How about something more general then... major third parties are increasing their Wii support. Midway, EA, and Ubisoft have all said that they're going to be making more for the Wii than they initially thought... yeah, for now most of their lineups are movie cashin games and ports, but that's better than nothing, and better than what they were saying they were going to be releasing on Wii a few months ago...
Why?
Of course, the continuation of these claims of increased support will depend on sales of the games themselves, but on that issue all we can do is hope that the Wii does better than GC did at holding third parties. With all of the attention it's been getting since E3, that seems quite possible, to say the least... :)
Oh yeah, and EA says that Nintendo's first party Wii games are also almost certainly going to be $50, but that's not even remotely surprising or newsworthy. Remember, Microsoft's first party X360 games at launch were $50... The real question -- how expensive will third party games be?

Quote:In general, however, it appears that extremely positive reaction to Nintendo's Wii at E3, alongside the realization that many 'hardcore' game consumers will buy the console in addition to either an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3 has meant notably increased publisher support for the platform in recent weeks.
