I have no idea. When people complain that there's no games for their Wii, I say, what the fuck? Madworld JUST came out, along with Wii Sports Resort and Tiger Woods 2010. There's also a ton of others. Punchout, Excite Bots, EA Active, and Grand Slam Tennis. Those are all very different genres, too.

I mean, sure, it's not Zelda, but how often would they expect a good Zelda game? Why don't they pick up Rune Factory which I hear is an awesome mix of Zelda and Harvest Moon?

I say that apathy towards Wii is a lot more powerful than a few nerd critics getting angry at it for being "casual."

I think the problem is that 2008 was the best autumn of gaming ever, and Wii fell flat and had no representation other than goddamn Animal Crossing, which was a rehash of the DS game. Wii Sports Resort and Motion Plus are enough to revive it, but maybe it's too late.

Madworld was the true test that EVERY publisher was watching. They said if it didn't sell, then people would give up hope. And Madworld failed those expectations, but it's still an amazing game. Just goes to show you that, in the end, sales mean nothing.
