Why third party core games fail(ed) on the Wii

I will admit I don't buy many 3rd Party games because why should I if I can buy a Nintendo game for the same price thats miles better? The only time I find myself buying a 3rd Party game is when Nintendo hasn't had anything I like for a while and I am taking a break from my already owned Nintendo games. The only games that compete with Nintendo games for me is the Resident Evil games...even The Darkside Chronicles was well made in my opinion. RE1,RE2, and RE3 are all in my top 10 games of all time but the other 7 are probably Nintendo games.

Considering how well the RE games have done on it, I think a lot of Wii owners agree with you.  It's one of the few "core" or "traditional" brands that really seems to stand up with Nintendo's favorably.  Monster Hunter, Sonic and (eventually) Dragon Quest are probably the other big stand outs.

Yeah Sonic will always do well on a Nintendo console...M.H and D.Q are mainly do to Japan though.

I mean its the same for me this year...I am considering buying/Getting 6 games for Wii this Holiday but I won't have enough money to get all of them so the ones that I do get as of now would all be Nintendo games...for example If I could pick 4 games to get before 2010 ends on Wii and I had to pick right now it would be: Kirby,Donkey Kong,Wii Party, and FlingSmash...leaving Sonic Colors and Golden Eye 007 in the dust.
