Forums - Nintendo Discussion - 3rd party support 4 the wii is it 2 late

let me tell u the real reasons why lots of game on the wii dont sell 
its bcuz core gamers have been disappointed with the wii so now they just dont buy games exept nintendo ones (I kno that cuz Im one of them exept 4 great 3rd party games)

now you might tell me that doesnt mean nothin
ok let me explain back in 2008 b4 I bought my wii I never thought of the wii as a console with alot of shovelware I thought the wii as an arcade console bcuz of red steel and House of the Dead and other games

so when I bought a wii for smash brawl and galaxy I really liked the console then a month later I bought onepiece just like I used to buy random games on ps2 but then I felt like playin a tps but just couldnt find one then check for a rpg none 

and thats when I realized that besides my nintendo games the wii had nothin to offer like the hd consoles cuz 3rd party just gave us BS so now that they r startin to give us good games is tough 4 me to trust them and compare to hd ones is like is always somethin missin

I bought monster hunter tri cuz I still support great wii games but I didnt buy red steel 2 cuz theres no multiplayer so for me if I wanted a fps it was stupid to get red steel and not bad company 2

the proof is red steel 1 sold one million cuz back then everyone I kno was talkin about the game like it was 10 times better than time crisis and the wii as a crazy arcade system now all of those friend and me got ourself a ps3 or an xbox 360

the truth is if the wii wasnt made by Nintendo alot of us wouldnt give a f about it
bcuz besides Nintendo games the wii doesnt get the same support Hd console gets



Nintendo made me a gamer so I'd be stupid to ever try to forget that                                             like so many people nowadays

I'm missing something. I just can't put my finger on it.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

My Wii gets more play then my hd console. And the fps titles on it are funner then the hd twins. At least imo. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is funner and more challenging then CoD MW. The 3rd party support is great for me, cant speak for anybody else. I have plenty to play and even more that I havent caught up on. My Wii is the funner console, and that is why I game in the first place. I swear that to this day no game on any other console in history has brought me in as much as Prime 3 Corruption. THE most engaging game ever made. You are Samus, and that is something only possible on Wii.


The great thing about the Wii that alot of people seem to ignore or not realize is that its based more on skill then either of the HD twins. Most of those titles (fps especially) hold your hand through out with that lock on crap. On a Wii fps you live and die by your reflexes. Try that rambo crap in Medal of Honor or Conduit and see how fast you get killed. Same with RE4 and the many rail shooters where its more based on your skill level then anything else. I know its cliche, but it really is gameplay first with the Wii. I can accept that. The hd visual dont impress me anymore so there biggest selling point is moot in my book. But this is all just my opinion



me too I play more my wii than my ps3 and my roommate's 360 that I only play gears on it
but thats bcuz I play alot of nsmbw,beat galaxy like 4 times and other nintendo games (now I play MH3 but thats an exeption) so what Im sayin is very difficult to buy 3rd party game now bcuz of all the BS they gave us b4

u kno I look at tatsunuko vs capcom I got the game but half of the characters I dont care even if I like more the way the game look than SF4 I played more with SF4 than TvC bcuz I can choose between all those characters that I like
and now again HDs are gonna get marvel vs capcom and the wii just got somethin good but bcuz of the tatsunoko characters its just good fighting game not great

The Wii actually has a lot of 3rd party support...the problem is it´s lacking quality support, the kind of support people would expect from a market leader...though, Nintendo´s next console (the 'N6') just might have the 'best' 3rd party support ever since the SNES..

No, its not too late.

Wii is in the lead and will stay that way throughout the rest of the gen. 3rd parties can still make money if they focused on making quality games for Wii as they do PS360.

If Sony can take a PSP game and upgrade it for PS3, then there is no reason a more powerful Wii game couldn't be ported to PS360 with graphical enhancements. 3rd parties are just being too narrow minded.

However, it won't happen. 3rd parties believe the core game experience can only be profitable on PS360 and since its combined market share is slightly more than Wii's then they have no real push to change pace.

This is why its mandatory to have Wii and an HD system in order to get it all. Kinda sucky as the games I have for my PS3 or intend to buy, I would have bought on Wii with slightly worse graphics and potentially better controls. But, I don't speak for the world.... yet.



@superchunk

Do you intend to buy the PS Move?



Is English your first language OP? I ask because I don't want to say anything rude to someone who isn't a native English speaker. Or is this some kind of cool kid talk?

I couldn't read the original post at all, it made my teeth hurt. So I'll guess at what you're trying to say. The Wii is getting good games from the 3rd parties now, took a while but don't let it get you down. Play games you like regardless of who makes them.



Your fail begins right in the first sentence

"let me tell u the real reasons why lots of game on the wii dont sell "

Wii sells more 3rd party software than PS3 or X360.

No.

At this time I have seen zero evidence that it will be a worthy product. Plus, this generation will be over in less than  two years and I would rather spend the $$ on more Wii/PS3 games than an add on that will more than likely have minimal support.

Even the balance board which is by far the most successful addon for any console in history, still only has a couple quality games.
