Nintendo loves "insatiable" hardcore

[wraggster]

Nintendo of America bigwig Denise Kaigler has cheekily admitted she doesn't want hardcore gamers' appetites to ever be satisfied on Wii, because then she would have nothing to do.

"I will give you that hardcore gamers have an insatiable appetite for everything Nintendo, and we love that! We love that," she told Bitmob. "When we get to a point where core gamers say, 'OK, Nintendo, enough! We don't need any more games from you guys...' None of us wants to be put in that position, right?

"We don't want your appetite to ever be satisfied, because when we satisfy you, it's time for us to go, 'OK! Let's go on home now!' And none of us wants to go home.

"So there's this sort of fun relationship, I think, that's happening between Nintendo and the hardcore gamer, which we enjoy and hope that the core gamer enjoys it," she added.

Kaigler said the unveiling of Zelda: Spirit Tracks at GDC was Satoru Iwata's way of saying, "Yes, Nintendo wants you to know that we are absolutely still committed to providing game experience that you care about."

She also challenged the "hardcore" and "core" labels, and asked if we liked being told what told enjoy.

"Or do you want to be part of a broader community that wants to have fun, that wants to be surprised, that wants to have this immersive experience in games that you can't find any place else?" she said.

Feed us, Denise, we're hungry.

Zelda: Spirit Tracks, mmm, not good enough, unfortunatly my wii is purely a Homebrew machine atm, there are way more good DS games then wii games. Started off so promisingly.

"So there's this sort of fun relationship, I think, that's happening between Nintendo and the hardcore gamer, which we enjoy and hope that the core gamer enjoys it,"

What an asshole... Fun? **** YOU

I've always disliked this woman. I wrote a big nice blog that had a chunk about her in it once...

Anywho...

"Or do you want to be part of a broader community that wants to have fun, that wants to be surprised, that wants to have this immersive experience in games that you can't find any place else?" she said.

Translation: "Don't you wanna be a tool and join a community that will give us way more cash for gimmick extravaganza party.. madness...? = D All the cool kids are doin it! And cause there's more dumb ****s *cough* I mean people that love to play games for two seconds a month, it must be the right thing to do!"

Also, being told what to enjoy? Us having good taste and us being in the position where we would rather not play a game that a mentally challenged chimpanzee could grasp means that we are told what to enjoy?

I apologize for the rant. I just hate it when these people come in all smiley and fake. The only reason they're smiling is because of their pay check.
