Nintendo is moving away from "Action" games (I can't call Zelda, Metroid, and Mario, "hardcore"). They continue to support "action"games in some form or another, but expect all new Nintendo IP's to be aimed at casual players.

 


I have to disagree with both of you points there. Zelda Metroid and Mario can well be called hardcore as much as the next ultra generic FPSs we see in the market nowadays. Why? You need frickin skill and brain power to even try to complete this games with have a percentage. Especially Metroid. The puzzles in Prime and Prime 2 echoes are mind boggling and Prime 2 is especially unforgiving with the combat.

On your 'New N IP = Casual' it is already confirmed that a new Miyamoto IP is in the works and it is in no way casual.

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.
