1. I don't think you're getting it. That list is not cherry picked shitty games. THAT LIST IS THE ENTIRE THIRD PARTY EFFORT BY MAJOR PUBLISHERS. LET THAT SINK IN. 2. Again, those "publishers" are the major ones. I really don't think you get it. There's no hidden box of magical games behind that list, that is full stop their best "effort" on the Wii. 3. "Highly doubt" all you want. Hell, "seriously doubt" while you're at it. If that doesn't work, then "refuse to believe." From Amazon: 420 customer reviews 5-241 4-132 3-28 2-9 1-10 Here's a 4 star review: ******************** Bought this game for the kids based on the commercial showing all the activity and the songs. Told my wife we had to try it out first and she balked because it was late, after the kids were in bed. I nagged she gave in I lasted 3 songs she danced every song until 2 in the morning. She had so much fun the game never made it under the Xmas tree. The next day the whole family had a blast. That night friends came over and danced for 3 hours. I'm taking it to the company Xmas party. ********************* Yeah they may not be your values for what makes a great game, but it sold 2,000,000 for a reason. Instead of calling them retards why not find out the reason people may like it? If I want to be myopic and just say my taste is law, Square Enix would cease to exist because no one could possibly find spikey hair loli shit with godawful dialogue enjoyable. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE SINCE I HATE THAT SHIT. Read that review again and tell me if that person games for cinematic experience and story or if they just want something fun and social. 4. So you've done research into what a "casual" gamer is? You've been goin David Attenborough style following them with a camera? Where are you getting your iron clad information? You could actually just as easily argue that people who buy Wii games are the ONLY ones who care about quality. We can't be sold the same game 3-4 times a generation, you're either up to Nintendo's incredibly high standards of game making or you can go fuck yourself, we don't want our games to be 2nd rate movies and would rather the gameplay mechanics were good, and we don't waste our money on shitty games like the Conduit. This point needs some sources or it's just the usual kotaku "LOL CASUAL FAGGOTS" bullshit that's been spewing since day 1 about the Wii. So yeah, proof or GTFO. Especially since the Wii attach rate is neck and neck with PS3.
5. Interesting choice of examples. Conduit: 69% on metacritic, seen as generic and bad FPS. So basically when we're talking "good games" we're talking (other 69s on metacritic): Alone in the Dark: Inferno Conan Tornado Outbreak World Series of Poker Enchanted Arms WET Section 8 Polar Panic Def Jam Icon Turok Again this was one of the many many shitty Wii games. THIS WAS YOUR EXAMPLE OF A STAND OUT WII TITLE. See the company that stand out Wii title is in? COD4: A port that's a year late is your idea of good Wii support?
3rd parties are failing because they deserve to fail. It blows my fucking mind that anyone could actually defend Wii 3rd parties. If anything point 5 should drive home exactly why no one is buying anything but Nintendo games and why attach rate is so low. If anything Nintendo should be praised for keeping the fastest selling console in history afloat all by themselves.

First of all what are we arguing about?
Second some publishers have put alot of effort in Wii games, just to have low sales.
Third "Bought this game for the kids based on the commercial showing all the activity and the songs" Exactly, you JUST proved my point. He didnt research the game before buying, it was an impulsive purchase and he bought it for his children.
Fifth- When most games on your console are shitty and receive scores below 50 then a game that gets a 69 is amazing and Motion Controls dont work great for gaming, this goes for Wii mote, Knock off mote and No mote knock off (Natal). They may be cool and gimmicky but they suck at advanced games.
