Metroid and Zelda are both hardcore games. I would say Miyamoto is already on the right track.

Your posts are very ill-structured and hard to read...

Also do you see the extension port on the bottom of the Wii remote? That can lead to countless possibilities which will ensnare the 'hardcore' gamer. That said I would be deemed as 'hardcore' (although I never use the label) and I am perfectly satisfied with the direction of the Wii at present.

My interpretation of 'Hardcore' would say they must want a Wii. SSBB alone says that.

Well, it's different. The other consoles are just a sad attempt at copying the PC. There is nothing an x360 or ps3 can do that my computer can't except ease of use. But the wii is a different story. It's pure fun. It's not pretending to be a pc. Even my parents dig it.

The Wii is for hardcore gamers...games are about gameplay and options. The Wii has more gameplay options then any other system so theres no doubt that the Wii is for that. However we wont see these games until Nintendo brings out a really good game that 3rd party devs can look at and realise the wii isnt for kids. Oh and anyone who has played Godfather on the Wii knows gameplay is unbeatable on the Wii

Adding Wii controls to games that MS and SOny fans have already seen for ages is not going to make them suddenly want to play Wii. lol self ownage....

Most men are... You must be ronrey... I personaly would thank the man for getting more NA women into games, its now alot "cooler" to be seen acting like a moron playing tenis threw my living room window. I also consider my self the genaric hardcore gamer. I have been gaming since NES Snes PS1/N46 and the cube/ps2 era's. The way the Wii is going is giving old time gamers like myself something new that we have been in need of since the N64. New dynamics to play games in. This dynamic doesnt appear on your T.v its the the dynamic the player creates well playing the game. I will give the Examples You have a person like me that cant help but the caught up in games like Wii sports SSX Blur and Z:TP and has to swing his arms like a complete moron, well having the time of his life. Then you have a person like you I assume that expects the console to make you have fun, thats been good for the past 10 years i guess. I vote for this new thing though, its making me a non-hermit again, truly thats for the better >.> It even told me to sell my WoW account, best 252$ i ever made :D

I see. So the past and the future, they are one and the same, yes? Why bother even questioning or thinking about anything, then? You know that teh dinosaurs will be coming back soon enough, based on your logic.

I disagree. It was designed to attract everyone. Not just 'Hardcore' but people who'd usually stay away from VGs altogether. If Metroid Prime, No More Heroes, SSBB and Mario Galaxy doesn't say 'hardcore' then I shouldn't be interested in one... But I am. Oh, and all those games must be party games and downgraded lastgen ports... :roll:

Wii compliments my gaming habits as an easy going arcade joyride. There's a few games in the pipeline for it that deserve serious attention, but they're just a drop in the ocean compared to the truckload of amazing hardcore titles coming out for other platforms (or are already out). I was big mr optimism about my Wii until I saw the games coming out this year, with no interesting future announcements either. Since I got STALKER I haven't even contemplated touching my Wiimote.

seriously, people need to realise that DS and Wii especially are not aimed towards gamers, it is for non-gamers. Nintendo bundles the Wii with Wii Sports, that alone shows the market Nintendo is targeting. There are more non-gamers than gamers in the world that is why DS and Wii are selling very well. Wii is NOT for gamers. Mark my words, the best selling Wii game will be a non-gamer's game, e.g (Wii Sports, Wii Health, Brain Age), just like the DS, the best selling game is a non-gamer's game (Nintendogs, Brain Age etc)

Pokemon im sure is gonna be the best selling DS title. the same can be argued for the PS3-XBOX GTA isnt a hardcore gamer, it appeals to casuals i know people with just a ps2 and gta THATS IT. no god of war, no okami nothing.

Well, your idea of a hardcore gamer and my idea is very different. You think that a hardcore gamer is one that wants lots of FPS and lots of sports games. Mine is somebody like me, who wants all kinds of games, such as platformers, RPGs, FPS, puzzlers, and more, and won't be afraid to try new things, and isn't afraid to go back to older games (like the ones on the Wii's Virtual Console). That's why I am getting a Wii60, so that I can have a very wide variety of games to play. But, I did read the posts you're talking about and know that he is talking about your idea for hardcore gamers. You don't see any way that they will attract those gamers, but you are just looking at the games announced right now. He's talking about games which are not announced yet. More games that these "hardcore gamers" will like will be announced.

O NOEZ! Then I guess that Xbox is doomed! Because you can already buy Halo and Halo 2, so nobody is going to want Halo 3, right? And PS3 is really screwed, because they are relying on 2 games from 2 different series which have been out for years (MGS and FF). Because you know that Halo 1, 2 and 3 are exactly the same game with no improvements at all, and the same can be said for MGS and FF... :| And just because they don't have it now, doesn't mean that they don't want it at all. Like Jandurin said, the Wii is hard to find, and there are still a lot of people looking. And some people, such as myself, have one console, and will get another later. For me, I have a Wii now, and I will get a 360 later. I'm wainting a while, and will probably get it about a year from now. By your logic, nobody is buying a PS2 now, because everybody who wanted one got one when they were first released.

The only way Nintendo will ever appeal to hardcore gamers is with quality 3rd party support, something Nintendo hasn't had for a long time.

Hardcores would own a system not based on its looks. Therfore, many hardcores own a Wii, I know I do. The way Wii can appeal is demos, trailers, and long/deep gameplay. I am sure WIi will be for all pretty soon.

Do not ask "hardcore" gamers on SW about the Wii. Most of them will simply claim that "they've been gaming since the original Atari" and say that because they don't like the Wii, no "hardcore" gamer does. And if someone says "I think the Wii is a good console and I'm a hardcore gamer" they'll immediatly attack that person claim that they're "not a true gamer" because he likes the Wii.

The main problem is lack of games. The control may seem a bit simplistic but smart developers should be able to make complex games work with the simplistic controls. The controllers main problem is lack of buttons IMO.

Adding Wii controls to games that MS and SOny fans have already seen for ages is not going to make them suddenly want to play Wii. lol self ownage....

 

That explains why the most expected titles on PS3 are MGS4 and FF13, even Kojima outright says that he does have one competitor almost automatically naming FF13. Then again maybe some of those players have not accompanied those franchises since they were born and could not fall into that category. Well I do and either way I'm not tired of them.

 

Quite frankly, I'm much more interested in what the Wii could bring to the market then any of the other consoles are doing wich is preatty much trying to create something that has been out on the market for a long long time wich is a PC. There are many valid points for that too and only a blind person can't see them.

 

If Wii was not out at this moment in the console race imo it would be extremely boring and uninteresting on what this particular gen could offer in the future and at this point in time as well. Right now imo the only problem standing in the way of Nintendo and the biggest problem gamers had in general with the last Nintendo consoles was its 3rd party support and its a little early to be jumping on the gun on this subject since I have been reading from numerous sites (other then gamespot) where developers announce day in day out that they are starting to work on multiple projects for the Wii. Now we will have to wait and see if E3 will actually prove this.

out of 15 games 9 of them are VC games....  The other 6 except for zelda = a JOKE and even Zelda TP is a GC port.....  The systems game line up is horrid, and I would take the PS3's or Xbox 360's ANY day.

That article will tell you right there, that even Miyamoto knows that 3rd party games = weak sauce on the Wii, and he wants it to change, but why should ? or would they ? they already know that they got a good thing going ! put out a crap game on the wii that took 6 months to put together, and then sit back and watch the sales roll in, and in the mean time sheep on these boards claim that these games are "fun".   yea.....

O yea.... because the entire game libary is made up of "mini game" type games, and it has such titles as Wario ware, Cooking mama, Elibits, Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Wii play, Wii sports, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Super Monkey ball, Wii Fly..... and I am sure there are more :roll: yea that REALLY screams hardcore /sarcasam :roll:

And then take a look @ the systems top rated games :

First of all, your whole comment on the top 15 games is just stupid. Hey, these games are AAA, but they're a joke anyways. :| That's just plain Damage Control. not only that, but the main word in there is "YOU," when it comes to the game line up. I would take the wii's over the other 2. Not only that, but you once those games come out, you'll see a huge increase in sales. Those games are system sellers. I could say the same thing about the PS3 and how MGS and FF13 won't increase sales, but then i'd be lying. Lastly, your complaining that Nintendo is trying to get more third party support and more sales? :| because a company sells consoles out of the goodness of their hearts.... Your also just assuming that ALL third party games are going to be crap, and some of them out right now aren't, like Rayman and Madden. Don't just jump to illogical, and flawed conclusions.

:lol:

1st off out of those 15 games only ONE of them is AAA and that is Wario Ware @ 9.1 and I am Soooooo sure it deserved it :roll:  http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?type=top_rated&platform=1031&page_type=games&tag=subnav;top_games

2nd off this bit.... " Not only that, but you once those games come out, you'll see a huge increase in sales. Those games are system sellers. I could say the same thing about the PS3 and how MGS and FF13 won't increase sales, but then i'd be lying. "

Who is talking about system sales ? we are talking about appealing to Hardcore gamers ?  trying to change the subject ?

ROFL :lol: so according to this part " Lastly, your complaining that Nintendo is trying to get more third party support and more sales? :| because a company sells consoles out of the goodness of their hearts.... " 

Are you seriously trying to say that Nintendo is not in this buisness to make profits ? and they are just selling consoles to entertain people ? :lol: you have alot to learn.

and then this bit "Your also just assuming that ALL third party games are going to be crap, and some of them out right now aren't, like Rayman and Madden. Don't just jump to illogical, and flawed conclusions."

no, no, no, no..... you did not read.  Mr Miyamoto is the one that is thinking this based on his comments in the article I linked.  When he is the one asking for less "4th string dev teams" to be the ones making the Wii games, thats a sign......   And Rayman and Madden not being crap ? again thats "YOUR" opinion, mine is they "ARE" crap.  So maybe you should not jump to illogical, and flawed conclussions next time huh ? kthx bye.

"Hardcore" gamers are running with the Wii60.  Just so you know.  Not that "hardcore" gamers who only own a Wii are going to be left out in the cold.  Seems to be at least three "hardcore" games coming out for the Wii within a year.  If they score well or not is another matter.

Congratulations you just named all of the mini games available on the Wii in that list and some that aren't even mini games. Not to mention that you missed a truck full of games that aren't comprised of those.

 

In any case if you can't even slightly enjoy some of the games in that list then thats your problem. I can be a dedicated gamer (Hardcore gamer) and still enjoy some of those games, hell Jeff did but then again you're probably more hardcore then me and him combined for completely baseless reasons.

 

Why I'm even putting some thought or arguing about stupid misconceptions that will ultimately blow some individuals hair back is beyond me.

[QUOTE="Rip870"]

[QUOTE="Arsuz"][QUOTE="lordlors"]I'm a hardcore PC gamer and the Wii interested me. I got my wii already and its pretty much making me play it more than my PC. Zelda, RE4 for the cube. (I was never into consoles until Wii got me interested)Arsuz

Same here. Haven't had a console since the Sega Megadrive (Genessis). Now I play it allmost as much as my pc.

So what is it with the wii that make you so interested then.

Well, it's different. The other consoles are just a sad attempt at copying the PC. There is nothing an x360 or ps3 can do that my computer can't except ease of use. But the wii is a different story. It's pure fun. It's not pretending to be a pc. Even my parents dig it.

That's the main attraction right there. 360 and PS3 are just dedicated computers. The Wii is something entirely unique.

I find the TC's assumption that playing FPS's makes you a hardcore gamer funny.

The Wii will never be considered by a hardcore gamer because hardcore gamers like myself like good graphics and intense gameplay. Wii can never do that plus it does nto have HD or dolby digital. It doesn't even have online as yet and this is 2007. I lost interest in Nintendo products after the SNES.

I agree with you and I don't know if there is an answer.wmc540

Seriously. I applaud their looking into the mass audience and a wider demographic. But the Wii as it stands doesn't cater to the hardcore demographic.

100% agree.

I think hardcore gamers take themselves way too seriously.  It's like:

"Hi, I'm a hardcore gamer.  I've blown off 200 people's faces off with a shotgun, killed 1000 zombies with a chainsaw, beaten 69 prositutes to death with a baseball bat, destroyed several dozen mechs, imploded 1,000,000 alien invaders and blown up their entire invading army."

People seem to wear that like a badge of honor... or something.  I think the dumbed down version is "Durrr, I like blood and explosions."

Metroid and Zelda are both hardcore games. I would say Miyamoto is already on the right track.Boba_Fett_3710

If Metroid and Zelda weren't enough to get 'hardcore gamers' to own a Gamecube, it won't get them to own a Wii.

The Wii DOES have some hardcore games. SSBB, Metroid Prime 3, and Zelda are just a couple of the franchises Nintendo has for hardcore gamers. But, then again, I see your point. The majority of Wii games out now are for casuals, heck, even The Godfather was made with casuals in mind, and not the hardcore crowd. If this continues, I can see a HUGE flock of hardcore gamers moving to 360/PS3/PC (like I already play my PC WAY more than my Wii, and same with my DS), and then just leaving the Wii in the cold except for when SSBB, MP 3, and the newest Zelda comes out.

You mean Legend of Zelda is a mini-game, not an epic game?... On every system there are all types of gamers, not just one type.

I know, it is rather hilarous. I have been gaming for around 13 years and I will never call myself 'hardcore'. Once you begin to label yourself you cut-off gaming experiences and enforce stereotypes. Those who call themselves 'hardcore' use their spare time, and their money, wastefully.

nope :D

PS360 = hardcore gamers.

Wii60 basically means you play hardcore games on your 360, and then when you wanna play a mini game or a family friendly game you play on the wii, you know like when your grandma comes over :lol:  so you can see who can prepare a meal the fastest in cooking mama LMAO !
