I got my hopes up... and then had them dashed the moment I saw it was THQ.
Ring me when a developer that doesn't suck takes interest in the Wii.

You're assuming that the shovelware teams will be doing this. There are some quality teams at THQ. They may not be up to par with the quality teams of other developers, but the fact is that they are making an effort with the Wii, which is more than a lot of developers can say.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Like what? Their biggest title (that I've played) was Titan's Quest and that game was craptacular. It was a clone of D2 that failed to do anything other than be stunningly mediocre.

Ok, now put Relic to make some Wii RTS :P hmm no, wait, get a studio to work WITH Relic and make some Wii RTS, I still want my WH40k 2 perfect :P
THQ has been fairly successful with the DS, at least, the first iteration of their games was :P Worms 2 and Zoo Tycoon 2 both flopped, Zoo Tycoon 1 sold more than 1 million, while the second one barely crossed 60k.
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

I, for one, am excited about both de Blob and Deadly Creatures, and would prefer either of them to Saint's Row 2 and Frontlines. I can play generic open world and shooter games whenever I want... de Blob and Deadly Creatures both seem to bring something new to the table, and if it turns out well then I will likely get them. (And from what the IGN guys are saying, they are turning out well! Yay!)
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

Sega seems to have some good stuff going down on the Wii...
@alpha_dk--------> But we need aleast one AAA mature game for the Wii, atleast one with God of War calibre but what we only seen so far was no more heroes(niche), Manhunt 2(censored FTW), the Godfather(port) and Scarface(decent but not even GTAIV material)
Atleast those games are great :) but we need more :(

Those THQ quality teams can become top teams if they take advantage of the current situation and time the releases well, regardless if they release a game like Creatures then their working with core gamers and transitioning core gamers.
De Blob will be working with casual gamers and mainly transitional gamers and some core gamers. While that Cheer leading game will be working with casuals.
It's their best showing in 8 years so prephaps they can play this out well?
If they can set the bar, they will be remembered. But that's more business than anything else.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
