If this isn't aimed at casual/family/kids audiences then I don't know what is.

The Wii actually had more "hardcore" games from Nintendo its first year in Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Excitetruck, and Fire Emblem. Even the Mario games on the Wii U are clearly designed for the family audience crowd -- NSMBU and Mario 3D World moreso than Mario Galaxy which is more of a continuation of the "Nintendo epic" game philosophy from the N64/GCN days.

LOL, you don't get what made the Wii successful.
