Other than Paper Mario and Mario Party, which are 2nd rank Nintendo franchises, it seems Nintendo is providing third parties with a wide-open window until the Nintendo first-party gets back into top gear late this year (Mario, Metroid, etc.)... although the problem is I can't think of any quality original 3rd party titles set to come out in that period (just a lot of ports like Godfather, Heatseeker, etc)...
