I vaguely remember after that 2008 E3, there was an interview IGN did with Reggie, and the interviewer said something like "A lot of fans feel like you guys abandoned the hardcode players." and Reggie says they hadn't, because Animal Crossing was the "hardcode game" of that year. Which, I guess he had somewhat of a point, but it was a far cry from Mario Galaxy the previous year. So the sense I got was Nintendo felt like they weren't catering too much to the casual audience at the time, even if they kind of were. And I think that point kinda marked the downward turning point of the Wii.

Also Sabi seems to be corroborating the rumor about Activision you mentioned.

Nintendo brought back King K Rool and Banjo ;)

True but I was talking about stuff that I care about and I'm not that fussed either way on those. Smash's depictions of them were very good but they weren't things I was pining for.

Yeah, looks like it'll have to be Simpsons. That seems to be almost unanimously what people are most interested in.

Yeah, I remember those conversations. I never thought they abandoned them outright but the concept of Animal Crossing as a "hardcore game" is nonsense. It's the most chill game ever and anyone can play it.
