The 3rd party support for the Wii has certainly been interesting. I don't think many people would have predicted that before this gen started, that if Nintendo went on to dominate they would receive less traditional 3rd party support than they did on the Gamecube. For the first few years I assumed 3rd parties would start releasing their big games on the Wii at some point, but that is looking unlikely now. Although, for Japan centric games the support does seem to have increased a bit. I think the success of the Wii, is now more likely to help Nintendo's 3rd party support next generation, if the Wii's successor has capabilities closer to the competition.
