RS2 was a good game, much better than the awful original. Honestly, it should've been a new IP, it was a sequel in name only. The sword controls in that, Skyward Sword, and Wii Sports Resort worked more than well enough for me.

As for Prime 3, as someone who doesn't give a shit about online multiplayer, I'm more than happy we got an awesome single-player-only experience.

And I didn't find Wii's graphics fugly. I actually found some games like Mario Galaxy and Prime 3 quite beautiful.

It was an oppurtunity window though .... one of the great failures of the Wii in retrospect I think is that Nintendo did not take advantage of that period in 2006-2009 in particular to create a new hit character IP. 

If they were ever going to find a new FPS IP for example ... that would've been the time, but alas a lack of vision. Metroid Prime 3 didn't even sell so well. 

Red Steel 2, sadly also missed the bus. Sold a meager 270,000 copies despite being a better game, by that time the Wii market had shifted from a red hot product for everyone to basically just the casual machine and gamers had ear marked the 360/PS3 by then for "real" shooters. 

When a window of oppurtunity opens, you have to be ready to take advantage. 

I wasn't talking about the market side of things, I was talking about my own enjoyment.

And Prime 3 is the third best selling game in the series.
