Casual Gamers Ruined Mario Kart and Smash Bros?

by Andrew Clark (2008-09-24)



When it comes to the Wii, there is a strong tension between hardcore and casual gamers. Most of this tension is felt on the hardcore side, as they are worried the casuals will take over their beloved titles, and the hardcore will be showered with shovelware.

According to an Xbox 360 article, however, this has already happened.

...but the push towards the casual end of the gaming spectrum has profoundly affected the world of gaming as a whole. It's ruined Mario Kart, wrecked Super Smash Bros, and it's about to hit the 360 with all the destructive force of the meteor from Armageddon - except made entirely of shite.

It seems a pretty strong claim that Mario Kart and Smash Brothers, two of Nintendo's best selling and best performing franchises have been ruined....or is he right?
