Forums - Nintendo - Miyamoto: Nintendo Still Hardcore-Friendly

dante on 20 April 2008

For Nintendo its like 90% casual focus and 10% hardcore. It seems like they dumbed down a lot of there games so kids and families can play them which is ok but it takes out the challenge and depth for hardcore gamers

What an intelligent and well-thoughtout post. Can you share more of your insights with us? Maybe with examples or even facts next time?

Considering I am not Nintendo or work for/in cooperation with Nintendo(sorry I forgot the proof D:) I can just say that I am not aware of their intentions. So, unlike many people posting here(not all) I am going to have to follow Miyamoto's word above all else's.

Seriously, that man has to have an insanely high EQ. Almost everything he says makes me agree with him, and it appears to be like that for almost everybody.
 I agree, the man is Jesus re-incarnated in Japanese form.

personally it seems that ninty has released three hardcore games. zelda, prime, and smash (maybe super paper mario). those games are loved by their fans. zelda is still zelda, never played a prime, but smash has been casualized. it still has amazing depth, but its slower and more floaty. it is also broken (ic chain grab).

galazy is casual, mario kart is casual. they have depth, but they are casual games. ninty has always been casual to midcore with lots of depth. its jsut that their fans are freaking out because they are becoming more casual than ever.

From what I've heard, the N64 version of Super Smash Bros was much slower than Melee was, which is why some people that I know still play the N64 version (that or they never got a GC). So the fact that they slowed it down (though not as slow as the N64 version), was probably to please some hardcore users. But not everyone is going to be happy, are they?

And what chain grab is broken exactly? And what else is broken?
