This is part of the problem.

Wii owners are far too happy to accept remakes of games and will buy them in droves, so developers don't have to try hard to get a game to sell.

People have just stated that they'd buy the game, just for the IR controls. So the developer can slap on some new controls, and it'll be a guaranteed seller. Why try hard to innovate, or change, when people will buy it either way? So the same people crying about Rock Band being a PS2 port only have themselves to blame, by buying games, simply because they're on the Wii, because it'd 'control better' (not in the case of RockBand, but you know what I mean).

 Some people view it as a problem. I just like good games, and I don't particularly care if they've been good on other platforms in the past. I've never complained when a good port like Godfather, Okami, or Bully comes to Wii. Heck, I don't even care about the missing features in Rock Band Wii. The reasons why I won't buy that game are intrinsic to the title and have nothing to do with online or customizable avatars.

I know that the new and original games will come anyway. These games are just quick and inexpensive ways to get good games into the Wii library, and I appreciate that. You'd have to be a pretty foolish executive to think that ports and remakes will be enough to satisfy all Wii owners for the duration of the console's life.

I understand,

But the same complainers of lack of Third Party innovation and all that good stuff fail to see that buying games with IR because it "controls better" is simply making the problem worse.
