"The trouble is, there are no ambitious Wii projects, other than those made by Nintendo 1st party studios, really."

Maybe you should check out the 2009 lineup for the Wii first. I guess Madworld and The Conduit aren't ambitious enough for you. There are tons of games I can list. Just keep thinking to yourself that everything on the Wii is shovelware. Too bad the king of shovelware is still the PS2.

Do those projects, by themselves, balance the scales across the board?  Are they published by the publishers who are making these statements?  How much, exactly, do you suppose has been sunk into games like the Conduit?  Do you have a figure, or are you just imagining it was "cheap" like all the shovelware that weighs the average down?  If you believe its less expensive, on the order of about 1/3rd as much as a HD shooter... pray tell us what reason do you believe this to be the case?  

Are you telling us that the Conduit will be blocky, and have cruddy texture work, and lacking environments, like most shovelware on the Wii, hence it must be as cheap to make as well, since you believe that art quality is the end-all of development costs?  Or... is the project ambitious (as you say), and perhaps cost a bit more than you'd like to believe?
