What is a hardcore gamer?

[baka]

Kwaad said: Considering you own 5 Wii games... How many of them have you beat? (I dont consider wii sports/play a game)

I've finished Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, although I still play the minigames, and I've finished all the games in the Metal Slug anthology. (I had to get 6, as I'm a big fan of the series...) I'm close to beating Rayman: Raving Rabbids, although the mini games always suck me in. Particularly the Area 51-style shooting elements, but cow throwing competitions... happen... I am probably halfway through Zelda: Twilight Princess. I haven't beaten Excite Truck yet, which I'm maybe less than halfway through, but I probably won't play it much until I'm finished with Zelda. I'm playing too many games as it is. I do consider Wii Sports and Wii Play to be games, there's no good reason not to, but you can't really beat them. That's the way I like it.

It tells me you have alot of spare money. :P

You're right, I have a career and a good salary. The price of each of these games was basically pocket change, I tend to save quite a bit of my disposable income for a house (the median cost of which is over half a million in the area.) Still, you didn't answer my question. I consider myself a gamer, I enjoy games quite a bit including the classics. Do you consider hard core gamers only those who care primarily for graphics? If I'm considered a hard core gamer, and I believe I'm in the running, then the Wii can also be a good platform for that type.
