[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="mijkil"]If you think The Conduit and Deadly Creatures represent a strong 3rd party line-up then I really feel sorry for you guys. mijkil

Who are you to decide what's strong or not on other people console's?

Im sure they're, fun little games for the less demanding consumer, but they hardly compete with the kind of big-budget, epic experiences available in the superb selection of 3rd party multiplats on 360/ps3

You mean the creative, innovative, and non-generic games like Gears of War, Halo, and Resistance? :shock:

Oh wait...

Yeah, opinions is what keep the world turning around.

I love posts like this because stuff like the puzzles in Zack and Wiki are far more thought provking/demanding and difficult than most PS3/360 games could ever hope to achieve.:lol: Games need to be weighed on a game to game basis regardless of platform, that's is a far more appropriate way to compare. (not that you didn't already know this of course)

Perhaps youve not noticed but the whole point of this thread is that the big-budget, tent-pole 3rd party games dont really exist on Wii, and arent coming anytime soon,
This is not an opinion, its a FACT, or perhaps you disagree, and would like to point out evidence to the contrary.

to be fair, halo:CE and GeOW were innovative, they were generic though... you could have used better examples.

What does that have to do with the wii having no good games or that the games on the wii must be less demanding? If this was the point of your thread, why didn't you just say that? In fact, why are you making the same argument that no one ever denies?

It may be a fact that the wii is lacking in the quality big budget 3rd party games, but the wii still has a lot of quality 3rd party titles. They are just more niche, and less mainstream.

Alright. You tell me. Is it not cheaper to develop for the Wii in comparison to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 306? Does the Wii not have the biggest install base of all consoles this "generation"? Which development cycle requires more work and dedicated to publish a game on? Because of this, you would expect it possible for developers to make a proper and decent game on the System.-CheeseEater-

Developers aren't used to the controls of the Wii mote, they're used to the more normal button and thumbstick controls of the PS3 and 360.

Licking an anthill could also be considered fun too, but some opinions aren't very good.

The problem with the Wii is that it's really great games (MadWorld, No More Heroes) get ignored by the majority of the Wii's consumers. The majority of owners of the Wii are the casual crowd who prefer games (if you can call it that) like Wii Fit. If more people would buy the gems when they come around, then more game companies might start to take the Wii more seriously. As it is now though, most companies are satisfied dishing out shovelware that is cheap to devleop, for a nice sum of profit. Wii owners have the power to change things. Granted, Nintendo and the other companies developing for the Wii could say to hell with it and keep pumping out the shovelware, but if Wii owners make an effort, then we may see change.

This is true. I just bought no more heroes, but i went to 2 gamestops, 2 wal marts, target, and a local game/dvd/cd store before I found it. No More Heroes was one of the best 3rd party games on wii in 2008, and the majority of stores I went to weren't selling it. Shame.
