yeah but the HUGE difference is that Donkey Kong and Mario are Nintendo franchises and the others are not. Street Fighter and MK have splitted their fan bases a loooong time ago.
If so why didn't Goldeneye or any other FPS (CoD) on the Wii sell as good as Goldeneye on the N64 ? Probably the most successful console for FPS at that time. Simply because the fanbase went elsewhere and this is also true for Beat'em Up and Racing fans that don't involve Nintendo characters.
I'd agree if the Wii was a direct successor to the SNES, but it's not, not even close.
Would they sell decently on Wii ? pretty sure yes, but none of them would beat their PS3 or 360 counterpart.

Goldeneye was also the first Wii FPS on the Wii that was even comparable to the FPS on the other systems. Had that not been the case, the game would have sold better.
The audience didn't leave for no reason. They were given no option to play those games on the Wii.

Sure I know though I think Quantum of Solace and the Call of Duty games (Treyarch ones at least where they released it at the same time as the HD versions) were pretty similar.
But the same would happen with other fighting or racing games series that are now "exclusively" on HD consoles (and some of them PC of course).
Even when the original Street Fighter 2 sold over 6 million copies on the SNES and the hundreds of thousand gamers that entered the series with Turbo, assuming that old school gamers bought nothing but Nintendo consoles and still have a huge interest in the genre or the series and will suddenly buy them for the Wii (in case they would exist) is more than doubtful.
