^^^^ no, it didn't automatically make them casual but when you have a press confrence (E3) and you spend so much time talking about how you appeal to the masses and then give a fifteen minute presentation on Wii Fit and glaze over the core 4, that's when you've left the hardcore

This is some truth in this. 

Nintendo's design priorities haven't seemed to have changed all that much, but it's marketing and PR spins have changed a bit.  They're trying to market to a different segment of the market and now some people such as DMJ are offended by it.  To them, it feels like Nintendo has turned its back on them.

I understand it, but I would rather judge a company by the games it makes rather than any PR statements.
