So I just bought a shiny new Nintendo Wii console. Obviously, the first game I bought for it was Super Mario Galaxy, duh. Then Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess filled in the rest. I got Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn just because I've always been a FE fan. Anyway I noticed all the games that seemed to be good on this console are first-party, Nintendo-branded franchises. Where are the good third-party stuff? Just click on my profile and check out my games list if you want to know what kind of games I like, but it would seem that besides first party, long-time franchise hits, I can't find any third party games that are any good.

I have to say I love this funky little console, although it's having something of an inferiority complex sitting next to an Xbox 360 and a PS3 :D. I must say I get much more exercise from this console than from any other console I've ever owned. Also, does anyone know if there are any games besides the horrendous Pokemon Battle Revolution that can link up with my Nintendo DS Lite? I want to be able to use them together the way I can use my Playstation Portable with my Playstation 3, but I can't seem to find any games out there that let me do that (besides the aformentioned Pokemon game).

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is great if you want to play online. No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki are supposed to be very good choices, but I haven't played those.

Zack and Wiki is arguably the best third party game on the system right now. I personally consider it the number 2 game on the system right now, beat out most first party titles save for Galaxy... and the only reason for that is because I felt Z&W could have been a bit longer than it was.

Best third party game is for sure Zack and Wiki. Best third party sports is MLB Power Pros. Best third party FPS is Medal Of Honor Heros 2.

Ok so it looks like Zack and Wiki and No more Heroes for me :). If I can find No More Heroes, it seems to be sold out at all the GameStops near me :o. By the way, do you guys think I should keep my pre-order for Spore on the PC, or should I get it for the Wii instead? Traditionally, I've always played Sid Meier's stuff on the PC (SimCity, etc) but Spore on Wii looks soooo interesting; the quirky Sim-ness of Sid + the quirky Wii-ness of the Wiimote... mmmmmm....

No More Heroes, Resident Evil 4:Wii Edition, Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles, Nights:Journey Of Dreams, Manhunt 2, Mercury Meltdown Revolution, Sonic and the Secret Rings and SSX Blur are the most solid 3rd party games available. Haven't played a few of the others suggested, but from what I hear Zack and Wiki and Medal Of Honor:Heroes 2 are also good.

Geometry Wars Galaxies links up with your ds to provide the original Geometry Wars arcade game to be downloaded.

I believe they are planning more DS and Wii connectivity.
