Thinking back, there were all these threads about Wii third party support picking up.
"3rd parties were caught off guard by Wii's success! You'll see. 3rd parties will start shifting focus towards Nintendo once they've finished up on their HD projects!"
Two years later, still nothing

Well in terms of Japanese support I would say it has already happened. I plan on buying around 30-40 wii games releasing next year. Almost all of them are third party. So while they may not be big name, high-budget games like the HD consoles get, they could be just as good or in some cases even better. I just leave Nintendo with the big names, and third parties could give good-excellent games that aren't as popular but of the same quality. Most of the DS' third party support started out the same. I do agree though that some people made it sound like the Wii would get all of the third party support, which never would or will happen. Also western support imo seems lacking. Hopefully that will come too. In conclusion this is how I put it.
Wii:
1st Party/2nd Party: Big Name Mainstream Titles, with a few niche titles (Sin&Punishment, Fatal Frame IV)
3rd Party: Niche, but Excellent Titles that are mostly/all exclusive.
HD Consoles:
1st/2nd: Mainstream Titles
3rd: Mainstream TItles, mostly multiplat.
So imo the Wii has BETTER support than the HD Consoles. This is because it has both Niche and Mainstream titles, where a good amount of the good games on the HD Consoles are Mainstream. Anyway it is wrong to say "still nothing" , because there is alot, just not the same type that the HD Consoles get. That is left to 1st Parties.
