Is there any hope for these games on the Wii?

I think it will depend on how long Nintendo plans to hold off before unleashing a new console. If the new console launches in Spring or Winter 2012 then I highly doubt many of those titles will come to Wii. But if Nintendo plans on keeping the Wii around a few more years then StarFox, F-Zero and other titles are likely to come. As Rol pointed out Excite Bike made its debut on WiiWare and the Excite franchise was expanded with Excite Truck and Excite Bots.

Honestly I believe Nintendo will be the company that decides when the next gen starts, whether they are first to launch or not they will be the ones who start the next gen. Microsoft and Sony are watching Nintendo like a hawk, Wii has managed to hold off even Kinect remaining the highest selling console of 2010. When Nintendo internally indicates their next platform is ready or nearly ready MS and Sony spies will leak that info to their bosses and wulla the next gen will be launched.

Personally my bet is on 2012 with a reveal of some sort at this years E3 or TGS or which ever show Nintendo decides to reveal it. Now remember Wii was first unvieled in 2005 just the controller and the name Revolution. So theirs no saying how much we will find out.

I think Nintendo may be saving StarFox and other franchises for launches on their next platform. Too many Mario's released over the past few years and I think they know they can't keep selling Mario forever they need some big franchises that people will pick up the next console to play.
