Shigeru Miyamoto talks with the gang at GamePro…

GP: The Wii attracts non-gamers, but what about hardcore gamers? What are your thoughts for the future of hardcore gaming on the Wii?

Shiggy: Well, right now I still look at the Wii’s sensor bar and the “pointing” technology we’ve developed as something that I think is going to end up being very effective for the types of games that the hardcore gamers like to play. There are also other enhancements to the Wii interface and developments being planned that are going to really make games for hardcore players a lot more fun and interesting.

GP: Many third-party developers are porting existing gameplay to the Wii Remote. What will it take to get them to embrace different types of games?

Shiggy: At Nintendo we really look for the right theme or the right subject or the right content that really matches the Wii’s unique interface to really bring that to the mass market in a way that is new and interesting for them. A very important thing to keep in mind when developing games is to find that new, unique idea that really takes advantage of the interface that we have introduced.

Cool! This sounds like some good stuff is on the way!

There Scorce and full interveiw!

Hardcore games on the Wii. Of course, this is possible. Now let's wait for the developers to deliver. I see some stuff coming out that might be considered "hard core" but it wouldn't hurt to have more.

Mabye now that wii has alot of people hooked, it will bring more of the hard core games in. I is excited for some of the stuff he talks about though!

Updates to the Wii, they have said that so many times, hope it isn't so much that I want to trade my old Wii in!

good old nintendo. always saying the right things to the fans!

The wii isnt 4 hardcore gamers just give it up. its hell fun though

I'll give you a list of hard core games that are coming and the are already out.....

-SSX Blur
-Super Smash bros. Brawl
-Metroid Prime 3
-Battlion Wars 2
-Super Mario strikers charged
-Twilight Princess
-Super Paper Mario
-Madden NFL 07
-Animal crossing wii
-Fire Emblen: Godess of dawn
-The Godfather: Black hand edition
-Mortal combat armegeten
-Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
-Super Mario Galaxy

So as you can see, there will be many many hard core games to come and still comeing!

I can see what CZMQFRG (WTF?) is saying though. The vast majority of Wii games are for "everyone", which means it is short and easy. That is a mighty short list out of the 100+ games that are/will be released for the Wii that are "hardcore", at least compared to the competitors consoles.

I think all of those dissing the Wii will be handed their asses soon enough. Metroid Prime 3 will silence the decenters, and there will be plenty more hardcore games coming.
