Ok, going with the new format of GUP in the lead up to the show, we'd like you guys to ask us questions about the topic.

This week's topic is going to be about 'Hardcore Games On The Wii'. We felt this was a good topic due to the recent announcement about Dead Space: Extractions god awful sales.

So, I guess all that's left now is for you guys to ask us questions about this topic, or decide which particular aspects you'd like us to discuss.

Considering the surprising success of the first No More Heroes, how do you guys think the sequel, No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, will do?

Why do you think Visceral Games decided to put a game like Dead Space Extraction on the Wii, when those games are usually not the type that a casual-Wii gamer would be attracted to?

How important (if at all) do you think it is for a console to be specialised or have a tendency towards a certain type of game?

PSN has made it so that there's a wide range of more casual games available for the PS3, especially the PSone classics (Spyro/Crash Bandicoot/etc). This makes it family friendly (your little brother/son is as likely to play for example) as well as for hardcore gamers. It obviously seems worth it for Sony to make their console go from the Hardcore market to Casual, but do you think it's worth it at all for Nintendo to attempt to go the other way (from Casual to Hardcore) seeing as that way around is mutually exclusive (Hardcore gamers can play casual, but Casual gamers usually won't get into hardcore)?


[Sorry, ramble. Ask me later to clarify if needed.]

With Dead Space: Extraction and other hardcore games failing to sell as much as they could on other consoles, how long do you think companies like Sega and Visceral games will cater for the niche market of hardcore gamers on the Wii?

Do you think the Wii's limited potentials and 'waggle' controls keep the hardcore fanbase from playing that console despite the few hardcore titles made available for them?

Do you think the majority of wii owners want to play a game that it is hardcore.
