Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo's third party support is slowly getting better

novasonic on 01 June 2009

As far as my taste in games go anyways.

N64 games = 6/6 nintendo dev, pub, or owned
GCN games = 9/20 nintendo dev, pub, or owned
owned Wii games = 4/12 nintnedo (not counting wiisports, vc, or wiiware)

my wishlist is 10 wii games strong and only one is nintendo.

so why are people still complaining about lack of nintendo 3rd party support? yes theres lots of games the wii isnt getting, but theres lots that wii is getting and noone else is.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

I agree and it will only get better and better. As the Wii sells more and more, developers will have to give in and make games that at the moment they wouldn't because they beleive they wont sell on nintendo console. And it will be sooner rather than later IMO.

While I don't know if your personal taste is the best barometer. The support has gotten a hell of a lot better. Major devs like EA, Ubisoft, Sega, Capcom, Square Enix are giving the Wii a lot of attention and little guys like Majesco, Grasshoper and High Voltage are using Wii to step up to the big times.

The Wii has arrived as a machine taken seriously by the developing community.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Right now, my personal list of wii games to keep watch on runs at 35 games. Granted, all of them won't be good. But just having a list of games that long that interest me is amazing.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

The shift of support away from Nintendo happened over a long period of time (over the SNES generation and the first 18 months of the N64's life) but since most of us weren't paying attention it seemed sudden ... A shift back to Nintendo is happening at a slower rate, but since we're paying such close attention it seems to be going even slower.

If you look at the kind of third party support the Wii had at E3 2006 and 2007 compared to what it has already received (and what it could potentially receive) at E3 2009 it is clear that there has been a major shift towards the Wii.

I felt the Wii arrived when Dead Space Wii was announce... That was huge, and I feel it really got the ball rolling. Of course, GH3 on the Wii was the key to any thought the Wii could sell 3rd party titles.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Wait you only own 6 N64 games????  GCN was probably the most recent system I bought the most 3rd party games so far (probably bought the most 3rd party games NES / Genesis).  I have only bought one 3rd party game for Wii so far (CoD:WaW).  I want a few more 3rd party games just don't have the money for them right now.

To tell you the truth. 3rd party support crashed down during the N64 era. But yeah. all the games you have are popular. I buy games that's unknown well for my GC

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

When more games are announced then we can say this, but as of now only games we knew were coming are actually being released on the Wii.
