I agree with just about every single thing written in this article. I'm a huge Nintendo fan -- I own every console that they've produced since the NES (with the exception of the VirtuaBoy). However, over the past few months, I've begun to lose my faith in them with their whole new "push" towards the casual audience. When the Wii was first released, I embraced the idea that "hardcore and casual" gamers could combine, but that feeling began to fade when I noticed Nintendo slowly but surely moving away from the core audience that games like Galaxy, and Zelda attracted.
