In one of my recent threads I came across an interesting post that explains why it's Nintendo's fault that the majority of third party Wii games are bad and not the fault of the developers who actually made those games:
I've always loved the idea that it's 3rd parties fault. That it's 3rd parties fault Nintendo chose to create a system that due to it's motion control would be difficult to port PC developed games to, that it can't support the graphics or AI of it's competition, that quality 3rd party releases sell like shit.
Yes, poor poor Wii, damn all the 3rd Party developers who didn't bend over backwards the moment it was announced to make a massive library of quality games that sales have demonstrated will be ignored by the overwhelming majority of Wii owners.
This is by far not the first time I've read something like this, so I thought it deserves its own thread. The quoted post is an underhanded attack against third parties, although it cleverly tries to cover this with the usual "quality third party games don't sell on the Wii" argument which was proved to be wrong countless times already.
What this post is saying is that third parties lack the talent to create good games if they can't use HD graphics and/or have to come up with ideas for a new control scheme. It's basically saying that with the launch of the 360 and PS3, third party developers lost their vision and creativeness and now have to entirely rely on pretty graphics to generate interest in their games.
It's understandable that someone would be frustrated and launch such an devastating attack after all we have seen from third parties this generation, but in my opinion it's too soon to write third parties completely off. I think there are still talented people among them and that they'll get their act together and surprise us with games and ideas we'd never thought of could be realized.

So I guess games like Metal Gear and little big planet would be crap if it werent for the good graphics? And now the only way to make an awsome game is for the wii because its new(new controllers).
Yeah, we sure buy these games just because they are pretty. Yeah, all the time the devs work to make a good HD game makes they lazy for not using new controls, lazy pigs, they just work in the story, graphics, AI, bigger enviorments, online, etc.. they are lazy. They are completly talentless for creating these games because it doesnt surprise us, we need something to surprise us like SSBB, which has more characters, yeah...
