I don't see why they need to change their style of doing business and creating video games.

With the direction video games in general are going(trying to please the casual crowd) I can see video games becoming really blah, and slowly dying for anyone who remembers what a real game was, making the games become very boring and bleh. Oh well, we still have 30ish years until this eventually happens.
but you are still ignoring the major point. if they put in 20 new nm's why did all 20 go to one group and say sorry we don't care for you to the other? all i said is out of 20 new nm's that a few should have been hardcore/higher level mobs.

yoshi is proving that he only cares about part of the base and does not care about the other part. this is the issue that i have with yoshi and wish tanaka was back in charge. if you want the game to be successful they need to cater to a wide range of people not just one group.
