Before long it will be a year and a half into the Wii's lifecycle and at this point it STILL doesn't have the sort of library that you expect the market leading system to have. Is E3 the big announcement platform for third parties? Considering the shadow of its former self that it now is, I wouldn't be betting as much on it as in previous years. Spin it how you want, throw the excuses up all you want, but take it from someone with a soft spot for Nintendo: It's a seriously bad sign that third parties STILL haven't thrown anything much decent behind the Wii (perhaps Capcom excluded), and I honestly doubt it's going to change. WTF is the deal?

How bout Call of Duty 5, Guitar Hero IV, Monster Hunter 3, Alone in the Dark, Fragile, Madden, Rock Band, Final Fantasy: CC, Ghostbusters, StarWars: The Force Unleshed, or ToS2?

 

Those are some pretty substantial 3rd party games, no?

 

If you wanted to go in depth, I could list you the entire lineup, but lets leave it.


The problem with those games is the best versions of those multiplatform games will be on the PS3 and 360. Those include: GH4 (DLC not on Wii), Alone in the Dark (no control advantage and worse graphics), Madden (Wii versions are dumbed down), Rock Band (again, DLC), Ghostbusters (again likely no control advantag and worse presentation), Star Wars (same story, motion controls are NOT 1 to 1), and I would include CoD5 but who knows if the presentation will be good enough to outweigh the controls considering the developer is not Infinity Ward. I would much rather play CoD4 than MoH:H2 or MP3, though, now that I've played all 3. I do hope Rock Band makes it to the Wii because I want that series to succeed over GH. Hopfully Nintendo allows external storage options and DLC eventually, though, otherwise you'd be missing the best part. And I know a lot of you are going to argue that you prefer Madden on Wii and that's fine. People will stll buy the PS2 version as well, but that doesn't mean people are buying the system for it and that it's going to do very well. You can't just list games that will sell very well on other systems and claim that it shows 3rd party support for Wii is huge.

They already confirmed dlc. All we need is storage. And are you kidding me. Mp3 single player is so much better than CoD4 , but CoD 4 is a better purchase , because of the online and a decent story. It's your opinion though.
