No Mario Kart! GHEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what i was thinking!

I hope they can sort a a deal with Microsoft to be able to get Goldeneye, Perfect Dark etc but it's highly doubtful.

Also no Ocarina of Time, that's feckin criminal!

Out of all the actual Wii games, is Zelda the only exclusive one apart from the obvious Wii titles?

Out of all the actual Wii games, is Zelda the only exclusive one apart from the obvious Wii titles?

Yep it's essentially the only exclusive relatively 'normal' game, but then the whole system is about "obvious Wii titles" as you call them, so that's no bad thing.

If people want to play "EA Franchise 2007" the 360 will do those much better, much like the PSP will handle those better than the DS. But the Wii and DS come into their own with games built with their control systems in mind.

Having said that, early reports suggest that multi-format FPS games such as Call of Duty 3 have a huuuuuge advantage on the Wii due to the control mechanism employed, surpassing even the keyboard/mouse combo of a PC.
