Fantastic? For a market leader (and eventual winner)? No, not in my humble opinion. Its good, or at the very least decent but nowhere near fantastic. There is a vast amount of 3rd party games it never got and many of those it did get were inferior versions or ports of older games.
All in all, besides Nintendo's own efforts, the Wii will be remembered as a market leader with a surprisingly poor games library in terms of quality 3rd party support, and not just by "gaming snobs".
I'm not going to go into the whole "whose fault is it that the Wii has/had weak proper 3rd party support?" debate again but there is no denying the fact that it does have and has had weak proper 3rd party support (the amount of released titles really doesn't matter, the PS2 also had a boatload of shovelware, all market leaders do). This is one of the main reasons behind the historical sales decline it has seen.
