The Wii's first year saw a lot of party games, but I'd like to think it was because those types of games are fast to make, and most developers were confused about what kinds of games Wii owners are interested in. Now there's so much competition, and more developers have had a longer time to work on their games, that other genres are looking a lot better all the time.
If there's one genre that I expect to be more prominent on the Wii than other consoles, it's lightgun shooters. They've done pretty well so far, aren't very hard to make, and there's a lot of room for new ideas. A few publishers are also probably going to realise how ideal the Wii is for the FPS genre, but it might take a while longer for decent ones to start arriving.
