I read bigjon's thread about what Wii games people were anticipating, and considering I have finished a few games on the Wii even though I don't own one I figured I would check out IGN to see what games I might have to track down one of my friends to play. I noticed that there was more third-party games than before, but many of them were licensed games (synonomous with poor quality) like Bratz Kidz, Garfield Gets Real, The Destiny of Zorro, or PS2/other ports, like Okami, Death Jr., and Rygar: Battle of Argus.
Now there have been some third-party games announced recently or announced awhile ago that range from passable to good like Oppona (looks like a hit or miss title to me), Boom Blox, Facebreaker, Monster Hunter 3 (HUGE in Japan, miniscule everywhere else), and Tales of Symphonia, but I was really having to do some searching to find games I wanted to play, and I even read up about several games on this list.
I know some of you will tell me to wait until E3, but I heard the same thing last year. People have been talking about a flood of Wii third-party support for over a year now, but I still don't see it. Things could very well change this year, but I think third-parties have either dropped the ball or simply still don't want to risk pumping a great deal of money into a Wii game that could be rejected by the fanbase. Please point out any games to me on this list that I should look into, because I am curious to know more about the good ones.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
