Dunno, I have been less than impressed with the Wii titles. As I've stated in other threads RE 4 on Wii remains one of the best gaming experiences to me. That doesn't change the fact that most titles I have not been fond of nor impressed. NSMBW still doesn't dethrone my favorite Mario to date which is SMB3(got it for my birthday when it came out many years back). Everyone here can hate on me but outside of the first 2 metroids I haven't been a fan of where they have been taking it at all. Muramasa and NMH remain my favorite titles on the Wii along with RE4, and SMG was a good game (yes I hated sunshine back then too and I still hate it now lol). I mean c'mon Wii has been plagued with rail shooters. Don't get me wrong I liked the House of the Dead games in the arcades back in D&B days I use to hang out with friends and stuff but that's it. Dead Space on the Wii was beyond dissapointing, and although the rest of the rail RE's on Wii weren't horrible, they still lacked alot.
Now if they are going to release other RE titles like dsc and uc they can easily use the RE4 engine and 2 player co-op both same room and online and guarantee hit as far as those franchises go, including dead space. Ninty prides itself with the Wii in the fact that they are different and are trying to offer an amazing gaming experience but they can take further advantage of what they got. When Zelda WW came out on GC I was like "oh no" then I played it.....still didn't convince me. Zelda TP on Wii visually did an impressive job, but gameplay was ok. At this point Zelda smells like a milked to hell franchise. Why? Because after the experience of Ocarina of Time the only one that I felt has come even close was Majora's Mask. Yes I also agree Halo, Final Fantasy are both milked franchises, so the Wii isn't the only one here at fault as far as the quality of games.
For example if M$ would open their eyes and realize that ONI was a good game from Bungie and could expand even further, they would most likely have a winner, especially with the 360's power.
On the other side of things we have other games Ninty could bring back and would be definite hits such as River City Ransom. I cannot stress enough how amazing that game is. For an NES game the concept remains fresh. A little cliche story but amazing execution with ....guess what...wait for it.....GAME PLAY!
Wii is on top and that has perhaps hurt a little their desire to pump out more amazing games at a steady rate. They have the money, they have an excellent piece of hardware, they have the install base....what else could they possibly ask for? See 360 and PS3 have been forced to pull out some amazing titles because they are at the bottom. Gears of War to this day is one of the best TPS with a refined cover system and fairly interesting story. Mass Effect series, LO, etc. PS3 has come out with existing long standing franchises like Ratchet and Clank, but also new ones like the Uncharted series and KZ2 which had a part 1 that was pretty much a flop in terms of what was promised. Resistance series, InFamous, Demon's Souls,etc.
I can't stress enough how being first has hurt the Wii's quality titles as they aren't first to pump out hit after hit. Yes I loved RE0 and RE1 (remake), also bringing back the MGS series to ninty's side with Twin Snakes was brilliant. Hey for all I know the Wii can pay square to bring back another great gem from the PS1 era called Brave Fencer Musashi using the Muramasa Demon Blade engine.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
