The videos of Tekken 6 and Soulcalibur IV are probably not doing the games' graphics any justice. If you look up Dead or Alive 4 and Virtua Fighter 5 videos and then play the games themsevles, you'll see a major difference. In their current form neither game can be released on the Wii. There would have to be downgrading. I don't know how much, or how much it will cost, but it's plainly obvious. There's also the issue of how you expect these games to play on the Wii. They do not work off a similiar control scheme as Smash Bros. The action is too frantic for motion controls to make up for lack of proper button placement, and you can use Guilty Gear XX Accent Core as a reference on how bad it can turn out. You can't sell the game expecting everyone to own a classic controller, gamecube controller or arcade stick, because those do not come standard in the box and only one option of those, the classic controller, is readily available in most retail locations.
As far as the broader topic of Namco not supporting the Wii, I call bullshit. They have three RPGs in development for the Wii. How many other studios are developing RPGs for the Wii? Maybe Square-Enix?
I understand you're a fighting game fan, as am I, but the Wii's standard control set-up does not lend itself well to the traditional six button layout most fighting games incorporate. We can look to later this year when SNK starts releasing their fighting compilations for Wii to know whether what I have to say is actually true or more of an isolated incident with Guilty Gear.
