i'm a bit worried about all of these franchising become "hard". i feel like they are trying to pander to the hardcore too much. i'm all for hard games but a lot of people are not so they better have a difficulty setting otherwise a lot of customers are going to feel alienated.

Err, what? You're talking about Nintendo there? :p

lol, apparently my post was popular. xD

 

what i mean is the hardcore has been yelling and screaming for years now that nintendo has neglected the hardcore.  now in just the last year we have a team ninja metroid announcement and an apperantly quite punishing 2D mario.  I feel like nintendo is bending to the wills of the forum going hardcores saying "look at us,...we can be hardcore too!!" to which i say...

1. nintendo needs to keep their eye on the larger market not just the whiny majority.

2. despite the large number of games i play i'm actually quite bad at them...i hate hard games. xD

okay, so 2 points don't make a trend but i'm still worried that nintendo is letting themselves be influenced by the wrong people.  i mean it's a pretty thin like between challenging and frustrating.

So now Zelda isn't "hardcore"?

And the term "hardcore" is in reference to game difficulty?

I think people change the meaning of "hardcore" to whatever they need it to be solely for the sake of detracting, trolling, or needing a reason to whine about any Nintendo game.
