After all, a possible port, at the very least, of Rez would mean pure amazingness with the Wii Remote. And frankly, I find the 480p of the Wii to be good enough for my gaming habits. I love HD, don't get me wrong, but 480p is still pretty, and I still consider it "this-gen." But games are more than graphics. They have the level of interactivity (better with the Wii Remote in my opinion) and the possibility for a great auditory experience as well. Not much can top what Rez has done in the regard of intertwining these elements well.
But other games are pushing us towards the edge of Wii gaming this generation, some of which are on the way, and others that are still in my brain. I want to see a version of Portal on the Wii, somehow. And The Conduit seems like a godsend to the Wii core gamers (they'll surface when the game does).
But what else do we need? Lots of things. We need more online games, and with Reggie saying that more community features are on the way, we can only hope we'll get that. Ultimately, if Nintendo were the first out the door with the first console of the next generation, then we should expect these sorts of features then.
Which is exactly what I am anticipating. I expect that these millions of dollars Nintendo has mysteriously been spending on research and development is going toward the next console in the Wii family (they just CAN'T drop that name), which I call "Super Wii," and will be HD, have an adequate storage solution, use nearly the exact same controls as the Wii (you will be able to use the Wii Remote and attachments in some games) and have a decent online setup, but not perfect. And still no DVD player. Who knows if they'll ever do that. But they will have streaming movies online.
Those are my far-off predictions. Wouldn't that be fun?
