Wii Fit is NOT a core game, nor a "content-oriented" game, does it have content? yes... what doesnt.. but the content isnt a continuous new and changing environment, its an utterly repetitive game, where you play the same levels over and over and over again. Nothing wrong with that, and it works for what it is.
but lets break it down, top 20 games.
M=mature, SS=significant story, HI = Highly involved gameplay, NRL = little use of Repetitive Levels, AAA = big budget significantly developed highly polished games

You guys can of course, swap around a couple X's where you dont agree, but the Wii is overwhelmingly lacking games that are generally "core" in the many respects that are considered to be the more defining attributes.
The thing that is most aggravating is that THERE IS NO REASON the Wii cant have more games of those calibers. I would rather play almost every singe one of the 5 x games for ps3/xbox with a WiiMote. WiiMote vs gamepad in FPS... WiiMote OWNS.
But Nin wont lift a damn finger to get AAA & "core" IP from 3rd parties. ZERO effort. It genuinely sux... last thing i want to do is be forced to buy a 360 or PS3 cause Nin is arrogant.
Flame on!!
