3rd parties have a fantastic opportunity to step up and fill in the Wii's lineup with "gamer" games. Nintendo is affording them the chance right now, something they've been bitched at for NOT doing in the past.
So Nintendo gets bitched out for c*ck-blocking 3rd parties' attempts at success on their consoles AND they get bitched out when they DON'T c*ck-block them?
Is it any wonder Nintendo just does what they think will work these days and completely ignores everyone else?
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
