I used to laugh at the idea of making games that were casual gamer friendly, and I also used to consider myself a hardcore gamer, but now adays I think I wouldn't describe myself that way. I have a wife, baby, job and shcool to tend to most of the time so I don't find myself playing games like final fantasy twelve for five to six hours at a time. I guess I'm more into bite size gaming nowadays. Games like gran turismo four and soul caliber are where its at for me lately, I can sit down for thirty minutes to an hour and save whenever I want, I don't have to worry about scrambling to find a save spot in those types of games. Really all in all what I'm trying to say is I find the trend lately that is making games not only good for the core gamer but also for the weekend warrior guys like me y'know, especially nintendo lately.
