Like Bob says, the Wii needs more solid single player titles. Multiplayer is fun, but to be a great all-rounded console, you really do need something for those lonesome long summer nights when there are no one around to play with. For hardcore gamers (or casual ones who just like to play alone), single player is imperative. Doesn't look like it'll be a problem though, with Japan's top three 3rd party developers recently having more or less 'switched' from PS3/Xbox360 to Wii-development. The console is selling like crap, and developers are jumping on board salivating over their enormous audience.
This, right now, is the single biggest flaw in the Nintendo Wii. I'm personally playing RE4 to quench my single-player thirst, but until developers start developing and releasing good single-player titles, the Wii will sit a lot more than it'll be played.
In terms of "not-so-seemless" wiimote problems - apparently the Zelda team was planning on including 1:1 control of Link's sword with the initial release of the game, but wanted another year to work out the kinks, and Nintendo said no. If they can actually get 1:1 working on a game like Zelda... *drool* Or perhaps, even a Star Wars... With 1:1 light-saber control? *drools even more*
There is a *lot* of potential. Hopefully Metroid can get the FPS genre going, and the next Zelda that comes out will have that perfect 1:1 control with the wiimote, thus paving the road for some of the most innovative, fun, and ridiculously user-controlled games ever.
