Dosen't give Wii the excuse to leave next gen graphics out, even my mobile phone has better graphics than Wii, I personaly don't know why people would buy it when you could get a 360 for another £50.
Old games for Sega Mega Drive and Playstation One were great without good graphics, but that was then, the games were much different (graphics and just the whole games) then than they are now. Nowadays to be fully immersed in a game it needs to be as realistic as possible in one way or another and graphics are a major part of the game industry, proberbly why OWI made MO 3D instead of 2D.
I agree with Moxco when it comes to the whole interactivity stuff, what's wrong with a standard controler? I will be using them until their not made anymore.
EDIT: Venks, your right about progression, but as long as they give users a choice of pad or some next way of control it's cush.

There's nothing wrong with having a preference for classic controllers and better graphics. No one's stopping you from choosing a 360/PS3 over a Wii. The Wii was a very smart idea for Nintendo it was all economical. By making it pretty much GameCube++ rather then a full transition it allowed the people who developed on the Game Cube to use familiar tools and quickly continue to produce games for the Wii rather then have to learn the tool set all over again. Also the Wii is a lot cheaper and therefor is much more sought after by the casual crowd which is much bigger then the hardcore crowd.
The Game industry is truly reaching its peak as the casual crowd are finally beginning to choose games as their main form of entertainment. Also just because the Wii's main focus is casual players over the original game fans that doesn't mean all of its games are shareware. I think its a little silly to say a game has to be realistic or have good graphics to be immersed in it. 'Realistic' games tend to be full of gritty colors, bland characters(personality wise and appearance), and all of them have those completely unrealistic rag-doll physics. I have yet to ever fall like a rag-doll I just don't get it. I can play Ghosts n Goblins right now and be completely lost in its awesomeness. While the new Ghost Busters game(including the Wii version) with its awesome graphics frustrates me with its stupid AI and crazy controls.
Too many kids today grow up playing games like Gears of War or Assassin's Creed. I have nothing against this its just they then have no appreciation for older games. Thinking them bad just because the graphics are not up to par. Zelda: A Link To The Past is still my favorite Zelda game. And Bomberman is just as enjoyable be it the XBLA version or a old SNES copy. Sigh. I do my best to show any youngins the error of their ways, but you can only save those willing to try.
PS: Super Smash Bros Brawl is awesome. It's the only game I've played consistently for over a year. Sure I still play Earthbound or ActRaiser II now and then and have played every Poke'mon game since I was 10, but I don't play those every other day.
