How so? It has all the majors, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros, the list goes on. That's about as Hardcore as Nintendo games get, and you have plenty of other options RE4, Mad World, several FPSs, and about a dozen fighting games, not including Smash Bros. Add that with the Virtual Console and Backwards Compatibility, and you have nearly ever game from about 2000 back, as well as any Gamecube game you damn well please. So again what's the problem? It seems to me to be the most "Hardcore" Nintendo has ever gotten
I completely agree, it had plenty of hardcore titles right around launch, which had me playing the Wii for about 4 months.
The problem was after that, they just stopped consistently releasing quality non-casual titles, the few that were released were far apart, and barely any were console exclusive.
Also, I don't really consider backwards-compatibility something that makes a new console a hardcore gaming system, all those gamecube games for me are filed under "gamecube" and not "wii"
