This was always an issue with me. Especially considering NPC Mario Tennis was the best selling NPC title by far. I can understand not releasing another Mario Tennis after NPC but a Mario Golf would have been an easy 3-5m seller. Well worth the investment. At the very least a NPC Mario Golf would've sold 1-2m. NPC Wave Race also probably would have sold well. And if they had the rights NPC Rogue Squadron Trilogy.
Similarly a Star Fox using the wiimote as a control stick (which was brilliant in games like Sky Crawlers) would have been an obvious choice or Pilot Wings using the wiimote like in Wii Sports Resort (planes). Yet instead Pilot Wings/Star Fox 64/Mario Golf all come out on 3DS instead (which is also fine) but damn, couldn't they at least port them to Wii then?
Honestly, Nintendo leaves so much money lying on the table sometimes its purely baffling.
At least we got Punch Out!
