I dont think that Mario is a hardcore game , played trough most of the mario games. Never took me more then one day to finish a mario game. But I think that Metroid Prime is hardcore, had a little problem to get 100% on it. Zelda is between but still its way to simple. Game must have replay value for the people who wants it must be hard. The problem is that with Nintendo consoles there is not much variation. With PC/PS,Xbox I can choose bewteen 10 different racing games, fps, adventure,sport,rpg... . Hardcore gamers dont like to be limited to few games and they want to compete with each other.
I will explain it a little better later, I am in a hurry.
