Sounds good to me. 

Fucking casuals.

This. I don't mind casual gamers or anything, but Nintendo's appeal has always been it's core franchises. If this means they are going to focus on those more, then I'm all for it. We don't need another Wii Sports.

Nintendo has always been better when it wasn't casual.

We'll see how this works. As long as we have a lack of shovel-ware, this should be spiffy!

Turns its back on casual gamers? What about yoshi's wolly world and Kirby's Rainbow curse? Or even Splatoon for that matter or all the 3rd party and virtual console games? I'd say there are plenty for casual gamers in Nintendo. But I guess if Shigeru demands it, I'LL FOLLOW TO THE END!!

Least it gives me an excuse to finally get a smart phone ;&

CASUALS!
