Right now devs don't know what to do with the Wii. I think Nintendo did a piss-poor job of helping them prepare for the entirely different nature of the Wii. Expect to see crappy ports and poorly executed games until at least the holiday season with the bulk of the good games coming out sometime next year. It's unfortunate (especially since I have a Wii collecting dust), but I think that's what is going to happen. No one was prepared for the machine and no good game will take less than 18 months to hit shelves. Which is why I was so disappointed to see Sadness hit the chopping block. It looked like the one good third party game that I wanted this year. The good thing is that it's a huge hit in Japan. The Japanese and their love for quirky yet completely addictive games are the perfect storm for the Wii and Wiimote. Remember that even Nintendo's one "killer app" isn't even a damned Wii game. It's a port. It's a good-looking port but six months after launch, I find it very depressing that no one has topped a first party port from last generation.
