@giuduc------> Yeah it can sell to casuals even without minigames. RIGHT. I still dont know what Nintendo were thinking making the game. Playing the main game even how good it is was becoming boring afterwards. Thats why minigames were created. I mean why Nintendo created minigames on NSMB DS? Just for the LULZ?
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
