Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo boss calls for more hardcore Wii games in 2008

jlauro on 05 February 2008

“…Nintendo has teams working on meeting the needs of more hardcore gamers. The big complaint from them now may be that we’re not pouring all of our resources into that sector exclusively, but I feel that it’s Nintendo’s mission to make both kinds of games.

that would be nice--and i agree with the 3rd party mentality, the DS shows that software can sell on nintendo systems if the game is good enough

Pfff... Long time Nintendo fans are the only hardcores that will get a kick out of this. Hardcore gamers demand much more than what the Wii can produce, I'm afraid.

Thank you, O omnipotent pollster with his finger on the pulse of what the REAL hardcore gamers want Riot Of The Blood.

In all seriousness, the only people who think that hardcore gamers somehow universally hate the Wii are fanboys of some other system.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

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.
