Pretty sure since the Wii being casual first that Nintendo stopped listening to its fans.

But then again its just revenge for low sales of Gamecube.

Chicken or the egg. Did Nintendo do it or did the fans do it first?

This is exactly the point I have been trying to make for a long time. Nintendo tried doing it the way the "Hardcore Nintendo fans" wanted, but we all saw how well that turned out :/
