I wish Nintendo was more strict at this point. Lets see how Ubisoft reacts if Nintendo denied them releasing the next Just Dance on the Wii...

Ubisoft wont deny Nintendo what sells on their platform. Its bad for business. Nintendo's installed base has been trained for twenty years to look outside of Nintendo for bad third party games. Its just how it is. Unless Nintendo plans for a healthy third party relationship before they build their consoles they will never have it.

Nintendo fans would buy good third party games if they were released on their system. But that never happens. Nintendo gamers don't buy bad games so that's why bad 3rd party games sell best on PS and XB.

 

 

Case in point on Wii alone:

Okami port

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

Monster Hunter Tri

Red Steel 2 (did pretty well ultimately)

de Blob (second really should have stayed exclusive)

No More Heroes

Muramasa

Sonic Colors

The Last Story

hell, even the halfway decent CoD ports.

 

It's not always the case, but it is often the case, that the third parties themselves are to blame for putting gimped/lackluster ports/games onto Nintendo home consosles these days, and then crying because few people bought them.
