Well, he's right. Until N64 "hardcore gamers" were on Nintendo's side, playing the hell out of any game, easily breaking the 1000 hours playtime and breaking records and highscores.
Why shouldn't the Wii not have hardcore gamers? They may not be the same as in the past but there are still people who play a lot. And by a lot I mean breaking the 1000 hours again. I know lots of those people, mainly those who are still around and started with N64 in the highscore scene.
Nintendo actually never changed. Just the people and former fans.
Take a look at the boxes of the old consoles. They were all about family, multiplayer, etc.
Wii also is.
You could argue games became easier. But saying there are no hardcore gamers on Wii (not necessarily the same as in the past) is just another lame statement using cool words. |
yep, because no one logs in that much hours on any other type of console. THere are no local MP games on the other consoles. Please.
Reggie misses the point with his first statement it doesnt matter how much hours one logs in. YOu could log that much in solitaire.
Its about the games, which WII missed alot of, but they seem to be fixing that

Haha, yeah, "oh my god, a pro post, gotta blame as fanboy blabla and tell that the other consoles are AT LEAST as cool"
You are just using "core" and "casual" like every cool web-zine. Why is "hardcore" not about playtime? Oh "please".
What is core? Spending 70 million $ for development? Guns? Having started playing on SNES? Or maybe PS2, the pure core machine (not)? What is hardcore when spending TONS of time playing videogames is not? "Please". As if playing CoD or any other "AAA" title - that is funnily as successful as "casual" games and played by a lot of "casuals" - five hours a day is any more core.

ive seen you've missed the point, but im not surprised. Playing games for hours on end is hardcore, i never said it wasnt. I just simply said that not something that is only done on Ninty systems. But that was the problem. THe problem was they werent getting alot of games that ironically enough, people do spend hours playing (Skyrim being one of them). Which Reggie himself said is a problem which they are taking care off.
Im not going to respond to your 2nd rant paragraph, because it had nothing to do with what i was getting at anyway
