News: Molyneux Wants To Combine Core & Casual

Peter Molyneux says no more Wii Sports - and more games for both casual and core gamers.

Legendary game designer and the head honcho of Xbox 360 role-playing series Fable Peter Molyneux has said he wants the industry to start bringing together core and casual gamers, rather than titles being designed for one or the other.

In particular, he has taken a pop at Nintendo's next big titles - including 2009's Wii Sports sequel:

"If we don't start bringing these two together [core and casual games] then eventually someone is going to suffer - either the casual gamers or the core gamers. Most likely the core gamers. If you say to those guys: 'Hey, the next exciting thing you are going to play is Wii Sports,' then they are gonna say, 'err, no thank you...'."

While Nintendo has promised sequels to core fan favourites Pikmin, Mario and Zelda are on the way, the Big N is currently focusing on releasing Wii Music, Animal Crossing and Wii Sports Resort.

But isn't there a need for these titles as they appeal to the broad Wii user base? And after all, some would argue that Nintendo is already trying to bring together the two types of gamers. Let us know your thoughts below...
