The wii's gaming library doesnt touch the NES

 

and why not? we are talking after 2 years here. The wii is getting DQ, nes had dq... FF is the only thing missing really. But the has the Wii series. SMG is an incredible, it is 3d so it is hard to compare to SMB3.... but i would say in quality they are in the same leauge.

 

Heh.

I was thinking about something when I checked the recent games on metacritic for the Wii...how long has it been for the #1 console seller to not have a big game during the entire holiday season? I'm talking going on 3 months now. I suppose you can count Animal Crossing but the reviews don't back that up. I find it really odd.

Also, I find it hilarious that your defense is "the NES has DQ, the Wii has DQ!" I think it's a little more complicated than that. Also, as other have said, it was pretty much expected that DQ would be on the Wii due to the graphical style of the game. FF had to advance graphically. I doubt the main series goes on the Wii.

 

Edit: how about Contra, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Gauntlet, Genghis Kahn, Ghosts n' Goblins, Gradius, Lemmings, Mega Man 1-6, Punch Out, Ninja Gaiden 1-3, Paperboy 1-2, Pirates!, Prince of Persia, Q*bert, Rampage, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1-2, Rygar, Shinobi, Skate or Die, Metal Gear, Smash TV, Street Fighter, Strider, 3 Mario games (although I only count 2 and the Wii will get a 2nd), TMNT 1-3, Ultima 3-5, Wizardry, and all the sports games that were the best at the time like RBI Baseball, Wayne Gretsky, Super Tecmo, etc. The Wii isn't going to have the best version of sports games.

 

 you do realize that the NES was already the age the Wii is when it was launched in NA... It came out in 83 in Japan (I think)
