I've only seen one third party commercial for the Wii EVER, and that's from My Sims.

its not like they need it to sell. I suspect there is more at play here than just 3rd parties shunning Nintendo. We don't know what Nintendo demands behind the scenes...Why would companies turn down easy money?

Red Steel ..........

 Ya, me too, forgot about that.

NiGHTS well over a month ago. Come to think of it, there haven't been many commercials in general for the Wii or its games.

I think I saw something for Umbrella Chronicles once.

It will be interesting to see if this year's titles like Okami, TOS, Rygar, King's Story etc. will get decent advertising budgets from their publishers.

At the moment it is only certain that Spore, MH3 and Boom Blox will be advertised heavily.

Why should Nintendo be taking on the advertising for third party games again? Seems to me the third parties are the ones that need to step-up their advertising game.

 I had forgot about seeing this one a week or so ago until seeing your post.

Before that it was the last Dragonball Z game during the holidays. I think I might have saw a Rayman RR 2 commercial around that time too.
