What happened to Nintendo targeting core gamers? Did that evaporate along with third party support? Or is he simply implying a "for now" condition?

Anyway, I'm fine with Nintendo in their niche, if that's the route they settle into. Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of people would be happy with that direction.

Edit:  It seems Iwata said 2014 will be Nintendo's year for the "highly skilled gamer".  Interesting.  Do they have anything announced besides Bayonetta?

Why would Nintendo target core gamers when real core gamer do play Nintendo games?  Mario is way to hard for casual gamers (NSMB is the easiest series but even that is harder than COD)
 Zelda, SmashBros  are also core games.

Dont mix up mainstream with core.  Hard to understand mechanics/controls also does not equal core.
