Oh, you will, but it won't be until Silicon finishes with the Too Human trilogy; and it'll probably be on Microsoft's next console, not the Wii. Which is dissapointing to me, too :(

Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Why are there like 5 different links in your post, and GoNintendo doesn't link directly to the interview? That'd make things a lot easier than having to sift through the blogspam.

Everyone who understood Nintendo's strategy for the Wii would have never questioned that Nintendo would be going to abandon the core gamer market.

Think about it:

1. Core gamers buy the most games, they are usually the ones who pick up a system in the first year, they spend the most money on videogames.
2. Core gamers are highly informed about already released and upcoming games and are spreading the word among their friends.
3. Nintendo's business is always run to be highly profitable, it makes no sense to ignore the group of gamers that spends the most money on their hobby.

Nintendo must still fight the perception that they are ignoring the "core gamer" market and that element has never had to be a part of their strategy until now.

As far as the love thing yeah I need some girlfriend love ATM (in the romantic way ya pervs! Got my long time friend hopefully girlfriend soon needing to make up her mind XD) ANYWAY! Of course they want to make games for both sides and try to even mend both together as part of their making the gaming market grow, and part of the plan is to make those casual gamers into core gamers so they can sell core games *Guinness guy* BRILLIANT!!! and of course still make the casual games to hopefully lure the fence sitters in eventually, brainwash them into core gamers, rinse then repeat with the game haters, yes eventually Hillary Clinton and Jack Thompson will be playing GTA, well if Nintendo's plan goes very well and well... heck itself freezes over.
