It's not that Nintendo doesn't support the hardcore. It's that Nintendo blew their load pretty early this gen to take a commanding lead.

Now there needs to be some turnaround time in them developing the next wave of games. The casual titles I assume take a lot less time and effort to make.

And there are games Nintendo has that they don't show much on that should have some potential.

But yeah this summer is bad for gaming in general.
Zelda wasn't Wii-exclusive.
Mario was good, hooray!
Metroid was very similar to the Gamecube installments, only with Wii-Control
Kart got average reviews and didn't most people get bored of it after day 2?
Smash Brawl is a lot like Bros. and Melee, no? Innovative, I think not

Nintendo has certainly given the impression that they are less concerned about the "hardcore gamer" this generation. Maybe that impression is invalid, but based on what I have heard from owners of both a Wii and a PS3/Xbox360, the Wii collects dust and the PS3/360 get the most playtime.
