I use to love Nintendo back in the day with the NES and SNES including the N64. I use to be a huge fan of Nintendo.....until now. As a kid growing up, I always loved playing Mario along with other platformers on their consoles. Nintendo use to be original back in the days, but now, they lack something what made them, the hardcore gamer. By going casual, Nintendo has lost it with me. What's funny is that Reggie Fils-Aime use to say was that Nintendo will only make hardcore games if it wants to. Which doesn't sound really perceived by the gamer on how they did abandon the hardcore. Now since the Wii U is coming out, they are trying to oappeal towards the hardcore gamer after abandoning them for a little over 10 years. Why buy a Nintendo console now when I've been wanting them to stay hardcore for over a while. PlayStation and PC are my main 2 and honestly, there are some games that are tempting to buy on the Wii, but not enough.
