message: World Of Goo released in USA is WiiWare, which doesn't belong in the list. However it is being released in EU/PAL as a real sku game you can buy in stores.

message: At this point with regard to the size I agree something more needs to be done. I think we went too far already by trimming out the developer, so I don't agree with removing any more information such as two release dates. In an effort to maintain the current information as long as possible I propose we spilt the list in 3 parts (at most) similar to the DS list. We can then add the developer back in.
Sorting by release date would begin to loose its usefulness beyond a 3 way spilt. If and when the list get too long in 3 parts, then I would go along with removing two of the dates like the DS list is now, but that is looking a ways down the road. Aether7 (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  2 new games 

message: Due to the size of the list and the recent title removals and adding them back in, I think some more specific inclusion criteria should be discussed. I think for a title to be listed, it should have more than just an official announcement, but also either an official title or release date. This will cut down on speculation. Dragon Quest X for example would not qualify because all we know is that it will be on the Wii. It has no title yet and no time frame announced. Now if they said "next year", that would be good enough. Agree or disagree? Aether7 (talk) 20:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Strongly disagree. If it's listed as a Wii game to be released, we should assume that it should be included until we're given proper notice.

text: Gqwu, While we all appreciate the work you have done on this article, I suggest that if the region release dates were that important to you, then you should have remained more active in any discussions proposing changes. These changes were proposed 4 months ago, and there have been no objections until yours now. Initially it was only the two of us agreeing, and no action was taken at that time. The discussion was brought up again in December with 5 people participating, and still no objections. I believe the time frame of the beginning of this year (given by FMF) was more than reasonable for active participants too respond. I believe we have consensus to move forward with the proposed changes, your response is late and therefore diminished.

message: Would it be okay if an extra column was added to this list that indicated which accessories/features each game supported?  The reason why I'm bringing this up now is that an article about Wii games with DS connectivity, formerly in List of games with Wii-to-DS connectivity, was converted into a redirect to the master list of Wii games, but there are currently no indications of which games would have the requested information.  
This would be best implemented by assigning each accessory/feature to a unique, single letters of the alphabet, then using a combination of these letters to indicate the set of accessories/features each game supports:
Analog-Based Controllers:
*N: Nunchuk
*C: Classic Controller
*G: GameCube Controller
Motion-Based Accessories:
*P: Wii MotionPlus
*B: Wii Balance Board
*W: Wii Wheel
*Z: Wii Zapper
*I: Musical instrument controllers, such as guitar controllers
Wireless Connectivity and Miis:
*S: Wii Speak
*F: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
*D: Connectivity with Nintendo DS
*M: Miis
Example: Go Vacation, which supports many accessories, would have the combo code NPWBZM.
