Where did I mention anything about "casual"? It seems you are the one obsessed with "hardcore/casual" thing. But please, can you tell me what is that "we all knew is coming anyway"? Obviously we all don't know what that is...

What is that hardcore once again? First you say it is the gears/halo crowd and then you say it is not the people who play online shooters.. What is your problem with who like games with "blood and violence" on them?

 

 I just didnt include the one playing online shooters because I forgot to mentioned it but yeah, anyway heres my list on what a hardcore means:

1) Playing online for hours

2) Likes shooters/FPS on consoles

3) Likes licensed sports titles

4) Graphic whores

5) Wants violence and blood in their games

OK here goes, if somehow Legend of Zelda, Starfox Wii, Pikmin 3, F-Zero Wii, etc... will be announced in next E3 or October conference or will there be a new Spaceworld would you believe it? It sounds absurd but what any franchise can Ninty announced? Kid Icarus?

OH YEAH, I forgot Earthbound

Just to be clear, are you using "hardcore" as an insult?

 

Oh.. why wouldn't I believe if zelda,starfox,pikmin etc would be announced. Actually I know only zelda out of those games you listed. :P I don't see your point why should I wait for 2009.
