I've said it in a dozen other threads but I'll say it again.
3rd parties were caught off guard by the Wii's success and had to rush games out to the market to make a quick buck. Quality games almost always take 12-18 months MINIMUM from start to finish, and the Wii has only been out for 13 months.
Naturally if developers had no real plans for quality Wii games prior to launch, we see what we have now. Come mid 2008 you should start seeing a lot more quality 3rd party games.
Its not that the developers are bad or lazy, its that they under estimated the Wii's potential and were late to the party.
That's what cracks me up when I see editorials or news posts commenting that "3rd parties should be concerned about the sales on Wii." There have barely been any non-rush job 3rd party games, and the ones that weren't sold well.
 I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.
