@Serious, most in fact all fighting games to me are casual games. But as I mentioned before a "HARDCORE" gamer can play a "Casual" game. Most of the time there in it to be the best, to take it upon themselves to master ever little detail of said character, and to beat the rest of the world :P I know many people like that in rock band, however, when I PLAY, I usually stick to medium, with no goal of ever playing on hard or expert. I play it to have fun, and casually pass the time by playing with my friends, who COULD be "hardcore". Fighting games weren't meant to be played through time and time again.
As I mentioned with monkey ball, the goal seems to be to unlock everything, and once you've done that, your left with the main plate. An RPG is meant to be experienced time and time again, it's not meant for a person who enjoys playing video games when he's drunk with some buddies, or for 20 minutes before the big game, or for almost any type of casual encounter. When you beat Zelda, do you pick it up again in 4 years just to putz around with some enemy's? Sure, but chances are you want to re-do the dungeons, re-live some of the story, I personally want to start again from the start and just get everything all over again because that in itself was part of the experience. Thats what separates "Hardcore" and "Casual" games for me.
