Party games. But its best suited for FPS's, just needs some good ones that don't look ugly either.

No RT/TB strategy or PC-style RPG? Okay, they probably won't be big on the system, but we might [hopefully] at least see a decent presence.

I seriously doubt party games due to the fact that all non-nintendo party games *except rayman* so far haven't reached past 100 million.

 

Just go to VG charts.

I think that eventually first person sword fighting games will become extremely popular.  Everyone wants them, but unfortunately no one has delivered yet.  Once they do though I think we'll start seeing a lot more of them.

I think it may be on-rails, easy to develop for the Wii = less cost.

 not saying I don't agree with you or anything. I just find it kinda funny that everybody always said how well it would be for a FPS game and yet all that are out for it suck so i've heard lol

I think sports games and party games have the most potential. I personally want to see a Star Wars game where you get to be Darth Vader (Think choking people with force grip, slicing them in half ect. ect.) :P

I wanna see more rpgs.  Alien Syndrome is coming out soon though.  Looks great and the gameplay looks really promising.  http://www.gamespot.com/wii/rpg/aliensyndrome/index.html

They have a ton of weapons including melee ones!  (Shake that Wiimote!)  Lots of looks for the character.  I just wanna see more Action RPGs!

I feel this way too. IMHO this could be the biggest sleeper hit genre since the First Person Shooter. :)

Hopefully adventure games, but if MP:3 works then FPS will be awesome.

Seems like Sword Fighting and First Person Shooters are the biggest.
