News \ Nintendo hasn't abandoned core gamers



Pachter thinks that Nintendo hasn't forgoten abut the core gamers. He went on to say that "some hardcore gamers were critical of Nintendo's failure to announce new Mario and Zelda games at the show... we think that Nintendo focused upon building upon its formidable lead with the mass market, and do not consider the lack of major hard core game announcements to be an abandonment of its core." Interesting, but what do you guys think?

i believe brawls difficulty goes up to insane



And Brawl is the only game that has kept me busy for at least a week. But sadly intense can only be intense so long before it becomes normal

Wii cant handle that sort of graphics,
and online wise it isnt as good as x360 and ps3.
But yes we need more FPS games..

Galaxy was such a disgrace to mario games it wasn't even funny, the game was created for like 10 year olds. TP as good as it was (like best game ever) had its flaws too. TP was way too easy, with 3 hearts no continues i never died once. Nintendo even fcked up SSBB, their only competitive game.

As much of a hardcore Nintendo fanboy that i am, I see major flaws when I see them, and Nintendo's casual gamer stance is a flaw.



Finally someone else who agrees with me that Nintendo has been dumbing down their games waay too much.

Anyone who grew up playing the NES/SNES and N64 knows how good Nintendo CAN be and how absolutely easy and pathetic some of the games are. It's almost a shame what they've done.

I understand Nintendo wants to hit a bigger audience, but their older audiences are abandoning all hope for any challenge the Wii can muster up.

I wholeheartedly disagree. All this E3 has shown me as a Hardcore fan is how greedy, naive and selfish the hardcore crowd has become. Nintendo is a "business" that makes "profit", if the casual market is worth more money to them then they sell to the casual market, clearly this is not a flaw, but rather a strength in their business reasoning.

additionally the Hardcore crowd demanded Brawl, Zelda and Mario. All 3 have come out and: Brawl has more content than ever before, Zelda looks beautiful and was great fun (even if challenge was lacking for veterans) and Galaxy came out on top as Game Of the Year 2007 and mario has always been kiddy, but still the hardcore crowd remains staunchly unhappy because of perceived superior hardcore catering on other systems . You want more hardcore games with more content? Well they are more expensive to make so round up some cas
