I have a hard time believing that Nintendo really wanted the hardcore back when a disproportionate amount of their self-published games on the Wii U consisted of two specific genres: party games and 2D sidescrollers -- two genres that casuals love. Off the top of my head there's NSMBU, NSLU, Nintendoland, Tropical Freeze, Mario Party 10, Game & Wario, Wii Party U, Amiibo Festival, Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Rainbow Curse, Wii Sports Club.
