Could you stop trolling here?

If you were in that situation, maybe you too you would be angry. We just don't get the games we deserve. We can only count on Nintendo, unfortunately.

That's the thing though. Why do you automatically "deserve" those games? Because of the Wii sales? No, you don't.

You guys cheer when games like Carnival Games sell a load. When Cabella's Big Game Hunter is outselling other big games. When Just Dance is selling a ton. Do you think the developers don't see these sales that you see?

When a quality 3rd party "core" game struggles to hit a million in sales on the Wii, but then when a party minigame compilation manages to sell 4 times as much (and probably for a much cheaper budget)... You really think the developers will continue to go the "core" route, and spend tons of money, when they can go the "casual" route and make a quick bundle of cash from some minigame collection?

Nintendo, more than anyone are to blame for the lack of "quality" 3rd party support on Wii. Due to how the machine has been advertised, and the audience it has attracted. It's a win/lose situation. Win, because the machine sells a ton every week. Lose, because it isn't getting those franchises the fans are obviously wanting.

Even then, Nintendo could bring them to the Wii if they really wanted to. They have more money than you or i could shake a stick at. Look at what Sony and Microsoft have been willing to do this gen just to gain a tiny bit of exclusive content. If Ninty really wanted the support for the fans, they could get it.


Flawed argument you have there for a variety of reasons, first off name a third party Wii title that isn't niche and on the same pedestal as the likes of Tekken, DMC and so on. Secondly MS and Sony can foot blowing money on exclusives because they have income coming in from else where had these two been solely gaming companies they would of been worse off then Sega from years ago. If you had been paying attention Nintendo does pay attention to good third party games as they will be the publishers for MH3 and DQX, nothing to do with how the machine is advertized and mainly to do with that there being not much to advertize but scraps and Wii owners are smart enough to see through it, only Capcom imo seem to be genuinely trying now.
