5I still don't understand why so-called "hardcore" gamers get so annoyed about games coming out that they don't care for. What they should be doing is complaining about garbage shovelware games...not quirky ones. Almost every publisher is guilty of putting out a piece of buggy garbage and wasting shelf space. Where are the rants against that?
And how has Nintendo abandoned them? Twilight Princess, Smash Bros, Metroid, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem...how can anyone think Nintendo has abandoned them when they have games out (or in development) for basically all of their major IPs? Some fanboys need to calm down and remember that games are about fun...no matter what games you prefer to play.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

"Hardcore" gamers also need to realise that in a few years, they won't be the target market for the gaming industry. With the video game industry growing among families largely due to the Wii and DS the proportion of "hardcore" gamers in the market is dropping and companies can see more profit in tailoring their games towards the masses.
