I just don't get the big idea with the Wii series.
But I'll still get a Wii for Nintendo's other, excellent first party titles!

I remember saying here on VGChartz that WiiFitPlus was going to be announced at E3. And everyone thought I was insaine, well WiiFitPlus was announced at E3 just as I predicted! So what do we have so far?

WiiMusic (Bombed no sequel likely)

WiiSports (Packaged with every console sequal coming)

WiiSports Resort

WiiPlay

WiiFit (highest selling Wii title)

WiiFitPlus (Going to have insainely high attach rate with the Wii balance board)

So what is next?

Wii Vitality

WiiVitality - a Wii title that takes full advantage of the Nintendo vitality sensor. Nintendo must have a tech demo ready to show the press and likely showed some industry proffesionals back stage at E3. I have no doubt that a Wii title will accompany the vitality sensor when it launches next year. Will the title actually be Wii Vitality (I really don't know) but Nintendo will want to package their tech demo's with the sensor just as they have with every new periferal they have launched!

As for what I think of the Wii series?

I think it is the most ingenious and hanous thing that Nintendo has ever done. Use the tech demo's as software that way you waste nothing. Lets face it Nintendo had to show tech demo's to show what their new hardware could do, nobody expected Nintendo to actually bundle those tech demo's with Nintendo's new hardware.

It's ingenious, but I also hate it. Because as said above all the Wii titles thus far are just over glorified tech demo's and nothing more. I hate the Wii titles with a passion and fear what their success is doing and will do to Nintendo. If Nintendo continues to boost support of these Wii titles what will happen to their traditional franchises.

Already this generation Nintendo has been abandoning its core franchises in favour or Wii titles.

Pikmin

Custom Robo

StarFox

Donkey Kong

Kirby

Pokemon

F-zero

Now some will argue Pokemon:Revolution was a Pokemon game, but it was truly a rushed Pokemon Stadium it lacked any story mode like Coluseum and XD featured. It wasn't really a Pokemon title. Then you can argue BarrelBlast came out for Donkey Kong, but in the end Barrel Blast was just a crappy racing title with the Donkey Kong liscense!

Why are we getting more Wii titles when Nintendo hasn't given many of their franchises any love. I'd much rather see a new Donkey Kong over the new Wii Vitality or WiiFitPlus. I'd much rather see a new Custom Robo then then any of the current Wii titles!

In the end I think the over glorified tech demo's should be WiiWare and not sold as individual games. They aren't really games they are tech demo's that show gamers what the hardware is capable of doing!

i was thinking wii art for the vitality sensor, you can paint or draw a picture and with the wii vitality sensor your art will change depending on your mood, and maybe they could add a music thing like in mario paint where you could play music off the sd card and depending of your mood the tempo of the song can change

and dont think the wii series are glorified tech demos, they are minigames but good ones. they can give third parties ideas on what to do with the motion +

I think the Wii series of games that I've played are great and they are some of the best local multiplayer games this gen.

I don't think the "tech demo" label is fair at all. Would people prefer a bowling game with depth or Wii Sports? Deeper Duck Hunt or Wii Play? I've recently played WSResort and as awesome as the sword fighting is, I'd prefer 12 multiplayer activities to try and wait for the new Zelda to add depth. Has any 3rd party game been able to match Wii Sports for it's use of motion?

Next Wii.... game? Nintendo are competing with non-gaming activites with the Wii series, Nintendo wants our spare time. We've had sports, music and fitness and I think Wii "relax" (vitality sensor) is certain so I'd expect something like Wii "reading", no idea how this might work. Wii "finance" maybe, Wiiconomics (?), something along the lines of the Tycoon/SimCity/Theme Park games set on Wuhu island. If anybody can teach us about business, Nintendo can.

Wii Music was the bad kid out of the family. The rest have been good so far.

I like the Wii but the Wii series does not appeal to me,it just looks dumb,I stopped playing Wii sports 2 hours after I bought the Wii and never played it again til I sold Wii sports to help get the Conduit.

It'll be Wii Sports Resort and then Wii Fit Plus.

I know it didn't sell billions of games... but 2.5 million is FAR from bombing. 

If Nintendo didn't make sequals to games that sold 2.5 million or less because of their "low" sales numbers then we'd be missing a ton of Nintendo games.
