The 2nd wave of Adventure Games
When you look at the Wii, you have to think of all of the possibilities there are for future game releases. Once upon a time the best games available were adventure games, and they were pretty much all on the PC. You had Lucas Arts bringing out tons of high quality games, like the Monkey Island Games, and you had Sierra bringing out King's Quest and Space Quest... and Police Quest. There was clever dialog, humor, and challenging puzzles. At some point, someone is going to realize the Wii's capacity for a new generation of adventure games.

Of course, cheap arcade style shooters are also a natural for the Wii, and even first person shooters, like the upcoming Metroid Prime 3, but those really aren't my thing. I played Doom, Quake, etc... I rarely get into first person action games like a good adventure game. I like something to immerse myself into. That is why I like books, and good movies. You can sit down and get lost into a completely different world. Adventure games are like interactive books and movies, something that action oriented games can rarely accomplish.

The Wii has great potential for all sorts of innovative games, but as the new Zelda game points out... people want adventure, and they don't want to use a PC.
