@jarrod  im not picking on Smash Bros. (i have the game) but Mvs.C2 is also played at tournaments but that game is seriously unbalanced so I never take it seriously thats just me.  I had the cube version of SC2 and Link was the man. I would welcome a SC4 deal with Link for GC but since that didnt happen I'll just have to settle for Vader/Starkiller/Kratos.  I dont know about you but i love the fighting genre way to much to stare at my Wii and pray that it gets support. Screw that noise im going to support the console that has the crap i want. whenever they do support the Wii with a (exclusive, good) fighter i'll be there

I'd say MVC2 is serious as well, it also has a long lived tourney scene (though it's not near as active as Smash Melee/Brawl).  Any fighter that can support sustained tournament play is "serious" wether it's Smash Bros, Vs Capcom, Tekken, Virtual On or whatever.   Saying The VS games aren't "serious" fighters because they might not be as complex, balanced or technical as the average Street Fighter is like saying Tekken isn't a "serious" fighter because it's not as complex, balanced or technical as the average Virtua Fighter.  It just doesn't work... is Ridge Racer not a "serious" racer?  Is LBP not a "serious" platformer?  Is COD not a "serious" shooter?  Not having the highest barrier to entry in your genre doesn't make you "not serious".

As for SC on Wii, I'd say Namco screwed the pooch, but yeah it's too late now.  What would've worked is if SCBD had been PSP/Wii multi, with 1st party exclusives for each.  Namco should've really done a Wii port of Tekken 6 too, considering they already had SD assets in place for it.  Money left on the table imo, though Namco's Wii support has been pretty generally terrible.

Namcos games with the exception of UNS2 and Splatterhouse as of late has been pretty bad across the board sadly.  They're hemorrhaging  money, their games are typically average at best (for this gen, last gen they'd critically be called sub par), they don't bring over the RPGs people want, and they lack promotion.  Namco seems to be in a similar boat to THQ, with the exception THQ saw pretty big losses and decided to it might be a good idea to do something different than sub par games all around and make uDraw, so far it's sold decently well, hopefully they start to pull themselves out of their hole.

Anyway yeah Namco just either needs to step up the quality of their games or change their strategy and offer something unique no one else does (I would mention it has to be quality but I've seen unique products that are rough around the edges sell well enough to make the successors of much higher quality, Guitar Hero comes to mind)
