Its being discussed so many times but it was easily summed up by the game overthinker.
We don't to admit it, but videogames are for children. There toys and Nintendo as a business MUST make games for children to ensure they have a healthy future. Expanding your business is always a plus.
Catering only to a smaller audience (the hardcores, or hardlycores) is not a good long term strategy. (see the gamecube and N64) Its most people on the internet think Nintendo should only cater to them is what keeps the argument going despite Nintendo have being very successful now and shown they CAN appeal to not only the young, but older generations and even *gasp* WOMEN.
They did something no one expected them to, they changed, they started doing new things but of course instead the gaming industry (third partys and the media) and the Hardcore (basement dwellers) didn't want this. They wanted to stay in there safety bubble.
That comes down to the question did Nintendo stop catering to the hardcores? Oh course not, there are still games its just the ""hardcore"" love to wail and moan that there not getting everything like a spoiled child. Nintendo have to cater to this new audience also because THERE APART OF NINTENDO'S BUSINESS NOW!
So just deal with it because thanks to this Nintendo will be in the industry for many more years to come.
