In fact none of them are, unless you count Mario Kart and NSMB, which I don't.

How is NSMB not core? It's a 2D sidescrolling platformer of a very old gaming mascot, and a very difficult one at that, especially with multiple players. IMO it's far more "core" than those games pretending to be movies that litter the HD consoles.


2D sidescrolling platformers may have been core games back on the SNES, but I'd say that nowadays they are not. And NSMB is one of the easiest games I've ever played.

Lol that doesn't make any sense. How can something be a core game 15 years ago but not now? So essentially what your saying is the definition of a core game is competely relative, which I totally agree with.

Does that also mean many HD "core" games will be considered casual 15 years from now?

Try playing NSMB Wii with four players. Not to mention the secret levels and get all three coins in each level. It's not easy dude, I guarentee it.

Fifteen years from now HD core games might well be considered casual.
