Good news for the Wii Hardcore fanbase, Iwata has stated that Nintendo is once again shifting somewhat to the Hardcore demographic. Iwata stated “Some experts argue that our success is short-lived and temporary. So, we now need to make efforts to constantly expand the player base by offering services and titles that can appeal not only to those who have never played games but also to those who play them hard.” Thanks for not forgetting us Iwata..
