What are you talking about? IGN is one of the most Wii friendly gaming publications there is. Are you saying you think that Gamespot, 1up, Giantbomb, Game Informer, Game Pro etc. are less Wii friendly?

Hell, even Gametrailers and Nintendo Power are more critical of Wii games than IGN most of the time.

 

Personally, I think IGN is well balanced.  There are some areas where Nintendo is unparalleled but there are plenty of others where they are lagging behind the industry.

I would definitely disagree.  Look at their reviews of games aside from 'major' titles (aka Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros).  You'll be hard pressed to find a game over 8.5.  The majority of the games they review over that number are Virtual Console games that everyone knows are good.  And they throw a LOT of opinions around.  Mostly pinging the system and its 'innovation'.  But there's been some times when they even cite games on the 360 as examples (clearly showing that they are comparing Wii games to 360 games).
