Since "hardcore" gamers do not exist because its a made up term. And most of them actually just call themselves hardcore gamers but in fact are mainstream gamers.
I don't think there is reason to show the mainstreamers what Nintendo is capable of I mean they dont even have their OWN opinion anyway so who cares. The less mainstreamers are on a console the better the games are.
MetroidPrime 3 was streamlined Skyward sword was streamlined. Mario Galaxy 2 (overworld "line" instead of hub) was streamlined. NSMB is a streamlined Mario series and its the worst Mario IP. So no thanks.
Niche Nintendo FTW!
