3rd party Wii games are doing fine!

[Grey Acumen]

This really isn't the best time to be able to determine the succcess of any system on the Wii. There's really a powerful word of mouth effect to it. People ask their friends what games are good on it, and 3rd party titles that are actually good are slowly beginning to get tossed around as well.

Right now, my funds are tight, so I'm primarily sticking to Nintendo and the big 3. I'll probably be getting Metroid Prime in a little bit, and of course I'll be at least within the first week for Brawl.

However I'm also keeping my eye on games like Zack & Wiki, Resident Evil 4, and No More Heroes. Particularly No More Heroes, but the difference with 3rd party titles is that I've been disappointed with them before.
This makes it imperative that they be good games, as otherwise my disappointment with them would be even worse. Because of this, I'm planning on making it a policy to rent any 3rd party title I have any intention of buying.

I think Nintendo would do incredibly well to try to work out an arrangement with gamefly, so that people could rent games directly from the Wii. It really should be done without a subscription fee though. Or even just work it out themselves.
It shouldn't be too hard to set up though. It could even be set up so that you're charged full price for the game to start, and then it's just a certain amount per day that you play it. If you play it long enough that you'd be paying full price anyway, they just let you keep it, since you've already been charged full price to begin with. If you still want to send it back, they might be able to offer a small amount credited back to you, basically making it so you can sell your used game back to them.
