Haven't you destroyed enough lives?  Remember Zero129?  Remember Billy Wilcox (that kid you killed)?  Don't turn your fury on me.  I will say that there were NO big budget attempts on the Wii just to avoid this confrontation.

I would say MH3 was a semi big budget attempt and it succeeded.  I can't think of any big budget 3rd party titles on Wii that failed though.

There were none.

Probably so since Google pulled up nothing with a search on big budget Wii 3rd party titles.  3rd parties produce pretty damn good games sometimes but if you only buy Nintendo consoles then you don't really put that much faith in them since the GCN era or so.  I like a few third party companies (mainly Capcom due to MH, SF, RE) but I really don't give a damn about them or count on them.  I am expecting one thing when I buy a Nintendo console (Nintendo IPs).  If Nintendo wasn't Nintendo then they would be Atari (aka dead).  Then you have third party companies bitching about their games not selling when everyone knows that they probably didn't put the effort into them (Wii generation).  So Nintendo barely releases any of their first party games on 3DS (and most that they released were either niche new IPS (Steel Diver) or ports (Star Fox, OoT).  3DS gets off to a bad start then they released 3D Land and Mario Kart and guess what.... the 3DS sells (with the help of a little price drop too and a 3DS XL release).  3DS sales didn't start taking off till 3D Land and MK7.  Case in point Nintendo shouldn't count on anyone but themselves.  Sure PS1/PS2 took off due to third party support.  However, with barely any 3rd party support Nintendo won this gen due solely to themselves.
