Well what I consider hardcore is support of all of Nintendo's franchises. I think a hardcore game is one with title recognition. As such the GameCube is the most hardcore Nintendo platform to date. It had nearly one instalment for every one of Nintendo's franchises. I bought 35 GCN games over its life cycle and most of them were first party titles that many would argue are hardcore.
I think the Wii lacks hardcore, mainly because of all the new franchises and the over rated tech demo's. Rather then Nintendo supporting existing properties like Donkey Kong, StarFox etc...etc... they choose to develope countless Wii tech demo's!
I for one am boycotting WiiSportsResort for that very reason, I'm sick of all the tech demo's!
