Considering the Wii has been a monumental success from day 1, considering that it is pretty easy and cheap to develop for, now that we're nearly done with 2 years, shouldn't Nintendo be able to muster up some more impressive 3rd party support? Shouldn't it be a monumentally easy sell for Nintendo? I just get the sense they're not really trying to establish strong 3rd party relations. As a Gamecube owner, and someone who saw Nintendo's stance with the N64, I'm understandably paranoid that Nintendo is still that same old company who shuns other devs.... |
The DS had the same problem. Now look at it. IT is stealing exclusives from consoles. Third parties are just suspicious about the wii. They don't know if large budget 3rd party games sell on it. Also nintendo is making great releations with companies like tecmo(Fatal Frame IV) sega, grasshopper, etc. They don't have to buy exclusives like MS or SOny.

No, it's more that a lot of their first string teams are still heavily working on 360/PS3 games that have begun development two to three years ago. The enormous development times of HD games are preventing the Wii from getting great third party games sooner.
@rubido: E3 isn't over yet.

You have a valid argument of why the big games are not coming for the wii. That makes a lot of sense. But still, it doesn't take away from the fact that big third party games are not coming. You just explained why they are not coming yet and why they will still take a while to come (because they also take time on the wii and they have to start developing them).
