yeah Brahm, those are some excellent 1st/2nd party games on the way. but the problem is 3rd party support, it's all lazy ports and the like, i've had ENOUGH of that shit! and that's when the games actually make it to the console... i remember with the gamecube fans missed out on GTA, PES, the burnout series and a whole bunch of games that were out on the Xbox and PS2. as much as i love Mario and Zelda, i'm not missing out again for those games alone. it's about time Nintendo got their shit together and got some decent 3rd party support.
also, reading the reviews on IGN, the Wii's control system seems almost forced on a few games. why the hell don't developers use that "normal" pad, or is that thing not out yet? on some games it's probably excellent to use the Wii's unique control system, but on others it'd probably be better to just stick with the original system. i don't mind, as long as it beats a clumsy "unique" interface.
