[Wii] Can the Wii change the future of gaming?

The last game that I played/purchased that I felt was really original/unique was Katamari Damacy on PS2. We don't need a new "generation" of consoles in order for developers to innovate. So far for the Wii, I see sports games, a Zelda game, racing games, "kiddie" games (that licensed Nickelodeon or whatever stuff), yet another version of that game with monkey balls...

On the DS, Kirby's Canvas Curse was the first game I thought really utilized the stylus (which is unique to the DS) in a way that could not have been done had the DS not existed in the first place. Has Kirby's Canvas Curse changed the future of gaming? No. I have yet to see a "Katamari Damacy" or a "Kirby's Canvas Curse" in Wii's line-up.

In the end, developers are going to do what makes money for them. For some that will be innovating; for the vast majority that will be playing the "me-too" game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
