I don't agree with this, games are as "hardcore" as you want them to be. You can play MK for fun or competitive, and it has a lot to offer in both ways. It's as hardcore as CoD or Halo are, in my opinion. We have to judge Splatoon's features as it is, a competitive shooter. It has to be fun, but, if the content is lacking, it will fail as a game. It must appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers, like MK does. But, we'll know when Nintendo decides to do a Direct of it. I'm very sceptic at the moment...

What makes Mario Kart casual is the fact that you don't need alot of skill to win. All you have to do is drive "good enough" and then get lucky with the right items at the right time. Compare that to playing GT where it takes extremely skill and total knowledge of the game in order to even be competitive. There is a huge difference between the two.
While I haven't played Splatoon, from what Reggie said and the videos I've seen, that's what they're going for with this game. It looks like it's going to have a very low learn curve and allow for people with less skill, the ability to win. That is in stark contrast to something like Halo or COD where the gap between decent players and the top players is light years apart. You can't just be "ok" in those games and expect to finish with a 21-2 KD spread. It's just, not possible.
My personal take on casual is basically something that doesn't take alot of skill or knowledge to win at. That's what defines "casual" for me.

Mario Kart is like Poker. Maybe one run is unfair. But when you play 10 if you are the best, you win.
