Will the Wii ever match the 64 in terms of awesome platformers?

Well no, I think. Rare's gone, and platformers aren't a popular genre of gaming anymore. I also don't think Zelda games qualify as platformers, but that's another discussion entirely.
And like HappySqurriel said, no platforming game that comes out now is ever gonna have the impact the N64 classics had. Still, Wii already has some excellent platformers. :)

I dont really think MS and rare go together... Rare and Nintendo seemed to work better together.

The problem isn't MS and Rare's chemistry , the problem is Rare.

They haven't put out much and their games have been mediocre.

Their N64 stuff is extremely over rated in my opinion, but they were cutting edge for the time.

Some key staff left Rare after the MS take over, including the top bosses.
