Yeah, [it's hardcore] for the Wii. I mean, there are elements of it that are still fun [for casual players] and you can still get involved with it. But I think itÂ’s definitely more of a hardcore game than youÂ’ve got on the Wii at the moment.

The other thing that the WiiÂ’s done is opened a market for the people who perhaps werenÂ’t into gaming before. [...] I think this gives us an opportunity to show them that the Wii can actually do games like this, and it actually works and it can make good fun.

A lot of Nintendo fans are after a game like this on Nintendo. I think theyÂ’ve seen enough big-headed sports games and mini game collections for the Wii.

Nintendo fanboys tend to be quite loyal to Nintendo, so the people who are playing “Metroid Prime” and “Zelda” and “Mario,” they’re kind of after a game like this that does more for them than picking up a Wii and just doing that action [flicks hand side-to-side] all the time. I think those sort of guys are going to be fiending for this game when it comes out.
