"After years of being maligned as a casual platform, will the Wii get some recognition as a hardcore system?"
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

This was an excellent read. Personally, I'm a huge Wii fan, and that's in no way because of the busload of BS shovelware that's constantly released. I enjoy the Wii for games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, No More Heroes, Super Mario Galaxy, the recently released Metroid: Other M, and MadWorld. Games like that are designed for both longtime Nintendo fans and hardcore gamers.
In terms of WiiWare, a lot of solid indie games are given a platform to be showcased on. Cave Story and Furry Legends are among my favorite downloads for the Wii. And while the Virtual Console has been somewhat lacking lately (by lacking I of course mean almost entirely absent), there are dozens of great old-school titles worth downloading.
keep it simple man, Seriously, with games like Mario Galaxy 2 and The other M do you really need to explain yourself further? Forget what these douche bag wanna be gamer journalist think. They wouldn't know a good game if it slap them in their face and called them mama. Just enjoy the games,, thats what they are there for. No need to set up a defense perimeter and go on why the Wii is great. Personally, i think the Wii is better than the 360 cause at least the Wii has exclusives that I want, and the virtual console is great too. If I need HD i just go with the ps3.
NEVER!
To me, the Wii is not a hardcore gamer console, although it has some hardcore gamer games like Super Smash Bros Brawl.
I cannot identify Mario Galaxy 2 or Other M to be hardcore games despite MG2 being extremely good.
