I believe that Nintendo's only forgotten the hardcore gamer to a certian extent. Such hits like Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3 and Twlight Princess are what I consider hardcore since for one thing, they retain most of their original elements and can be very difficult to beat. Some games like Galaxy and MP3 have created some new original elements while keeping some of the old ones.
When some of the Wii features are realized and utilized by both Nintendo and 3rd-party companies, we may see a new generation of hardcore gamers; maybe even redefine the term hardcore. For now, we'll just have to wade through the 'dry spell' the Wii is under so nothing is certian about the hardcore gaming world for Nintendo. I haven't played video games in awhile so I may be a little rusty in what I've said.
