Unlike "Hardcore" games, "Core" games have a definition which doesn't change to take on any meaning that the person using the term wants to at that point in time ... "Core" games are the kinds of games which have been popular on multiple consoles for multiple generations, and they represent the center of the videogame market.
Whether people want to call games like No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki and MadWorld "Core" games or not, there haven't been many games that are similar to them and been popular so I'm not so sure they can really be called "Core" games.
