Because there is no link in the article (at least none that I can find since DToid makes it somewhat difficult to locate them), here is the link to the interview:

What I fond most poignant in his statement about Nintendo was the last paragraph:
But Nintendo bought new products in with vast amounts of marketing money to launch these into the minds of the consumer and made a market for them. Every other publisher then very quickly developed DS and Wii products and we're getting to saturation now.
Yeah, no shit, but unfortunately we're being saturated with pathetic mini-games and non-games like Wii Music. If there's something that the Wii needs it's a load of games that break the pathetic mini-game mold, but I understand his reasoning.
Oh, well. At least it's coming out on the PC.

Whenever I hear the emperor say "Let me see your Face", I can't shake the image he want's to rape me.
Goddamn, the people in that game are so fucking disturbing to look at. It took so much effort for me to make an attractive female.
lol Yeah, Sharpless, I try not to look them in the eyes out of fear that they'll steal my soul.
When someone was watching me play, she asked "So are they all monsters?" No, they're just really, really ugly humans.

I agree with John B. Just because the Wii is saturated with minigames doesn't mean that's what we want. A good Oblivion game on the Wii (which is possible, so shut up) would be excellent, and we all know it.
Elder Scrolls would be possible on Wii alright..
..with 480p widescreen
..with gimmiky sword waggle controls
..with no DLC
Yay! Go Wii!

Of course they aren't going to develop for the Wii. Can you imagine how Oblivion or Fallout 3 would look on the Wii? Imagine diarrhea on bread, similar to Topher's throw-up on bread examples. Bethesda Softworks makes me proud to live in Maryland. Fallout 3 is pretty damn awesome from I've played.
It's weird to me that the same people who used to love the way PS2 games looked back when it was "current gen" now are the first to say that all Wii games look like crap.
Furthermore, I think that developers who wont make games for the Wii just because it's weak under the hood clearly don't believe in their ability to craft a good game. If you think you need 360/PS3 level visuals for your game to be interesting, they you're doing something wrong.

@Jonathan:
And I love how some people are still bitching about no Wii DLC when two major titles will allow DLC to SD cards.
I still want the "graphics > gameplay" people to explain the popularity of Mega Man 9 is graphics are so freaking important to a game.

Great news. I probably wont be done with fallout3 and oblivion by then anyway.
They need to bring oblivs to the PSP.

Set it in Summerset Isles, or at least on an island, get rid of leveled creatures altogether, restore all the skills that were present in Morrowind but got taken out in Oblivion, and make it so that you can always pay for training. Then you'll have a good game.
This is the obvious-but-still-good-to-hear news I was waiting for.
I bought Fallout 3, and my thoughts were "Fsck yeah, Fallout" and "Great, now then can get to work on TES:5".

I think Bethesda knows how to craft a good game, regardless of the technical limitations of a platform.
Problem is, in order to create a game for the Wii, it would have to be a completely DIFFERENT game from whatever 360/PS3/PC game they develop, and maybe they don't want to add that EXTRA game into their work schedule. There's a lot of Wii's out there in the wild, but it's still probably not worth the effort for them to create an entirely different game for the Wii. Their standards are too high to create a technically inferior version of Elder Scrolls: Hammerfall for the Wii.

Woohoo! I loved, LOVED Oblivion and so far love Fallout 3, as well. I tried to downplay Fallout 3 being "Oblivion with guns" with all the fanboy complainers before the game was released, but man, it's hard to shake the similarities. I didn't even bother to read the book or look at the controls, and it all felt very familiar. But hey, I loved Oblivion, so I'm not complaining.
I don't think we're going to have enemy leveling in the next one...they left it out of Fallout 3, which would seem to indicate that they learned their lesson or are going against it in the future.

I think the Wii could see a Elder Scrolls game. Maybe not the next one in the series, but maybe a side story like Redguard. Hell if the original Xbox had Marrrowind, then I'm sure the Wii could do one as well.
Seriously, this is the first and only game that has made me literally shout out-loud upon simply having an NPC turn to face me in conversation.
Oblivion is on my top 3 list. got morrowind GoTY for the xbox but they havent updated the emulator software for the 360 to support it yet ><
"At the moment we're not that interested in the Wii..."
read: Wii? the Wii? we don't give a FUCK 'bout the Wii. Weak ass shit that Wii.
yay new elder scrolls.

This is the best news I've heard since...well, since the news that The Beatles are coming to Rock Band.
Yeah, playing Fallout 3 I find myself frustrated at not being able to actively train my stats by running and jumping. TES is a drug.
The problem for developers in making something for the Wii is that it would require an added expenditure to retool or create an engine/pipeline to work well on the system. Or, you help pay another developer to work on it (like how Harmonix helped some other dev make RB1/2 Wii) ... which still costs even more money.
I understand it is hard to work from the top and then go down, but it still is a lot of potential consumers being under served ...

A good Oblivion game on the Wii
orange county seo would be excellent, and we all know it.
