Whats so bad about the wii's games so far?

AAA: 5

AAAA: 17

5 amazing games and 17 great games

Virtual Console : AAA: 2

AA: 17

2 Amazing classics and 17 great classics

Surely this is enough considering its been out for 1 year and 5 months?

Theres 22 great games out there and 19 classics for you to play and a lot of people may enjoy the A games as well

So whats so bad about the wii's line up?

Even if the 360 and PS3 has a better line up surely this many games is still good enough for wii only owners?

And If some of theses games don't appeal to you it may appeal to others so don't bash the wii line-up as it may be amazing for some yet not so good for others but I think there is something good for everyone in there

The wii has the best 1st party support out there, but everyone can see how there 3rd party support is lacking.xXHackettXx

I don't think the 3rd Party support is that bad :S

2 3rd party AAA

14 3rd Party AA

That ain't too bad IMO and a bunch of 3rd party A games and 7+ games can be good, thats why gamespot states them as "good"

I have a Wii, and for the most part I believe it gets a really bad rap. However, the disappointment is warranted to some degree. The console hasn't lived up to its true potential, and developers refuse to accept that the industry is changing and therefore look at the Wii as a dumping ground for crap to make a quick buck.

I mean, if the console is the easiest to develop for (due to familiar GC hardware) and the cheapest, it should be a no brainer that developers truly support it. Instead, they aren't. They dump licensed crap for 5 year olds, the dump minigame collections that are terrible. And what little 3rd party games are decent...they are just PS2 ports of old games nobody really cares about any more.

Even if the complainers are right, and the Wii is just a GC with motion controls, then why the hell haven't we seen games that look as good as Rogue Squadron, RE4 (other than the RE4 port of course) or even Viewtiful Joe? Why are the graphics for third party titles mostly terrible, or just PS2 ports. Why aren't more RE4 type games coming out?

And when Metroid Prime 3 proved the console could be amazing for FPS, why aren't developers MAKING FPS? Why aren't developers making some bloody games that are worth playing? The WIi is where the money is. Instead they just use it to rip people off and make a quick buck to subsidize their expensive games on other consoles that probably won't make as much money anyway.

It is really sad. I enjoy the Wii and have been a strong supporter. But I'm quickly becoming depressed at the crap coming out. No More Heroes was a nice change of pace, but even the graphics for that game were kind of bad IMHO. People always hate to hear the "lazy devs" comment, but clearly the Wii shows that most third pary devs are so stubbornly stuck in their ways that the success of the Wii is completely ignored. They would rather make SPlinter Cell 13, or spend a billion dollars making some FPS that will probably flop anyway, instead of making a great, innovative game on a cheaper console with the largest user base world wide.

Somebody posted a great article last week about developers self-destructing on the Wii and why. I think that is something everyone should read...especially third party developers themselves. Because the fact that they are pretty much ignoring the biggest success story in possibly console history says a lot about the state of the industry today.

There is nothing wrong with the exclusives on the Wii...if you are buying it as a second platform when you have a PC/PS3/360 as a first, than you are set....

the problem comes into play if you are buying it as a primary system...their just arent enough multiplats to justify a purchase...and what multiplats are on the Wii, are pretty likely to be very poor compared to the full counterparts.
