Why do most third party publishers ignore the Wii completely ?

Hmmm, my thoughts...

1. Quality third party games like Batman and GTA won't do well on Wii.
2. By developing games for Wii they would kind of admit that they had bet on the wrong horse.
3. Some weeks ago our school went to a university and a programming student said that the Wiimote is very tricky to programme, furhtermore developers don't get much help by Nintendo in doing so (seriously: I don't know if this is true).
4. Porting a game to an inferior console would consume much time and money which (maybe) doesn't pay off because of Reason 1.

 

edit: I'll use this opportunity to ask something: How do I create a My Games (owned) list here on VGchrtz? I beg for a step for step guide for dummies )=

I wholeheartedly agree with your reason 4. Most devs make games for the HD twins + PC. It's very easy/cheap to port between those 3 relative to Wii. Wii gamers should be asking for more exclusives that take advantage of the hardware & interface imo.

For getting games on your collection:

Search for the game on the game database (top right search bar), be careful with spelling

Click on game/version.

Scroll down a little and on the left hand side you'll have the option to add to your collection for owned.
