To be honest, as a Wii owner, I am glad that some of the horrible 3rd party developers are moving away from the Wii in droves.
There are a few good 3rd party devs. that are sticking around and that is all that is needed. No one wants to play a game where you just randomly move the Wii-mote around in a sporadic fashion in hopes that what you are doing is helping the game out. Or a game where the only thing you do is point and click on totally random things in hopes to achieve something in game.

Side note: I hope that if they do come out with Red Steel 2 that they fix the horrible game-play and controls from the first. I could not even get close to finishing the first game; the game-play and controls are just too horrible in it.

Don't forget Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers, Tales of Graces, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Samurai Warriors 3, The Sky Crawlers, Fragile Dreams, Rune Factory: Frontier (for Europe).

I think all this games are honorable Third-Party efforts for 2010.

And I am looking forward to "de Blob 2", because the first game is one of my most loved Wii games :)

^^ i ment games that will have a good impact in the west. Dont get me wrong they;re all great games but i dont see them doing good numbers, and i hope i'm proven wrong :)

Of course they will, Red Steel was a launch tittle, they hadn't quite figured the controls out yet, but after Prime 3 devs took note and any FPS now controls incomparably better than Red Steel. Also, just watch some videos and it's obvious the controls are a lot better, they'll probably be among the best controls on Wii.

Dead Space sold about 1-1/2M combined on the PS3 and Xbox 360. So it was not that big of a franchise.

But the "guided first person experience" appears to have been doomed by coming out around the same time that a similar Resident Evil spin-off (a much more popular franchise with prior success on the Wii console) -- despite getting some solid reviews.

As for most of the rest of the efforts noted, they are not worth noting.

But that is because it also had "killer-app" games that stood out from that.

The Wii is getting the market leader's shovelware, but not the blockbusters that usually accompany it. This has never happened in gaming before.

Yeah, I know.

But with all these games, maybe some developer will stumble onto a formula that works one of these days.

The Japanese devs have caught on. The Wii has about a dozen+ games dropping in 2010 from them.

Western teams on the other hand...........have done squat diddly ;(

It's about time people say no to shovelware. I mean, even the most casual gamers probably wants quality games, but they have to swim through the Sea of Junk to find something worthy of their money.
I hope this will have some kind of positive effect on the more serious companies.
