1. Sports games. Sports games are HUGE with casual gamers and the Wii is tailor made for sports games and companies like EA have already pledged full support. Actually swinging a golf club, baseball bat, throwing a football or a punch in boxing is proving to be a lot more enticing than the analog alternative. The success of Wii sports is proof in the pudding.
2. 1st party Nintendo liscences - classic franchises. Make no mistake about it, games like SSBB, Mario Galaxy, Zelda TTP and to a lesser extent MP3 are Nintendo's answer to the GTA's and Halo's that the competition offer. These are blockbuster franchises and continue to put up numbers that are comparable.
3. 1st party Nintendo liscences - New IP's - Games like Disaster Day of Crisis and Project Hammer are geared more towards older gamers, but more importantly are Nintendo's new IP's that will come in the form of Non games. With Nintendo's new mantra for innovation, new IP's like Nintendog's (DS), Braintraining, Wiisports ect. have become cultural phenomanens, and incite MASSIVE growth in the industry with non-gamers. Rest assured, these innovative titles will always be just waiting around the corner with the Wii. Nintendogs single handedly crippled the PSP in the handheld race, what will Nintendo have waiting in the wings with the Wii.
4. Classic games - VC - Nintendo's library of classic titles absolutely demolishes those seen from competitors. nuff said.
5. Mini game compilations - short and sweet without much depth. just how the casuals like em...
6. Other genre's of games on the Wii that have a lot of potential simply because of the design of the controller are FPS, and RTS. The success of the console will breed more games that Nintendo is not traditionally known for.
