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.

This, this and this. All I have read is how great the Wii is, bringing gaming to a bigger crowd and new markets. Knock, knock, guess what? Those new markets don't CARE about hardcore games. They care about shit games like Carnival Games, High School Musical, Disney Sing it!, etc... Nintendo and Wii marketing are the ones to point your finger at if you're angry. Maybe 3rd party efforts haven't been too amazing, but Nintendo sure haven't helped them much along the way. Actually, (being totally unserious here, maybe...) I think Nintendo DON'T WANT quality 3rd party on the Wii. That way their 1st party games can sell like hotcakes because of the lack of competition and choice. People will buy the Wii anyways because of marketing and image, and with only 2-5 quality games a year, these are all bond to get amazing numbers... If there were tons of quality 3rd party / 1st party EACH year on the Wii, none of their games would see the numbers they have (of course this is all speculation/opinion). The numbers would've probably been more spread around various titles. Seriously, this year (holiday season), besides WiiSports Resort, WiiFit and NSMBWii, what are the alternatives on the Wii? No wonder NSMB sell that much when it's the only real quality game released on the system in that period (not considering Silent Hill, etc because it won't sell even though full of quality) AND marketed to hell aswell. Nintendo has brought this on themselves, appealing to markets where quality hardcore games are not sought after.

That was the time Nintendo left for 3rd parties to get their games out to the market and they didnt take the chance sadly.
