| RolStoppable said: @rickthestick2 and others who have missed this particular thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=4223 Just read through the list of games and decide for yourself whether Nintendo is replacing the core with the casuals or if they are trying to add the casuals into the equation. |
Shhh, don't disturb the peace of the people who want to ignore the fact that Nintendo has been making casual games for decades. That isn't nice.
The line between casual and hardcore doesn't exist. Games (even non-games) are all part of the same industry.
Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros, Pokemon, Halo, Final Fantasy, Madden (all sports games?), GTA, Brain Age all got popular because they appeal to more than just the "core" gamer. Whoever that is.
What separates a Core gamer from a Casual Gamer to the publishers? How many games they buy. I buy 20 games a year (that's $1000-1200), most will buy one to three: maybe a sports game, one triple A title, and one more triple A title in the bargain bin. I only mean this for the business side of casual gamers to core gamers, not the social side. I was "hardcore" back when I could only afford one new game a year.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
