its simple 1 they make more money on the HDtwin systems, 3rd party games in general dont do that great on Wii, people like money

2 when then do make a Wii game its usually an inferior port or rerelease of a game already played. Why would I get a Wii version of anything if I know I could get it on the other systems?

3 Nintendo dont need them, Sony does, Microsoft absolutely does, if they never release another 3rd party game on Nintendo it wouldnt hurt there pockets at all

4 not really a point, but y dont you get a system with decent 3rd party support????

"3rd party games in general dont do that great on Wii, people like money"

well that's not the case at all 3rd party's do good on the Wii, the problem they would do better if Nintendo promoted their Software, 3rd party's know this Nintendo know's this but Nintendo promoting 3rd party software is most likely out of the Question:

example:

Independent Publishers/Licensees/Licensed Property Owners

Nintendo licenses a number of independent third party publishers to use its patented technology, copyrights and trademarks in developing, creating and marketing their own video games. Additionally, there are a number of intellectual property rights associated with these games that are owned by these publishers. In addition, many independent property owners from such sources as movies, television, sports leagues, etc. license their intellectual properties for use in video games.

Third-party developers complaining about Wii's online presence

From the confusing 16-digit friend codes that must be shared for matchmaking to the lack of localized promotion, Nintendo has not made it clear that the company takes online gaming seriously.

What do you think? Are WiiWare games advertised as much as those on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network? How would you fix the Nintendo online situation?
