No, because I've bought too many bad "tide-over until the next big Nintendo one" or "Support good games on Wii" titles and then had them fail. I was disappointed with all of the following Wii purchases:

- Zack and Wiki
- Wii Fit
- Wii Music
- Metroid Prime 3
- Mario & Sonic
- Super Paper Mario

Please don't criticse me for buying games that I didn't want; with all of the above I honestly believed they would be worth playing because of the history of the dev (IS and Retro), the glowing reviews (Z&W and M&S), or that Miyamoto designed them (Wii Fit/Music).

So until Nintendo comes out with just one quality Wii title of the following series: Paper Mario, 2D Metroid, 3D Metroid, Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Kirby, Pokemon, Pikmin, F-Zero, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Luigi's Mansion; I won't be buying another game. And to ask for just one out of all of those series doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

All those games are new or different than the previous franchise and they all use the motion control repetively. That might have affected the experience for someone who doesn't like motion control. Super Mario Galaxy and Brawl did not use motion control at all or very little or vigorously. If motion control does affect a game's value, one can look at Nintendo's next line-up and recent ones and conclude that the Wii might not fit that person's taste. So if you are that person, I say, give up hope on that  3rd game since motion plus control represents the final decision Nintendo plans to do with future Wii games

EDIT: I meant motion plus.

Yes, I am afraid of that. But my problem in MP3 and SPM (the two games most relevant to this) wasn't really the motion control but the huge change in gameplay (Metroid made more linear and FPS-like; Paper Mario removing the RPG and exploration elements to a large extent). However, I liked Kirby Power Paintbrush over previous Kirby games due to the change in gameplay and controls for the touchscreen.
