I just finished reading this very interesting article, and I thought I'd share it with you guys.

Please discuss rationally, and actually try to read the thing.

I just finished reading the whole thing. I gotta say,I sure hope the Zelda games don't become more casual. Also,the idea with the Wii Balance Board was pretty cool.

I'm afraid they might be right. Nintendo's realized they can put less effort into their games and make more money by targeting the casuals. I just hope they don't butcher every popular franchise they have and put all their effort into casual-milking. It'll be tough for them to turn Advance Wars and Fire Emblem into casual games because every game in both series so far has been a turn-based strategy. I don't care how casual-oriented it is, if you sit an 85-year-old woman in front of a TBS, she'll have no idea what the *crag* is going on. They could always completely turn the series around, but their entire fanbases are hardcore (Well, not sure about AW, but I have a hard time seeing a casual getting into a strategy-RPG), so they might as well scrap them both completely if they're not going to target hardcore audiences at all. What's stopping them from doing just that, though?

Nintendo's cheapness has started me saving for a 360.
