1. Rockstar and GTA. we all know the gamecube didnt get any GTA game which was unacceptable IMO. now what if Rockstar would have taken the GTA engine used for ps2 and xbox and redone it to take advantage of what the Wii had to offer. we all know the gamecube was more powerful than ps2 so there is no question the wii is. why not get a 10 man team redo the engine to take advantage of the extra power of the wii. that wouldnt cost anything close to 100 million it took them to develop GTA 4. maybe 10 percent of that max. then you release it along with the HD versions and there you go nintendo gamers finally have GTA(a better looking version than what they got last gen) on the Wii and they could have shown yes its not HD but it can do a lot better than what last gen did.
2. Capcom and Resident evil. yes Wii got two resident evil games(3 if you count the wii port of resident evil 4) that were IMO disappointing. Wii got two "ON RAILS" resident evil games.how hard would it have been for Capcom to take that resident evil 4 engine and update it to take advantage of the Wii's increase power over the gamecube? this was the most disappointing to me as i loved resident evil 4. seriously IMO it was maybe the best overall game of last gen and the best looking. i remember putting the disc in and my jaw dropping at the graphics. the disappointing question for me is what could they have achieved with the extra Wii power? we will never know

3. yes the mighty nintendo and their beloved(for good reason) zelda. we all know that zelda twilight princess was developed for gamecube and the wii version just added motion controls. the game was still visually pleasing to the eye. it had a darker tone and artstyle than most zelda games. so i was one of those people just foaming at the mouth for the first zelda game built from the ground up for the Wii. i was (foolishly) expecting nintendo to use the twilight princess engine and just update the graphics to take advantage of the Wii's power. now a lot of people defended skyward swords graphics and im not saying it was a bad looking game but it was just (from a visual standpoint) disappointing to me. i felt they could have done more and gave us twilight princess version 2.0 (from a graphics standpoint).
so sorry if that was a long read but those are my 3 missed opportunity from developers to really show the Wii had more under the hood than the average gamer believed. what do you guys think?
