Nintendo NX: 11 Leaked Details You're Not Supposed To Know

5. Core Gamers Are A Priority

The great news keeps on flowing, with the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto going rogue in EDGE magazine to criticise the wave of 'casual' gamers Nintendo have drawn onboard. He said: "Their attitude is, €˜okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.€™ It€™s kind of a passive attitude they€™re taking, and to me it€™s kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself .

"In the days of DS and Wii, Nintendo tried its best to expand the gaming population... Fortunately, because of the spread of smart devices, people take games for granted now. It€™s a good thing for us, because we do not have to worry about making games something that are relevant to general people€™s daily lives.€ This is fantastic news, and shows why Nintendo will soon be capitalising on smartphone gaming territory. Focusing on core gamers means focusing on core games, and it's all from the main man himself.
