Most HD games I can't even play for more than 3 minutes because they're so boring. Since I only play them in short 2-3 minute bursts, I guess every single one of them is casual.

No. If all you do is play games in short burst and spend more of your time not playing games rather than playing games your most likely a casual gamer. These HD games you play may be casual or not. But they wouldn't be casual just because you find them boring and unable to play for more than 2-3 minutes.

So Animal Crossing isn't a casual game after all.

Animal crossing is indeed casual. It's a pick up and play game that takes little or nor effort to play and attracts people who wouldn't normally play video games. Stop nitpicking just one perticular post and try to remember what is said throughout the entire conversation. Does he really need to say everything AGAIN in the same thread every post he makes?

He's just one of those people who make up definitions and then bend them to suit their argument.

Take a look at another one of his posts where he classifies Metroid as a game between casual and hardcore. The game requires a lot of time invested, has a lot of backtracking and doesn't seem to attract any people who wouldn't normally play videogames. Metroid fits his definition of hardcore much more than the majority of HD games. But since he dislikes Nintendo, Metroid can't be labeled hardcore.

Rol, I didn't bend the definition. I called metroid a game in between casual and hardcore because I don't really consider most games as hardcore. I play everquest. That is a hardcore game. Halo is not hardcore, final fantasy games are not hardcore. However, if it pleases you, then metroid is hardcore.  But, the fact is what is more important is the gamer themselves. I don't even particularly like the definition of hardcore/casual games but at least more people than not understand what someone is saying when they describe a game as hardcore or casual.

I like Nintendo, they do what they do very well, you just cant understand because you're too sensitive about opposing opinions.
