My opinion.

1. Why create the market on Wii, when they have a big enough market with PS360. If Nintendo really want the "hardcore" games, Nintendo will make the market themselves and stop advertising the Wii the way they do (Family all around, kids playing, everyone smiling and joyful). When Nintendo make "hardcore" games like Uncharted, Halo, God of War, Fable... The developers will follow suit, and likely gain big sales.

The reason Wii is lumped with all the "casual" trash, is solely because of how Nintendo have marketted the console.

2. Nintendo are always releasing remakes, and dozens of sequels. Yet you think they are the best Videogames company ever. Why don't you all complain to Nintendo for new stuff, instead of the 3rd parties? They are there to make money, and are doing the best way they can (casual games). Nintendo on the otherhand, have made mountains of cash, yet keep giving the same franchises. Why don't you hate on THEM for a change?

1) there already is a market, just the developers ignore it. CoD sells 1m units, yet it gets 2 year old ports? Day & Date with the same features and I can guarentee it will sell. Monster Hunter broke 1m in Japan, which is like the 2nd best 3rd party game in Japan behind FFXIII. The market already exists, developers just refuse to provide the Fables, Assassin's Creeds, CoDs, and Uncharteds. Heck, they could have made Assassin's Creed on all 3 systems (with a graphics hit to the Wii) and they would have doubled their potential customer base.

2) Nintendo doesn't push out 5 new IPs a gen only to let them die at the hands of various developers (Crash, Spyro, and I'm sure Sony has dropped more). I prefer it that way, so I'll gladly take Super Mario Bros 5. At least it isn't at 13 and counting

That's not the point though. People are asking for new games like they would see on the HD systems. Hardcore games that take advantage of Wii. The market exists, but it's not known if that market is big enough to support say, Assassin's Creed or something. Resident Evil is ofcourse a no brainer after how 4 did. With the market they already have on PS360, they probably find it pretty pointless trying to recreate that market on Wii.

I'm not saying Ninty shouldn't keep making Mario games or anything like that, i'm saying they should be coming up with new franchises aswell to show the 3rd parties that the audience IS there.

@Kantor
I think that pretty much proves point 1.
