Some companies like to push the envelope. Wii doesn't offer that for everyone.

Agreed. I'm sure Reggie could secure these games if he really pushed them enough to do it.. Plus he's got a 56 million userbase to help persuade them.

“I’m extremely disappointed. I’ve had this conversation with every publisher who makes content that is not available on my platform. The conversation goes like this: ‘We have a 22-million unit installed base. We have a very diverse audience… We have active gamers that hunger for this type of content. And why isn’t it available?"

Maybe you should localize some games first lol.

Moneyhatting is NOT the way to go though. Building working relationships with these developers/publishers and offering assistance in development for some of their titles would help in preparation from the future. Providing a little in terms of advertising and promotion. It is simple as running a commercial for Super Smash Bros., and saying also check out TMNT Smash Up or ____ title. If you liked Pikmin, check out Little King Story and ___ also exclusive to the Wii. Just a mention.

As far as I know, with the exception of Capcom, Square Enix and maybe Namco Bandai, Nintendo is really isolated, especially in the West.

Yeah, I get the combat would work, but the acrobatic, the character interaction, etc?

Capcom signed a deal with Nintendo to make about 5 games for the GC.  But Nintendo didn't subsadize any of their production costs like MS and Sony have been doing for a lot of the third party games on the HD systems.  Plus, Capcom later broke that agreement and released RE4 on the PS2.

No you can't.  Eventhough Little Kings Story doesn't have 'waggle' features, it does feature some characteristics that are unique to the Wiimote/Nunchuck setup.  Similar to button configurations and commands in Mario galaxy.  But regardless, there's just no Classic Controller option in Little King's Story.

Despite what the ignorant people at IGN said in their review.

Prince of Persia is on the Wii. That's good enough, I guess.

I wonder if third parties would bring them those games even if they were more in line with the rest of the industry in terms of technology. I just can't imagine a lot of these types of games on a Nintendo system, or at least not in such numbers.

  Buttons, with the Wiimote and nunchuk, the Wii has 6 easily accessible buttons (buttons 1 and 2 are a bit hard to access with this playstyle), as well as a D pad and an analog stick

well least he wants the core games on wii instead of just non - gamer games, thats saying he cares about there gamers like me, and thats what puts a smile on my face :)
