I just generally think, a lot of the folks in this thread who proclaim to be "teh hardcorz gemez" and probably invested in the HD consoles, don't really believe in this whole crap about casual games taking over hardcore games, but really that the games they want to play, might just end up going on the wii, due to it being the most popular platform right now. Well i am here to ease your minds, it won't happen! not from the big publishers like ubisoft anyway. We will probably be seeing hardcore games on the wii coming from the little developers, like the folks making "Mad world" (tell me you don't want to play that game) and the "conduit", the funny thing is nintendo are also releasing fatal frame, and and Disaster Day of Crysis( DDOC being their new IP), and who knows what else.

Its quite pathetic how people complain that nintendo needs to release new ips (i think this is just another made up bullshit reason for some folks to use against nintendo), but they probably own more IP's than any other developer out there. There is only so much a small company (well compared to Sony and MS) like nintendo can do. At least every mario platform game has something fresh added to the gameplay to make it enjoyable.

To tell the truth i am a little disappointed that the really revolutionary control setup has not come about yet (in regards to traditional games) but i have every bit of faith it will. Playing lost winds showed me that some developers are getting it and actually using their creative freedom. there is also rumors flying around that monster hunter is looking gorgeous and playing amazingly. Nintendo are gonna role out these great games, but not on anybodys terms but their own. Truth is, this is disruption at its core and i think deep down inside every body knows it, just a lot of people fear it, so they will try to fight it.

As for me i embrace it. There is not may new IPs that have brought anything new to the table on the HD systems (actually i dont think there is anything), at least the Wii has that on its side weather you like it or not, Wii fit and Wii sports does exactly that.
