I hope Sega kicks up some Wii development. Sega has some of the best first party characters in the market, and I would love to see them show up on the Wii.

I'm just hoping, because Sega has given Nintendo alot of support in the past for the Gamecube....so hopefully most of their major franchises end up making their way to the Wii in some form.
