My opinion.

1. Why create the market on Wii, when they have a big enough market with PS360. If Nintendo really want the "hardcore" games, Nintendo will make the market themselves and stop advertising the Wii the way they do (Family all around, kids playing, everyone smiling and joyful). When Nintendo make "hardcore" games like Uncharted, Halo, God of War, Fable... The developers will follow suit, and likely gain big sales.

The reason Wii is lumped with all the "casual" trash, is solely because of how Nintendo have marketted the console.

2. Nintendo are always releasing remakes, and dozens of sequels. Yet you think they are the best Videogames company ever. Why don't you all complain to Nintendo for new stuff, instead of the 3rd parties? They are there to make money, and are doing the best way they can (casual games). Nintendo on the otherhand, have made mountains of cash, yet keep giving the same franchises. Why don't you hate on THEM for a change?

1. Would third parties have to create a market for hardcore games, and that is, create it from scratch? I don't think so. Nintendo have made a fair amount of hardcore games after all. Just one example would be having the best selling fighter of the generation, and there is no way in hell that a fighter is a casual game. And I know you didn't mean it like that, but the way you wrote that sounds like you're saying hardcore gamers never smile, they have no social interaction and have a joyless existence...

2. They get away with making games in the same franchises because they are good games. It's not like... I don't know, let's say Final Fantasy, where the quality is starting to drop after yet another game...

That's one game from Nintendo that has been advertised like it should have been IMO.

As for the red comment, i point you towards NSMB Wii. In other words, i could say the same thing about some of Nintendo's franchises.
