I read that article too, I think it was in EGM or something, good article.  Nick also had a great article up on Segabastard.com showing how 3rd parties get totally f*cked on the Wii while Nintendo is making ridiculous amounts of money.  It sucks because I love capcom and if I owned a Wii Zack & Wiki would be a game I would totally buy, but apparently 99% of the people who own Wii's only want Mario and whatever game Nintendo is packing in with a controller that time of year.  Reminds me of the original Xbox where Sega's awesome games sold like shit while everybody just bought whatever shitty first person shooter was out at the time.

No it wasn't the EGM article (which I have yet to read), here it is http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/01/03/nintendo-drought-turns-to-nintendo-flood-where-the-rising-tide-of-january-wii-titles-came-from/ . Funny that the information is coming from a guy who publishes crappy games, haha.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Color me guilty. I keep meaning to pick it up, but the big N keeps dangling these AAA titles in front of me ( Super paper mario and Galaxy; next up is brawl); But it is on my to-buy list.
