That makes complete sense. 

My hands shake, my body goes numb and a huge smile is slapped on my face just by the thought of StarCraft 2... I can't really imagine what would happen when I play it.
I just hope the 3D models aren't wierd. I can't quite explain it, but when you compare unit movement animation of SC to almost all modern RTSs, the modern animation seem slow and wierd.

Strange... no one mentioned Tetris! The ultimate puzzle game.

Hands down, Tetris is the most origional game in my book. 

everything exactly the same, only its all backwards. everything is a mirror imagecyee

Backwards and mirror image are two diffferent things... but yeah... the only difference is that everything on the Wii version was reflected on the y-axis (think math...) to make the GC version.
