Its been shown, even in this thread, that reviewers are bias against the Wii (and DS). We'll probably only see 2-3 games next year that get above a 90 on Metacritic. Games like Metroid: Other M, Mario Galaxy 2 and Monster Hunter Tri (and even that's pushing it). If we're lucky, some other WiiWare title or random third party title will 'wow' reviewers (like World of Goo and Muramasa did). But even then, we're not guaranteed a 90 or above. Games on the Wii have to fight 5x harder just to impress reviewers. And then they have to get over those bias like 'graphics' and 'innovation' to get the accurate score they deserve.
In any event, review scores shouldn't be a measure for quality of a Wii game anyway. And that's what I think we should go back to calling 'AAA' games anyway. 'High Quality' games.

Sadly, this is the truth. If the GameCube had been like the Wii and focused on weaker graphics for cheaper production costs, the review sites probably would have been bashing it like they did the Wii this gen. Near the middle and end of last generation, they already were. But just not as blatantly and not for the reasons they are the Wii.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
