Top 5 games that should be on the Wii… but aren’t.

It’s any gamer’s ultimate fantasy: “How awesome would a remake of Final Fantasy VII be on the DS?”, “Wouldn’t Halo be ridiculously good on the Wii?”, “Did you hear that they’re doing a remake of Metal Gear Solid for the Wii? Oh really? They’re not doing it? Well they should…”

These are inherent problems in a multi-console industry. We got a taste of this in the Hi-def video war, but Sony came out on top in that one. I have a feeling that the console wars will eventually give way to a single, universal console, but the how and when of that happening is beyond my comprehension. This list is sort of look into the future of gaming - to a time when we can all get along and all play the same games (without having to drop several thousand bucks on various consoles and peripherals… PC gaming included).

Coming from a very specific background of gaming, this list may be a little biased, but I wholeheartedly believe that every game on this list deserves to be on the Wii - regardless of who developed it and disregarding any difficulties involving the publisher or rights. A sort of video game transmogrifier. Feel free to add to the list in the comments section! Just narrow your favorite games down to the ones that could make good use of the Wii Remote.

Well stop panicking! Wii Pikmin is still on its way, as a Nintendo rep told Kombo earlier today. You can put away your pitchforks now. The torches, too. (Those little guys burn up pretty easily, after all!)
