The silliness of "hardcore"?

That is one reason I have shied away from Nintendo games, because they are not story driven. That is not to say that Nintendo doesn't produce fantastic games, I am just not compelled by Mario's quest to save the princess.

I am still dying to play Super Mario Galaxy in any case. I am not willing to purchase a Wii for it though. I do appreciate the artistic break the designers have taken with the game though, because it looks fantastic and very surreal. Definitely a step in the right direction.

It's interesting, because this is precisely why I DO like Nintendo games: I strongly dislike most story driven games. Not because I don't like stories -- I do, very much so -- but because the stories are consistently puerile in nature. Again, just my experience.
