Yes and no.
It takes dedication to level grind, but anyone can do it if it involves no gamer reflexes.
Spending hours memorizing a boss' patterns until you can beat it is more "hardcore" since it requires both time and focus, but I agree that level grinding would turn away most cazzies.
As for the topic, I would have been second in line to see Suda. Even if I couldn't speak his language, I'd still want to shake his hand and get my picture taken with him.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
