Is Nintendo reaching a turning point?

[Rai]

Here's the thing about hardcore titles on the Wii: the system itself has already propogated to quite a few homes, so if you don't own one yourself, you're likely to know someone who does. Because of this, it's easy to rent a title that could be considered "hardcore" and give it a run on a friend's Wii with little effort. Hardcore players might be thick, but they're far from stupid.

Also Metroid Dread is also in the works. It could end up 2D. It could be 3D. It could follow what Other M sets with the mix of 2D and 3D gameplay.

Dread's in development hell, Johnny. Clicky!
