Yeah right. The 'Cube versions of most Tom Clancy games by Ubi were half-ass ports. I just don't see Ubi really taking time to do a proper Wii game with Splinter Cell. I see that alot with other 3rd party stuff. A couple of 'em are putting in the time. But many are just tacking on a couple of Wiimote gestures. I hope they understand that's the recipe for failure.
O RLY? Tell that to Sony...
In all seriousness, one of the reasons the PSone and PS2 were so successful was because they featured a HUGE library of games. True, many of them were uninspired pieces of crap, but in the end what the consumer will see is a HUGE library of games to explore, thus making the console really attractive and even worth buying.
The Gamecube library had a lot of triple A titles, but it was the lack of third party support that killed it because consumers were attracted to the PS family's library of games rather than Nintendo's handful of great games.
Also, the DS is filled with games that are made to cash in on the success of the handheld and yet that hasn't stopped the handheld from becoming a worldwide phenomenon.
The same thing happened to the NES, the SNES and the Gameboy. All of them had a massive library of games, but about a 100 of them were actually worth playing, but in the end it was the variety of games that impressed the consumers, not the quality.
So while I agree with your logic that the Wii needs top rate third party games they also need a lot of titles from the start in order to make the console more appealing to the consumer.
I admit I am not a big fan of Splinter Cell and I prefer the Metal gear series, SC is a well known franchise, and having it at launch will make it even more impressive, so I am all for it.

Then there's that steering wheel. A 5 cent piece of plastic. Ok it's good for a couple laughs. But seriously I rather have a real racing wheel. I can only wish that the game is compatible with the Logitech SpeedForce wheel I have for the 'Cube. (Of course it won't be, but...)
I honestly don't see why you are so annoyed by this. It does look a bit silly, but it will be bundled with the game, it will work with the other racing games available at launch and it's wireless. I have to see how it works before passing judgement on it, but again this is something that will help Nintendo along.

), but yeah I agree that 60 dollars for a whole controller set is a rip off.
