Wrong. Actually, the NES was considered "casual" in its time, while arcade games (the dominant form of gaming at the time) were the "hardcore." Had you been alive when the NES was released, you'd have heard all sorts of talk about how the NES and those new easy, kiddy, casual games where you go from point A to point B (some of them - gasp - don't even have high score charts!) were killing and "casualizing" gaming. End result: Some "hardcore" adapted; others clung bitterly to their style of games until the market for them dwindled down into nothingness. How's that for a modern-day parallel? |
So, in these modern days, what would be "the new NES games"?....you know, the ones that apparently the "hardcore" will have to adapt to, just like all those years ago?
