Casual is a style of play, not a specification of hardware or software. Or a genre. Or a demographic per se.

 

The style of play is dependent on the demographic of it's consumer.  For the most part the 3DS (as with all of Nintendo's gaming systems and handhelds) are made up of dedicated Nintendo enthusiast (gamers),non-Nintendo only gamers, casuals, and youngsters. Thus encompasing the everyone gaming culture which makes Nintendo handhelds so successful.


Not always. I believe it is very possible to play many games labeled as "casual" in a rather hardcore fashion through the process of mastery.

Yes...some games like Smash Bros comes to mind.  It can be a blast for casual button mashing folks and it could be a masterful fighter *ahem* in the hands of the right gamer.
