Your reality sounds more fun than the one that those I surround myself force upon me. Apparently if you don't like Halo or Madden...well you might as well fuck off.
While I usually respect your opinion and writings defending the Wii, among other things, that first paragraph there could not be summarized with anything short of retarded.
Not that what you wrote is wrong... You just worded it so terribly, and generalized the hardcore crowd in a way I'm sure you'd piss and moan about if another writer on here wrote about the Wii that way.

What the heck is Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City? Is that what we call Animal Crossing: City Folk?
I never enjoyed Animal Crossing, despite how much I loved Harvest Moon, and how my friends wanted me to love it so I could "trade" with them.
In my world, "hardcore" means "niche," which is to say the hardcore know more about games in much the same way as music snobs know about music- pretentiously. Which isn't to say that they aren't correct- most of the time they are. However, no [casual] one cares about why this wine is more sophisticated than the next. For them it is about the community behind it. If Halo is in [in their peer group], Halo is in. If it's Wii Fit, it's Wii Fit. And no matter how much I tell them that Shadow of the Colossus or Portal are great games, they don't care.
The hardcore/niche are the outsiders by necessity. If they were anything other than art snobs, you'd simply be redefining the term.

I would like to cordially vote this article up with a Fap. No, really, brilliant! (Also, MS Paint FTW.)
How does DLC work for City Folk? haven't played it since last fall since it wasn't much of an improvement over the DS one and they TOTALLY FUCKED UP THE PATTERN EDITOR!
is there a list of all the DLC? or do you have to get it within a certain timeframe like on the DS?

you're on to something, but we/they don't necessarily need to be pretentious/snobby. just like people that listen to niche music don't always end up being snobs, etc.

@ Unicorn- If you have your Wii connected to the internet and WiiConnect24 turned on in your Animal Crossing house, Pete the mailman just shows up and gives you stuff. Free stuff. It's awesome.
The only thing you have to do is make sure you have an open slot in your letters inventory.
@ Vexed Alex- You! So good to see you!
@ NeoREgen- I think we are on the same page. I didn't mean to imply that hardcore videogame fans couldn't like violent, M-rated games. I was just trying to say that if they really love videogames, that's probably not all they play.
@ Rockefellow- Sorry to hear this post rubbed you the wrong way. Trust me, this wasn't a "pro-Wii" or "anti-360/PS3" thing. The PS3 and 360 have plenty of games that fit my definition of "hardcore".

Wait a minute! What will my dog neighbors think of this? Then again, I have a frog in my house and my frog neighbors didn't mind. One actually wanted to buy it...
@Jonathan Holmes
If i turn it on now will it back log the DLC? or just from now on when i turn it on? I just hate that glowing blue light. scares the ba-jeezus outta me when i wake up and see it in a dark room.
@Shadowstew
It was really a ploy to obtain the young frog and raise it up to be a respectable citizen... or to set it FREEEEEEEE

If they are real. Then Oh Sh!T! I need a reason to play because I've been addicted to the DS version way more than the Wii. Wii version feels a little bit of a let down compared to it predecessors.
"Hardcore" is about difficulty (or meeting "fail" condition) not content.
Mega Man is hardcore because you fall onto spikes and you die. Die enough, and you have to start over from the beginning of the level.
The new Prince of Persia is not hardcore, because bitch always saves you when you fuck up. Even if there are achievements for going through without getting saved, which hints at "fail", there are no penalties, you just keep going.
Completely off topic, but I feel the need to bring up what "hardcore" really is, since everyone keeps using it incorrectly! =)

@ Vanilla Gorilla- Whoa!
@ Unicorn- No, the DLC is all time limited. And wont get the blue light when your AC DLC comes in the mail.
