Im not a fan of Konami and Squeenix in terms of 3rd party support of the Wii, but I do agree that almost if not all of japanese third parties are supporting more and more of the Wii than HD consoles.
Anyway I like what Namco Bandai did in terms of third party support, a few promising core hardcore games then the usual lots of casual games for the expanded market, which both are quality games like We Ski, Family Trainer, Fragile and Klonoa. ESPECIALLY KLONOA, who cares if its a remake! I didnt play this gem before now I have chance to play it!
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
