So head on through and check out our list, starting from the least severe on to something that would surely kill us if we read it.

The only one that broke me was #6...

#1 I respect the Wii Friend Code. I've been online too long with annoying 14-year-olds, short-tempered adults, and look-downers... The Wii Friend Code is a blessing in disguise.
#2 ...so? Why would a highly-graphical game go to the Wii? - (The Wii cares not)- If anything, they should make another version of RE only for the Wii (Other than RE:OC)...
#3 Meh... I can wait to see if anything happens...
#4 It's not like it won't be able to in the future.
#5 ...I guess, but I don't play Rock Band. :(
#6 ... :((( I WISH!
#7 Meh, mine's just fine for now
#8 I'm not out of space just yet
#9 I can wait
#10 *shrugs* I've seen better games go without a sequel... it'd be nice though

You know what'd be a heartbreaker? Voice Chat.
I don't need it, but a lotta' people do.
Oh oh oh, even worse... ultimate connectivity... the ability to connect to any wireless device and make use of it. Why? Because the Wii's just too cool for itself... O_o

If they release a Wii 1.5 in the next year of two I'll probably buy an 360. We don't want to see Nintendo take the Sega route of ditching newly released hardware before their time. Do we?

And I'd love a NMH sequel. I'd do many things for a sequel. Many things.

The Rock Band one is especially heart breaking. I want that downloadable content! I guess this is related to the hard drive.

Besides No More Heroes and Zelda, I'm eager for news that Red Steel 2 will greatly improve on the first game. VERY eager. Don't play with my heart today.

I agree with Soshikitai, most of these seem a bit too far out

Except for the HardDrive one, there have been hints about that, even in the face of Nintendo's official denials, floating about

# 6 was a joke ?!?!? i read somewhere about 5 days ago that there was going to be a DLC channel for SSBB and Zelda and stuff ... :(( :(( :(( a rumour on http://www.n4g.com/wii/ ... darn it

And you seriously believed it? *sigh*

Ooh... here's some good let-downs I made up:

-That fly-swatting game from Mario Paint, as a cheap Wii Ware game ... (what? am I the only one who would get that?)

-Or even simpler: Mario Paint for the Virtual Console, with WiFi trade ability

-though not Wii: SSBB for DS! ... yeah, it'd be limited, but it'd be SO fun for a handheld tournament

-Wii being able to use the DS as a WiFi extender! (because I so need that sometimes)

-N64 controller for the Wii (for those of you who still love it)

And er... that's all I've got for now.
