It's possible that Wii will be a haven for adventures, considering that Nintendo has actually released an adventure or two for DS. On the other hand, they don't make adventures themselves, so they might not feel strongly about them. Now, if the VC got a lot of adventures, most of them would be coming from third parties. These third-parties would want to announce their intentions as soon as possible, because if they don't adventure fans won't buy a Wii and they won't have anyone to sell to. But I haven't heard any announcements of third-party adventures for Wii. Then again, they could just be waiting for more details of the VC. Anyway, it wouldn't be enough to just have adventures on Wii- they'd need to be exclusive adventures, or else the Wii versions would flop (not having the adventure fanbase PCs have), and so much for adventures on Wii. But why would a third-party publisher prefer to release a game exclusively on Wii then to release it for PC? Only if Nintendo pushes them for it, and that brings us back to the original question: Does Nintendo care about adventures? It's too soon to know what they're planning.
