To clarify my earlier post, full of allegorical bitterness as it was, i wouldn't have an issue with it but for the fact that it seems like games only flow in one direction: Nintendo -> Microsoft/Sony and never from either Microsoft/Sony -> Nintendo, with very rare exceptions like Modern Warfare, Ninja Gaiden 3, Mass Effect 3 (gimped) and Arkham City (appropriately enhanced for a year-late release).

If it seemed like the flow was more equitable, i would have less of a problem with it

Why do you think that is? Its not 3rd parties fault that Ninty decided to make an overclocked GC, and send it to markey while the other two, were making uber HD machines. Common sense would tell you that the Wii simply wasnt going to get alot of games simply becasue it just couldnt handle them, and dont say they could have made their own versions, because for the most part thats exactly what they did.  Now that Ninty has systems that have no problem running the games they couldnt for years, you are starting to see some of them crop up, so i dont see what your issue is.

That's all well and good, but what about now that Nintendo has the Wii U, which is much much closer in power to the other HD consoles? Yet third parties are still for the most part leaving Nintendo high and dry. The power gap thing I always felt was an excuse. If they can put some of these third party games on the freaking iphone, they could have put them on Wii.

The REAL reason Nintendo gets no support is because these developers are afraid to compete with Nintendo games, which tells you a little something about their quality right there, kinda shows the sad state the industry is in..

Doesnt tell me nothing, because YOUR "Real" reason is just your own speculation which you cant prove either way. I can prove that the Wii is weaker than the other two, becasue its a fact. Wii u is getting those games so I dont know where you are looking. AC3, ME3, Batman, CODBlops2, Ninja Gaiden 3, Tekken Tag 2, Darksiders 2, etc. All the games ive mentioned have never appeared on Wii in any shape or form sans COD, which ran like crap anyway. So tell me where are these games that are being left out? Its getting better support than Wii ever did and its only been out for 2 months. So a couple of games are not going to make it. So what, you would have to have been a damn fool to think that EVERY third party game was going to be released on Wii U, the Wii U is way to late to the party for that.
