I have to agree to a certain extent here.

3rd parties do not want the Wii to succeed, that's obvious. Square Enix for example, it's president came out a few days ago saying he expected Nintendo to have their HD Wii ready for 2011. The industry is against Nintedo, most of the companies hate them.

Even when Nintendo had its poorest years ever bringing 1st party franchises, third paries still decided to ignore and flood the platform with garbage and turds no one will ever care about.

Nintendo seems content with so many games being available on the platform since every game sold will give them money, but at the end it could bring them a lot of trouble when next gen rolls in.

I have another example, look at what games will the HD consoles be getting in Japan from third parties going from 2010 onwards (taken from another post of mine)

"Resonance of Fate, FFvsXIII, Yakuza 4, Lost Planet 2, RE5 w/motion controls, Dead Rising 2, Star Ocean 4 International, Sengoku Basara 3 (multiplat with the Wii), Super Street Fighter 4, Final Fantasy XIV, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Nier, Front Mission Evolved, Dinasty Warriors Troy, Dinasty Warriors Online, Bayonetta, Front Mission Evolved, BlazBlue: Continuum, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Quantum Theory, Trinitiy: Souls of Zill O'll, and probably more I don't know about."

The Wii on the other hand has from 2010 onwards:

"All we know about is RE:DSC and Sengoku Basara 3 (multiplat with PS3).
NMH2 and Trauma Team are also coming, but they are small games in Japan. After that there's nothing else coming out I think, besides DQX which comes out in 2012 or around there. Wii could go into another big game drought in Japan next year."


Third parties really don't want to develop games for the Wii anymore. They've given enough evidence at this year's TGS, where not even 1 new game was announced for the Wii.

I don't think Nintendo will ever recover the good third party support. It was just sporadic this gen, and now it appears to have ended. So that's why people compalin so much about the lack of first party games, as third parties will simply ignore the Wii and Nintendo seems very slow at bringing out their games (hopefully 2010 is better, in the end I mostly care for 1st party games, that's why I get so fucking pissed with the lack of games).
Don't come up with a list of third party games, because most of them are afterthoughts. The real effort is being put behind the other consoles.

EDIT: I meant TGS not E3 -.-
