I bought these 3rd party games for the Wii-
Ghost Squad
Guitar Hero 3
Kororinpa Marble Mania
Metal Slug Anthology
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
Trauma Center: New Blood
Guitar Hero 3 is my favorite but I enjoy all of them. Trauma Center and Kororinpa are truely amazing games that all Wii owners should buy.
Here are 3rd party VC games I bought for the Wii-
Eternal Champions
Golden Axe II
Simcity
Most games I rent for the Wii are 3rd party games. I'll likely rent another 9 3rd party games this year.
Perhaps I am unusual, but I think Wii has better 3rd party games than any other system (except for DS). I bought 9 3rd party games since I bought my Wii and intend to buy at least 3 more this year. As long as a ton of good 3rd party games continue to come to Wii, I am happy.
currently playing: Desktop Tower Defense (PC), Puzzle Quest (DS), Trauma Center New Blood (Wii), Guitar Hero III (Wii), Ghost Squad (Wii), Actraiser (SNES), Donkey Kong County (SNES), The Legend of Zelda (NES), Kirby's Adventure (NES)
will play next: Paper Mario (N64), Golden Axe II (Sega), NiGHTS (Wii)
