I'd suggest adding Rayman Origins, though it's not exclusive to Wii and may not sell as well on the console because of it, it is still definitely a game Ubi want to sell, and all reviews so far are in agreement about its quality. It's also a smart move by them considering the amount of dough Nintendo have been raking in with reviving 2D platformers, if a bit late to the game.

 

Added the game. Originally it wasn't planned to be a AAA project, but it became one over time. And since the Wii version doesn't seem to be gimped in any way aside from the obviously lower resolution which doesn't make the game worse, there's for once no reason to believe that Wii owners are getting screwed.

As for the rest of your post, thank you for understanding what AAA means. When I see games like No More Heroes or Okami being suggested as AAA efforts, it's for the best to opt for self-censorship.

Yeah, what saddens me most is how few original IPs Wii saw from big third parties. By that I mean fun, unique concepts with enough budget and thought put into them to go on and become successful AAA  or even AA franchises. De blob could have done this, as well as perhaps a few others such as Zack & Wiki (a motion plus sequel which addressed the first game's problems would have been nice), Little King's Story (again, improved sequel), Red Steel (a 3rd game building upon the things the second got right and adding more content and replay value), Epic MIckey, hell even Crystal Bearers could have been turned into something worth playing with some effort. The only franchise I feel has truly grown on the platform is the Trauma series, which while fun and unique, is far from AA or AAA.
