I've just been surfing on metacritic and i found that the Wii only has 31 games that scored 75 or above. I know its only metacritic but as a Wii owner, i really want more developers to commit to the system.

Just compare these game scores to the Dreamcast which has 71 games scoring 75 and above and far less games than the Wii.

So what do people think, does it really matter that the Wii doesn't have enough of these green games to continue being the leader in the console war?

 a better comparison would be what's the ratio of games that scored 75% or higher.

It will continue to dominate due to its price advantage and the motion control thing and appealing to casual gamers. The games do not have to rate well to some  average review site. the average person does not care about how much a game gets as a review score. Games sell regardless of review scores.

Yes and more so.

Someone who agrees with me! Last time someone called me an idiot when I said I found the games on the Gamecube of more quality than on the WII. He thought I meant quantity I've been supporting the WII from the beginning with ups and downs and now I'm at the level of down again. Down, because I'm, like you, getting tired of the WII getting a lot of games, but like over 90% of them are crap and cheap looking. Question is how long are gamers going to take it if this partern keeps on continueing, I won't for long. Spending on WII games will reduce fast then from out of my pocket.

The problem is as we see it with sales in Japan... no matter if a family / party game is getting low scores, it can sell a lot... Deca Sporta as an example not to imagine the disaster called Carnival Games, which sold over a million worldwide! Who's buying that stuff anyway?!

As long as people keep on buying that junk, it will continue to be produced and so the WII will also continue to sell.

 sorry to tell you this, Wii is going the way of DS.. you get your odd good games, but amongst them are MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of trash.

The fact that some of the games that get panned critically (and review) wise - sell millions of units - says it all.

Links Crossbow, Sonic & Secret Rings, MySims, BBAcademy, Mario Party 8, Wii Play... (all under the 75 mark).

Conclusion - companies that care about selling lots of units on the Wii shouldn't care about reviews.
...

That said - I own all top#9 games on that list (except for GH, and Brawl which isn't here yet).

PS2 was exactly the same. The most incredible rubbish is published on that system, still it also had a lot of very good games.

Rubbish sells, face it. Who cares?

I feel that Wii's library is about to match that of Gamecube and N64 at this moment. The only thing missing is a few good RPG's.

Mario Galaxy: Best platformer in years (+game of the year)
Zelda TP: Maybe not the best Zelda ever, but objectively seen an amazing game.
Fire Emblem RD: Most hardcore game of any current gen system available
RE4Wii: What a blast to control one of the best games ever with the Wiimote
Zack & Wiki: Just amazing
Ghost Squad/House ot Dead/RE:UC: Return of the lightgun shooters!
Super Smash Bros Brawl: no words needed
VC: A sh#tload of magnificent games to download

And then we have:

Metroid 3, Super Paper Mario, Guitar Hero, Mario Kart.

And coming:

Tales of Symphonia 2, Okami, Fatal Frame 4, Project O, Fragile, FFCC, De Blob, Boom Blox, WiiWare....

I really don't understand why so many people are complaining about wii's software library. It's great and it's growing at a very steady rate. Why complain about shovelware you're not going to buy anyway? That's not meant for gamers like people that visit VGChartz, but respect that there are actually people that like it.

As for wii domination: that has nothing to do with software, it's the other way around. The great games will come (see Monster Hunter) because Wii is dominating. Wii only needed one game to become successful and that was WiiSports.

The Wii is still early in its life cycle and has already put out some phenomenal games. The whole amount of crap games argument doesn't work with me because whoever is on top at the time gets the most crap on their system because developers look at it as a good way to cash in. Look at the amount of garbage that was released on the PS1 as an example.

While I do agree that I want more good games for my system of chocie, but who wouldn't? We are 18 months in and there are more great games on the wii than there were for N64 and Gmaecube in their first 18. For Nintendo fans we have have had updates to all the major franchises in that time. We will likely get a second Zelda plus some new stuff from Nintendo.

After 6 years you can compare to an older systems whole library but doing it now is silly.

I don't completely discount the reviews, but if that is your metric for your enjoyment more power to you.

And to Onna you should always spend you money on games you will like. If you have been buying crap before to just support the system, why?

As for me I have plenty of games on Wii I will be picking up soon. Brawl, Kart, Monster Lab, King's Story, Tales, and Okami at least, if I have the time and money. If you don't like those games than the system may not be for you.

I am more dissapointed that games haven't been as innovative as WiiSports.

But alas I am afraid this thread is on its way to bingo.
