on NES-era properties) and ONE crossover title in Endless Ocean. The game release schedule suggests that Nintendo is abandoning the "casuals." One crossover title for the rest of the year? Casual killer app Wii Fit not to make it out of Japan until 2008? Who are they catering to, the fans who got them where they are today with DS and Wii Sports, or the "hardcores" who abandoned them first chance they got on N64 and GC? See, it's all about perspective. I don't mean "changing your perspective," I mean having some in the first place |
