How On EARTH is Mr.Miyamoto going to appeal to HardCore gamers with the Wii?

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.

[QUOTE="wmc540"]I agree with you and I don't know if there is an answer.SemiMaster

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."RahnAetas

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

Mr.Miyamoto does not even know that they are people who want to play something else other than Mario.miss_kitt3n

Hmm I have to agree. I do play some games Hardcore though. Megaman, Madden, and Doa. But besides that I only casually and leisurly play games.

Speak for yourself, You want that.

 I want' games with debth too, but games that are just flat out fun are good too. Im a gamer I like all kinds of games. Serious or just fun. 

Why appeal to hardcore gamers when you have the opportunity to appeal to the masses?m3Boarder32

Or better yet be try to target both, which is what Nintendo is doing.  

If your a 'Hardcore' gamer won't you want to buy a Wii to play the exclusive games? Or is that not the kind of 'hardcore' you were thinking of. GundamGuy0

Reading posts about him working on the 'pointer device' and 'interface' to appeal to hardcore gamers?

those Hard Core gamers, the ones who refuse to touch a wii, simply because its just mini games and not epic, games.

i cant see anyone who loves and worships the fps on xbox moving to the wii. its highly unlikely.

like wise with ps3.

there are hardcore games for the wii but lately all is casual...moving alot of hardcore gamers to the 360.

im confused about this

BS wii is design to attract casuals. Their is nothing on the wii thats hardcore.

The only thing wii has is party games and downgraded lastgen ports

Did a sheep say ssbm = hardcore. LFMAO. Then another calls a gta game a casual game. Just because it has a wide audience doesnt make it casual. Maybe its the freedom that attract players to the game. Next we will get a sheep calling Mario hardcore. If any calls TP hardcore, I will die lol. ps3-nikita

Yeah, Ssbm has depth, is that hard to believe?

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.Strakha
