  1. GOOD GRIEF! I’m still trying to get a perfect game myself, never mind 2850 off them! My Dad has got one perfect game so far!

    *Puts Wii Sports into Wii* :-)

  2. Finally! A videogame record that doesnt belong to a “hardcore gamer”.

    Viva la wii, it has expanded games for everyone

  3. This is more interesting than some no-life hardcore gamer scoring this.

    I congratulate that man, proving that ANYONE can do it.

  5. How does someone who has over 2,500 perfect games not constitute a hardcore gamer. I thought the tendency to play a lot was the definition of hardcore. If I have the biggest Farmville, I’m not the MOST CASUAL PLAYER.

    That said, he doesn’t fit into the usual demographics, and I don’t intend to lessen the impressiveness of his feat, however, I’m going to guess he doesn’t work and he doesn’t just play in his off hours. That sounds like a hardcore gamer to me.

  6. Hey check it out! It’s Nintendo’s last gasping breath of relevance! Don’t you all wanna play Mario? :D
