| mibuokami said: A lot of Wii game do no have this distinction, they are made deliberately shallow to appeal to mass market but fail to provide the depth a hardcore gamer needs to keep him hook. This of course is also generalising and I'm sure their are many games on the wii that you can get hardcore about, no least of which some of the system's evergreen titles such as Mario Kart etc. With regards to the Wii, the Stigma is mainly tied to the fact that the wii promote alternative gaming which a traditional gamer may have very little to no interest in. When a console's flagship title include such game as Wii Fit and Wii Music one does not need to wonder why many teens and young adult look at the system and find it unsatisfying. Call it an illusion, but it is one that Nintendo itself promoted to begin with, so I have no qualm in calling them out on it. The wii lacks the high adrenaline visceral appeal of the PS360. It lacks voilence, it lacks sex and it lacks 'mature content' which is the staple food of a selective audience who have consider themselves 'hardcore' gamers for the past few generation. |
You can be very hardcore about Wii Fit. The slalom mini-games are hard as hell, same with the head-butting, not to mention the workouts themselves. A hardcore Wii Fit player would have sexy abs.
Even Wii Sports is tough, the bumper-bowling mini game had me pulling my hair out, the strike-game is hard too.
A hardcore Wii Music player? Check out some of the stuff on youtube, people dedicate a lot of time to that game, and are making some good music.
If you want to just go by difficulty, the easiest games I can think of are RPG's. They have easiness built right in, the longer you play it, the easier it becomes.
