Interesting points about Wii.

I honestly think Nintendo has got it right with Wii/DS. I know that there are few people who have some lingering doubts about the direction the company/wii is heading, however, I am strongly optimistic that Wii will become iconic.

Good one pk76, read this one before was good to see what devs feel in this regard, also good to see what devs see as innovation as its often different from the consumers.

good post mate, I share your optimism on the Wii becoming iconic, its got the right ingredients, just needs a little time.

peace

Every week, a major publisher seems to be opening a new Wii-focused studio, which makes sense as the development costs are so low and the potential pay-off so high

Thats my favorite quote of the whole article. I hope it's true, I would love to see heaps of game on the system.

Pure speculation I know, but I think even game developers were hoping for a system like the Wii to help trascend the current state of gaming. I think they were also tired with another Half-Life clone they were making (with constant drive to visually jazz it up).

Wii is providing the opportunity to these developers to use their IMAGINATION again.

Imagine, an action rpg where one has to 'write' symbols to access magic during combat. Successful execution of magic depends how accurately you write the symbols - another dimension added to gameplay.

Or a Disney adventure game to target kiddies, where you must write names/words or numbers to proceed in the game. It will be educational and entertaining. A potential best seller for many young families whom purchased Wii.

Viva Wii Revolution!

Sounds a bit like gestures in Black and White which was an interesting game.
