first party doesn't equal hardcore. Nintendo's first party franchises have decreased in difficulty these past two generations to allow casual games a chance, pretty much diluting any hardcore aspirations they may have had.

 

So difficulty determines what's hardcore?

 

 Its about barriers to entry, longtime gamers don't like that just anyone can play, they want it to be hard so only people who want to invest a lot of time can play

 

You let him answer, mister, it's a DTG-aimed question and I expect a DTG answer.

And that definition is ridiculous past reasoning. Ssomeone who can beat Donkey Kong is a hardcore gamer but that does not necessarily make Donkey Kong a hardcore game.

 

 Oh i'm not saying that I agree , but I have talked to others who have voiced that sentiment
