I've been saying similar things on other forums for a long time now. There were lots of Wii owners complaining about no 3rd party support. I had did some quick development cycle research and figured that the low end AAA titles would come out in the earliest of Christmas '08. Then coming in the summer to late '09 is when (if there are going to be any) the big 3rd party games will be released on the Wii.

There will be. Planning at several publishers is already underway. EA, Sega, and Namco I know for a fact but it's limited to just that....I know they are planning them but no details yet. Konami and Capcom have been coy with me but I expect something big from them in late 2009 anyway.

 

 From my understanding, Capcom Japan is scared of the Wii while Capcom USA gets it.

I know.Scary. 

Capcom got burned by the infamous Capcom 5 on Wii.   Not long after GC launched Capcom announced the 5 titles.  Only 1 remained exclusive, 1 was canceled entirely.   Clover Studios, which made one of the Capcom 5 - Viewtiful Joe, is now closed.

This has made then nervous to quickly support Wii as they did with GC and resulted in several "tests".  Wii has since passed them all and greatly exceeded their expectations for a few titles.
