The definition of what it means to be a 'core' gamer seems to change every generation, so it´s confusing.
Nowadays, I guess 2D Mario is not considered a 'core' game, but back in the NES/SNES days, was it?
People who play 3D Mario but not the 2D versions, are they considered 'core' Nintendo fans?
But then, wouldn´t the people who play 2D mario, but not the 3D versions, be the "true" core Nintendo fans?...since Nintendo as we know it was built on 2D Mario..you know, the company sometimes is referred to as "the house that (2D) Mario built".
'Core' gamer is a term that changes over time, so personally, I don´t like to use it.
