Onyxmeth, it could have very well been both cases. There might have actually been some.....gasp....good games!...on the wii in the past few years, and those were the ones people were mad about reviewers rating low (I believe MP3 got this but I'm not sure).

Of course there was also a slew of horrible games as well. =P

Anyways I wasn't ever a part of the topic you're talking about, so I don't know for sure how it all worked out.

I wasn't talking about first party games, strictly third party. It's not meant to represent every single game either, but games on all consoles sometimes get shafted when they don't deserve it. The Wii is no special case and I don't believe it was ever a red headed stepchild. I, as do other people in this thread, simply think the third party support has gotten better and hence we have better review averages. No foul play involved.

 

 

Well there is one game I remember, SSX blur. That game integrated motion control better than almost any wii game so far, and I absolutely loved it. I also remember multiple review sites rating it low because it was too hard or "broken" in their minds, after playing it for like 2 minutes. Actually, now that I think about it, there were many poor reviews on many sites over games simply because the reviewer didn't understand the basic concept of motion control. Then there's the docking of points for "not including conventional control scheme".
