SSBBrawl came on a dual layer disc, MP Trilogy did and so will Other M.  The Last Story almost certainly will (Lost Odyssey came on 4 discs, if I remember correctly).  I'm pretty sure Zelda SS will as well, Zelda TP had a decent amount of FMVs considering it had to fit on a Gamecube mini disk, so I'm sure  Skyward Sword will have more and possibly orchastrated music or voice acting, all which will take up more space.  It could also possibly due to not many Nintendo games having extensive voice acting.


Twilight Princess didn't use any FMV, all the cutscenes were done with the in-game engine.

OT: There's two major reasons why Nintendo doesn't put every game on dual-layer discs.

1.) Disc-reading problems. Back when Brawl was released, some Wii-owners had issues getting it to run properly because of dust (inb4 dated jokes) building up inside the Wii causing disc-reading errors. They did the nice thing by offering free cleanings, but it still sucks when you can't play a game because your system can't read the disc right.

2.) They're not needed. Nintendo doesn't implement anything into their games unless it's necessary. That's why we haven't seen too many games from them that use the Wii MotionPlus or Balance Board. If they can fit a game into a regular DVD, then they don't see any reason to upgrade to a dual-layered disc.
