With all the clamor about the third-party statements and debates over whether they are scaling back on support or abandoning the Wii (the latter of which I don't really see, given that there ARE some third-party titles coming this year that I'm looking forward to), I'm surprised that only one person paid attention to the one level-headed, damage-control-like post that I tried to come up with, my views concerning where the 3rd parties are going to.
CAPCOM: They said they were scaling back. They didn't say they were dropping Wii support. They've still got TvC, MH3. And, from the looks of it, both are going to be advertised.
KONAMI: Well, they DID give us some high quality "Rebirths" via WiiWare, and they DID give a solid SILENT HILL SHATTERED MEMORIES (which seems to be doing decent if unspectacular sales). I don't see these guys going away.
SQUARE-ENIX: Hard to say. Their development support has been quite erratic over the years. They did release CRYSTAL BEARERS this year, but that title split audiences. They're still onboard for DQX, though, so I don't see them going away.
SEGA: They may have said no more M-rated games, but they're not dropping Wii either. They're just "scaling back".
E-A: Iffy, because I don't know about them.
NAMCO: They've done Tales of Graces for Wii. What else will happen from them remains to be seen.
So while I DO see some scaling back in terms of Wii development from third-parties, I don't see it going away altogether; there's quite a bit of games coming this year from 3rd-parties (granted, they were released about over a year ago, but that's better than nothing.)
