Sorry to bring this up again (well, ok, not really), but I was just checking my "Recent Forum Posts" and I noticed this one that I never got back to. I've been too busy actually playing PS3 games (waiting for my first Wii game from gamefly).

But seriously, people, there's also no Rock Band for the Wii. I'm a little surprised that people that only own a Wii don't seem to mind EA skipping their system.

And fanboy RolStoppable, I'm sorry that I forgot that 2K Sports was bought by Take Two. Get over it.

As for people waiting for other games...well, that's sure been a tough wait since Metroid Prime hasn't it? It seems to me you've got about 5 really quality games for the Wii so far. I'm just glad I haven't played any of them yet so I feel like I've got something to play. I bought Ocarina of Time but that's about it from the Virtual Console. I quickly went back to my PSN games (Everyday Shooter recently out) while waiting for my Wii games to arrive from Gamefly. Waiting is no fun, so I'm not sure how Wii owners deal with waiting for Galaxy and now several months for Brawl.

But yeah, it's easy to say you dont like sports and that EA makes the same game every year (which, yeah, is true, because it's the same sports), but the systems that don't have EA's support fail. Look at the dreamcast. A lot of people do like sports titles, and I'd hope that as a Wii-only owner I didn't get screwed out of the best sports game of the year (NHL 08), the best party game (Rock Band), and the most innovative sports game (Skate).

But hey, sorry to bother those that don't like those games. I hope you're enjoying Wii Sports, a game that showed nobody likes sports games I guess.

I don't see why you're bringing this up again, it's a no brainer wii-owners want something else than the yearly EA moneymilking games. Also, you're talking about a lack of games while you should check your avatar first which system is actually having a droughth. Also, you actually see this system fail? if you follow closely, you could see it went from domination to pure domination.

The games I mentioned, NHL08, Rock Band, and Skate, are hardly cash-ins. 2 are original. I have my issues with EA as well being also a PS3 owner, but come on people, get new material. EA publishes a lot of great games.

I can not believe you are calling out the PS3's lineup compared to the Wii. The Wii has had exactly TWO quality titles in months! The PSN has more original downloadable games worth playing than the Wii has in total. Ratchet looks like it'll be rated higher than all Wii games except for 2 gamecube ports.

But anyway, I am not saying the Wii is going to fail, but it's clear that if you are an avid videogame player that you'll be hardpressed to only own a Wii unless you don't mind getting a quality game every few months and don't care that you are missing the majority of huge releases.

But hey, I'd be upset with EA too if I couldn't play Rock Band.

i couldn't care less about rockband, and no i don't mind getting a quality game every few months. I actually have a life and don't spend gaming 24/7 and i only care for true quality games, those who got a golden sticker back in the early days.
