^Are you sure? There may be loads of DRE complaints but they don't seem to be intense. Either way, blogs weren't popular until late in the life of the PS2, so I can't really compare the two gens.

Precisely.

I had a decent time with Mario Galaxy(Albeit I rushed through it because it got stale and boring).

Smash Brothers is a fun game but really not much different than the Gamecube version IMHO.

Zelda was fun (Like most Zelda's) but it certainly wasn't the end all be all.  

Honestly though,  I think the overall game lineup is horrendous.  That's why I don't like the system.  There just isn't many fun games that I have played on the Wii.  The few games that HAVE been fun for the most part had little or no need for the Wii-mote in any way. (Zelda, Smash, Even Galaxy). 

I don't hate the Wii for being Nintendo, Gamecubes successor or anything else ridiculous.  I just think it is an extremely over-hyped system that in many ways has reached a 'fad' status for no particular reason other than pointer controls IMHO.  I feel it's one of those things where 'everyone' has one but a good percentage really don't use it or play it shortly after it coming out (Like myself).

Well, there is hardly that much hating on the Wii any more.

But to take you seriously, I will say this: Yes, it is the Wiis fault.
In short, the Wii was designed to cater to a different audience than its predecessor, and also the competition of this generation.
Game makers found that this new audience buys many games of a genre loathed by many a 'core' gamer, so naturally, more games of this genre started being made.

This was of course to much dismay of the 'core' gamers, and this new control method coupled with the new found popularity of this genre of games, made the Wii an object of much hating and loathing amongst many irrational and shortsighted gamers for a long time.

Nintendo creating games like Wii Fit and Wii Music certainly didn't appease these gamers either.
