3rd party support on Wii is garbage

I own a Wii but it isn't for games like dead space and resident evil chronicles. I haven't bought a 3rd party game for a nintendo system since resident evil 4 on the gamecube. On rails shooters are nothing but a copout on the part of the developer to save from having to put effort into a traditional game with a free roaming camera and such. I loved the concept of house of the dead and the art design but gameplay wise it's 12 year old technology. I thought with the wiimote developers were supose to inovate not give us something we played 12 years ago?

I watch game videos and eventhough the wii is getting more support most of it is still lame. I'm not bashing nintendo or the wii I'm bashing lazy 3rd party developers.

Do research before posting!

If you look through this entire thread and find nothing that appeals to you, I don't know what to tell you.

The only thing is on rails are cheap games there isn't much to combat that its a lower genre to FPS, RPG, RTS or a mainstream genre and really they don't change significantly its a genre that isn't going many places and its been done before by enough devs, not much to be excited about...I mean you can't even move...its 2009 and they makegames where you can't evencontrol movement.

What about Monster Hunt 3 or Conduit do they take your fancy?

up to this point, i never knew Little King's Story was developed and published by Nintendofunsohng

stike22

At first, they were bad because they couldn't utilize the Wii's motion-sensing technology very well.

Have you looked at their releases for the future, though?

The Conduit, Little Kings' Story, Takt of Magic, Red Steel 2, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010

If you want a complete list, check out this.

Seriously? Ok, I guess you just don't like games anymore.

For a second I thought that it also was. Just looked at a gameplay video of it and it looks just like pikmin to me lol.

To the TC's credit, I'm actually in agreement with part of what is being said. The overall output of third-party Wii titles can be classified as lazy. It may has improved to the point where we can all name a game or two that we're actually looking forward to, as many of the replies can indicate, but let's not excuse the fact that the system has had just as many days where it's been a challenge to find a decent title that might appeal to one of us. Heck, it wasn't too long ago where just about everyone was complaining about this very subject, and a recent surge of titles shouldn't dismiss years of some rather poor efforts.

If you look through this entire thread and find nothing that appeals to you, I don't know what to tell you.

I agree. If you can't look through such a list and find SOMETHING worthwhile, you're in for a pretty bad time. :P That said, that's a list with a number of promising first party games, as well. That's not to say that one couldn't find anything if those games weren't there, as I think it still wouldn't be hard too find something of appeal. However, what the inclusion of the first party titles does is suggest that it's still much easier to get excited about a Nintendo-published game than it is for most third party titles. This is a problem the Wii face that many other consoles don't have to deal with, as the perception of third party games is vastly superior to that of the Wii's third party games. Is that fair? Maybe not when you look at some of the upcoming games, but once again, it's all about the big picture here, and the Wii has had it's share of droughts.

I'm not going to go as far as to say that the 3rd party support on the Wii is garbage, but I'm going to say that it's not close to where I hoped it would be years ago. Granted, there are some gems here and there, but I can't help but take some of the TC's disappointment to heart.

The problem is, third-party support is far, far weaker than on the 360 and PS3. But it's improving, at least.

TC would have more legs to stand on if it were 2008; however it's 2009 and there have been a lot of good third-party games that have come out this year and even more are on the way. Yes you can make an argument that at a time and point the Wii's third party support WAS garbage, but what's important is the present and at present it's looking really good. The only way you could say that the support is garbage right now would be if you didn't really know what games were coming out this year.

Just because you don't like on-rails shooters doesn't somehow mean that Wii is getting crappy 3rd party support. If anything 3rd party is great and 1st party has been lacking.

Well, that is a difference of opinion, not a statement of fact. I own a 360 and quite frankly have way more Wii games that I'm interested in.

If people honestly have no games for the Wii that they're interested in, that's fine... but I would contend that that is their problem, not the Wii's problem, and that they really just own the wrong console in that case.

So you looked at that thread, concluded that NONE of those games are must buys, and rationalized that the PS3 third party support is far, FAR superior?

Everyone is free to their own opinion, but...wow.

Topic creator has a point. Despite a lot of misguided or flat out wrong information the wii third party suport is nothing special, its not good, its meh. You know why? Cause 3 years after the system launches only3 publishers have actually tried to give a damn about being successful on it. Nintendo (they have no choice), Capcom (and they only did it with one game too, Monster Hunter Tri) and recently, EA. Everyone else has been being lazy or has been to samll to matter in the long run. Those companies fill the library but by no means define it which is the type of games sorely missing on the wii. Why is it that the most relevant third party wii title takes 2 and a half years to launch and it is only big in the Japanese market? Why is it that devs don't announce more exclusive games for the wii when it cost a fraction of a budget to make? Why are people defending this, I don't understand. The devs can do whatever the heck they want but I don't see how people are actually fine with what is being delivered. Really, the same people that ***** for another star fox or F zero are all of a sudden actually saying the crap that comes from ubisoft or Capcom is acceptable?

3 years and the wii's first RTS is a wiiware title. 3 years and the first ground up wii FPS is just coming out. 3 years and there are less than 5 online coop games for the wii. 3 years and not one big western franchise has appeared as main series on the wii. 3 years and still the only decent ground up adventure game is Zack and Wiki (which is a puzzle game by the way). How do you people defend this? I am in complete awe quite honestly.

Like I've said many times in the past... when the Wii first was presented and released, everyone thought it was a joke. So nobody had anything planned for it. Then it started selling like hotcakes and developers and publishers were really caught with their pants down.

If it takes two or three years to make a quality game, and if it took people a year or two to realize that the Wii is serious, then the timing of the ramping up of third-party support is something that really ought to surprise no one who was paying attention. It's what I've been telling people all along, but nobody paid attention to me. :P

I know the story, problem is the suport still isn't where it should be. What main series big franchises are planned for the wii? I've got 3 and one of them is hardly a big franchise. Dragon Quest 10, Monster Hunter 3, Tales of Graces. That's it, three years and that's all third parties could scrap up? I don't buy that excuse for a second, the games I am talking about are not coming and when they cost a quarter of what it takes on other platform then its just plain bad. Or am I off base? Are there magically going to be tons of exclusive big third party games announced? I expected the games to come, then was disappointed by the lack of effort on third parties fronts. What you are essentially arguing is that the support went from garbage to mediocore and it took time, to me that's not good enough for people to be defending them.

Sepewrath

It's more than merely "dwelling on the past," though. It's very easy to make the arguement that despite the lineup of games that you mentioned, the Wii's third party lineup still isn't what it should be or isn't at the level of the other systems. Despite how much easier it should be to make games on the system, that's pretty sad. ArticEdge hit the nail on the head here; it's pretty funny to see so much optimism when only a short while ago, the energy surrounding Wii third party games was completely the opposite. And while all of the games you've mentioned are and/or may be solid games, it's hard to consider any of them a "must-have" title. At the very least, none of those games are going to give any of Nintendo's games a scare in any way. The fact that the system has endured what many would say were 24 months of mediocrity from third party developers only make it even more shocking that the mood in this very thread is what it is now.

Don't get me wrong. I, too, have some upcoming third party titles I'm looking forward to, but I'm not about to say that the quality of third party games as a whole are at the point where I find it acceptable, as this is what should have happened earlier in the system's life, not nearly three years into it. If third party support was where it should have been, no one would have been complaining during this more recent drought, as there wouldn't have been one. The fact that people have been so hard on Nintendo this year alone says plenty about the support the system has received. It's not about simply looking behind or ahead here. Personally, I like to know where I've come from AND where I'm going. :P

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="snowman6251"] considering the PS2 and PSP versions are the afterthoughts this time around, not the wii version, plus the fact that this game definately has the potential to make every OTHER silent hill the spin offs of the series, I'd say this still counts

Still looks worse than silent hill 3. All I can say before I start breaking board rules. Silent Hill Shattered memory uses the same characters, the same overarching plot, the same general story. I agree its ambitious, its not main series though, by the simple logic that its a retelling with different mechanics it makes it a spin off.

[QUOTE="snowman6251"] graphics? are you kidding? This game has like easily some of my favorite graphics for any wii game out there. Its beautiful!

Still looks worse than silent hill 3. All I can say before I start breaking board rules. Silent Hill Shattered memory uses the same characters, the same overarching plot, the same general story. I agree its ambitious, its not main series though, by the simple logic that its a retelling with different mechanics it makes it a spin off.

What part is crazy? The fact that it looks inferior to a PS2 game (still looks good but silent hill 3 is gorgeous)or the fact that I'm calling a subtitled game not made by the original devs with completely different mechanics a spin off?
