Personally, I'd like some more RPGs on the Wii. Right now there's just Opoona, Fire Emblem, The Dog Island and Fire Emblem, which isn't enough IMO.

I think the Wii is lacking FPS which is a shame imo.

the controls are perfectly set up for this genre, and still....nothing.

Sucks

Pretty much every "traditional" genre. Makes up for it with Nintendo and wacky games though...

Does that include games that are considered not that great because there is every genre on Wii but if you are talking about games that are actually worth a look in a specific genre then that is a different story. I would like to see more adventure games not just on Wii but also on the other platforms as well. We only have Mario, Zelda, Ratchet and Clank, and Banjo Kazooie. The Banjo game seems like it is more about building machines then it is about finding things and traveling. I don't really have any specifics on Wii but game genre's I would like to see more of are:

Fighting Games

Adventure Games

Action Games that are not hack and slash such as DMC and Ninja Gaiden type games

Adventure Puzzle game like Prince of Persia, Klona

This is soooo true, the wii has much more potential for RTS than an Xbox 360 and more FPS potential than a computer. More RTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

FPS, because Wii is perfect for them (well, besides graphics, but I'd trade those in for Wii-remote aiming versus analog stick aiming) yet there aren't any super popular ones. There are like, 1 or 2 mildly popular ones, but no super popular ones.

you have balls of steel. i wouldn't even dare to say that... put up your flame sheild. IMO the best fps is probably going to be MOHH2... noting the fact that there isn't that many FPS's on the wii. i think i can name em all.

I say Fighters but that's mainly due to the controls. I don't wanna have to get a stick but If I had any fighters on the wii, that's how I'd want to play them. There are some SNK anthologies coming out and Guilty Gear is out but not much else. If Street Fighter 4 ever gets released for Wii (it may, it may not, just hypothetically speaking) I'd surmise that quite a few sticks will be bought by wii only gamers.

I would say that fighters and RPGs are both equally under-represented, but I'm very hesitant to even try a traditional fighter on the Wii. I think I'll stick with my PS3 for fighters, but I can honestly say that I would purchase any above par RPG if one were to be released on the Wii.

With ToS2, ARF, new Tales of, Fragile coming out next year, RPG isn't the biggest problem. Right now FPS needs more love. RTS isn't traditionally big on consoles, so eventual stuff like Pikmin and Little King Story will be enough.

yep, and with NIS (makers of Disgaea) saying in an interview that they will be supporting Nintendo's console

just take a look at the DS, at first the DS barely had RPGs but now, its flooded with it (not that its a bad thing)

I came into this thread intending to say RPG's but RTS's have been so under-represented I can't even think of one. Little King's Story in the future but that's it.

theres also Overlord, Pikmin that Wii Ware game and Spore Creatures(to some extent)hopefully, this will encourage game companies to put more RTS games on the WII, Blizzard FTW!

I figured it was RPG right out of the gate, but I don't know of any good RTS games... (real games, Wiiware excluded). FPS is definitely lacking seeming there is only one I know of there as well. But even though there are a bunch of Sports games, I still think the Wii is lacking ones with good motion controls with a lot of depth to the sports... This thread makes me depressed, the Wii is lacking so many core game genres it is sad. (yeah... someone is bound to copy paste the 'Wii games list' in response to this aren't they?)

FPS in the future: James Bond, Call of Duty 5, Timesplitters 4, The Conduit, and Red Steel 2.

RTS: I don't care about RTS games.

RPG: uhhhh...... Pikmin 3?

Wii has strenghts in sports, platformers, action, and adventure.

FPS definately. I have a 360 which is loaded with great FPS but it's a different experience playing it on the Wii because of the controler. Im looking forward to the Conduit being the big one though.

Like every Nintendo console after the SNES, RPG's are under-represented. The N64, GC, and Wii combined don't have the amount of RPG's that system had.

And when ones like Tale of Symphonia are so hyped, it shows.

Im not sure about that, since the Wii's control scheme would be difficult for non weapon-based fighting games, although that might change when Motion Plus comes. Here's hoping for a new fighting game in the vein of Soul Calibur and Samurai Showdown when Motion Plus arrives

Racing/Driving!!! Like there Mario Kart but what else?

The rest are mediocre... Excite Truck, NFS: Carbon, Prostreet, Speed Racer and GT Pro Series.

I'm a huge Racing fan and the Wii isn't giving me anything.

RPG's currently on Wii- Baroque, Chocobo's Dungeon 3, Dragon Quest Swords, Opoona, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Super Paper Mario, Dog Island,

RPG's on VC-Breath of Fire II, Paper Mario, Harvest Moon, Shining in the Darkness, Sword of Vermillion, Phantasy Star II and III, Dungeon Explorer,

That's 15 RPG's, and even I've only played 8 of them. I don't know what rock you live under, but I would love to learn how to beat a new RPG in only a month and a half. You guys are beasts.

It's all opinion of course, but most of those RPG's for the Wii itself are average or worse.

And Virtual Console shouldn't really count. Those games were part of lineups in the past.

I always though Marvel was a beatemup/dungeon crawler. Sure you can level up your character n soforth but the emphasis is almost purely on action, not menu digging and micromanagement which are the 2 main characteristics that I use to identify an RPG.

I just beat the 360 game and am watching my sister try to figure it out. This is my most appropriate post reading ever. I agree with you 100% too. I'd even settle for a port of the PSP title if they change its name to Wii Heart Katamari.

Lacking in everything except RPGs (this is to say nothing of the quality of these titles). I don't see that the Wii can do FPS games well, firstly due to the hardware/graphical restrictions and secondly due to it being a family console. I don't think Nintendo are too keen to see many 18 rated games on it. Leave FPS to the 360/PS3 where it naturally belongs. RTS games really don't work well on any console due to the lack of a mouse and keyboard, the same goes for heavy duty simulations such as flight or submarine simulators.
