Most of the games you mentioned are spin offs or ports. I was talking main series, franchises. The RE games you speak of are two rail shooters and a port of a last gen classic (definitive version sure but still a last gen port) and the Maddens thus far have been PS2 ports with waggle added. I just don't see the same amount of resources being used to support the Wii as the other consoles thus far. This is changing so we'll see what happens.

Isn't that the point of this article?  The wii isn't supposed to need huge amounts of resources to develop games (according to this thread).

Hm, kinda. I kind of interpreted it as Wii games just being games like cooking mama and nothing more. Wii games will still be 1/3 or 1/4 the resources whether its shovelware or 'big budget' relative to similar endeavors on the other systems.

Amp: You getting lazy on me? Read the damn article ;) jk. Basically the way I interpreted this article is the HD market dev costs are so high that devs may opt to just make cheap Wii games instead, so core story driven, big budget, graphically stunning games will go the way of the dino..and he's sad because of it.
