Mushroom Men explains the lack of hardcore Wii games

“When initially released, [Nintendo] seemed as if they were purposely going after a more casual market. Once publishers (and developers) realized the hysteria that followed, a lot of shovel wear was thrown at the system that would turn any proper hardcore gamer off. But the system is capable of doing some tremendous things, and there is definitely enough of gamers out there who are eager for some real games. For an indie developer, it is actually a great platform to introduce a new IP. We hope that Nintendo supports more third-party developers so quality content can be added to their console.” – Mushroom Men lead developer
Over the next few months, I believe we’ll begin to see more and more hardcore Wii games. The Conduit, MadWorld, Deadly Creatures, and more are all on the way – and I don’t think it’ll stop there.
