Yeah, if you're willing to look Wii actually has a good collection of quality 3rd party games, particularly in the last couple years. RE:4, No More Heroes, Tramua Center, LKS, Dawn of Discovery, Muramasa, Mad World, Zack and Wiki, Rune Factory: Frontier, Okami, House of the Dead: Overkill, etc. And stuff like Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter 3, and Epic Mickey on the way. It's still ridiculous compared to the support they give HD consoles though, especially when you consider the user base of the Wii and the fact tha Hd projects are far more expensive than Wii projects. |
This is really the issue though isn't it? If you look at the titles a good number are in niche genres that not everyone will want to play (NMH & Madworld) or are remakes of older games (RE4, Okami) and many just don't have the production value and quite simply... effort associated with the HD games. I have a number of games on Wii yet very few I've actually bothered to play to completion (probably about 15% of my library as opposed to about 80% on HD/PC) because a lot of the time it feels like the developers have made little effort so why should I?
Having said that, Red Steel 2 piques my interest and Epic Mickey as well (although more because Warren Spector is doing that game and Deus Ex is my fave game of all time). Also, I got Dead Space Extraction, and I must say that it actually feels like some effort has gone into the game and I'm enjoying it far more than my time with the HD Dead Space (which I hated). It might be on-rails, but it's still quite good.
Anyway, my point is that it's the top selling console of the gen and should get some better 'core game' support.
