Great thread, Grampy! I agree with many of your points. Crappy ports are definitely a no-no, while diversity is a yes! Someone mentioned that if someone other than Nintendo made a Kart game like MK it wouldn't do well. It shouldn't. I don't need two of the same game. I want something different! It doesn't matter who makes it. If Nintendo themselves released a game every year with minor upgrades I wouldn't purchase it from them either. (But they wouldn't do that. 
) The fourth point rang very true to me. I like having games that anyone can pick up and learn to play, such as MK:Wii, but can also be really challenging if you play against skilled opponents. I've never really thought about that. Oh, the things I take for granted! I wonder if that's hard for a developer to implement. 
The motion control point is the only one I disagree with. I don't think developers should skip the Wii if their game doesn't work well with motion controls. They have 2 other controller options. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Wiimote and am greatly anticipating WM+! I just don't believe that the developer should force it it's not plausible. However, aside from fighters such as Smash Bros., there's not that many genres for which it would be hard to incorporate motion controls. The graphics point was spot on. I'm not asking for HD, but the game damn sure better look better than a PS2 game. 
PS - Don't let the trolls that entered the thread get you down. They fear the Wii because it has the same effect on them as the sun.
