Which third party company is simply going to miss the Wii boat?

konami and square enix

I've been waiting for someone to say Square, because I don't think this is nearly as silly an answer as some people may instinctively make it out to be. 

Knee jerk response: they're giving the Wii DQS, Chocobo's Dungeon, and FFCC!

Next response: Crystal Chronicles has been heavily rumored to be in trouble (and was pulled from Square's Jump Fest), DQS is a spinoff and was not well recieved, and Chocobo's Dungeon is also a spin off and we have no idea how big a deal it will be. 

Add on to this that Nomura seems to be a big fan of cinematic stylings, FMVs, and has publicly praised the PS3, and I think there's credence to rumors that he's not a huge fan of the Wii. Until I see something beyond Spinoffs announced from Square -- DQ X, Star Ocean 4, Chrono Trigger, Kingdom Hearts 3, or something of that nature -- I remain skeptical of their actual investment in the Wii.  

That's not entirely true.

I never saw TCB on any Jump Festa list and I don't really believe the EGM rumors since they're so extremely vague. Chocobo's Dungeon isn't a spinoff, it turned into its own series nearly a decade ago and sells better than FFCC. A lot of people don't realize it but that could actually end up being SE's biggest seller of the 3 games.
