And Joe Kreiner is the one who has a problem calling Wii next-gen, not HVS. Take this from Gamasutra last March: "When you go to build out the particular platform that you want, then we do the texture creation for that particular platform. It makes it very powerful; it gives the developer the ability to share assets amongst their next-generation titles and their previous-generation titles -- or the Wii, however you want to fit that in."

That said, I also wouldn't be surprised if they tried to fill in PS3 and 360's weak spots like they did with the Wii.
heh- maybe we'll end up seeing some generic platforming games or something.

But shouldn't they call it a leap to CURRENT generation consoles? The Wii is more like last gen.

Namely... prove yet again that dual analog controls are trash for FPS gaming and the Wiimote/chuck is far superior...second only to mouse and keyboard. It doesn't matter how much better 360 and PS3 FPS games look than the Conduit. There isn't one FPS on either console that controls as good with the exception of UT3 on Ps3 because Epic understands that dual analog controls are shit for fast paced FPS action. Say what you will about the graphics, but the controls are what make the game more fun to play to me. Nothing is more frustrating in Killzone2, Resistance2, Halo, Gears of War etc, than having the drop on an enemy and you have to "tap tap...tap tap tap the analog because the crosshair just won't line up for the shot. Incremental movement isn't fluid enough. Then we get these ridiculous ideas like the Killzone2 brilliance of making all the guns have so much weight that it takes 20 minutes for a diesel soldier to turn around. Even if he's carrying a pistol.
Why can't I get this control setup for Killzone2. GG! You play the Conduit? THAT'S high precision control, not that shite you put in your game.

*very little else

Resistance 2 deathmatch though...a practice in frustration. It just wasn't as fun to play as Resistance.
Also, you make a good point about very little else being available, but Wii does have CoD: WaW online. Last I checked CoD was a good game. You might have heard of it but it's hard for me to keep up sometimes. MoH2: Heroes had a large fan following online for the Wii, I thought it sucked monkey intesticles but hey, to each their own.

Gameplay is boring. Enemies run at you in straight lines, you shoot them. Repeat.
Weapons are boring. Fun "alive" weapons? Try Prey, the scope that bit you in the eye.
ASE does not actually add to the gameplay, it is just a gimmick to collect bonuses.
Usage of Wii motion controls? Bad. Medal of Honor 2 had better, more immersing controls. Metroid: Corruption, too.
Speaking of Metroid: Corruption, that game stays my #1 FPS on Wii. It has style. Conduit? Not much.

Either you forgot to exclude Deus Ex from that generalization or you never played it. Both are sad :(

I don't get why people are saying you can't say "It looks good for a Wii game?" Why not? You can't compare it to a 360 or PS3 game b/c of the hardware.
