I know they're not DS games, the guy was just talking about how the Wii doesn't have proper games. Excitetruck has a third party developer, they just made a game that belongs to a first party franchise, same goes for Battalion Wars. Know your developers my friend ;D

I realized that. I edited that out. I thought that the Devs for Excite Truck and Battalion Wars were second party though. Are they not?

The developers of Battalion Wars worked on House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii and EyeToy on the PS2. Monster Games (ExciteTruck/Bots) also developed games for the PS2/Xbox, but it's debatable whether they're second party or not, since they have developed for Nintendo the past 5 years. Even if you leave those two out of the list, it's still a long list of really strong titles.

Yeah It is a good list. I'm tired of people complaining about "no hardcore games" even though they haven't bought the ones that are already out and are really quite good. And there's even more that you could have added to that list also.

That's right. There are tons of games I'm still dying to play. Take Endless Ocean for example, not a very well known game, but a great and unique experience nonetheless.

most of those games if not any were on the DS so why do you say DS has no excuses? also all though some of those games ARE good most of them are multi platform, which if you bothered to read my post i said if it's multiplatform i get it for PS3 and the ones that are multiplatform just plain suck on the wii. wii has alot of good games, don't get me wrong(you all seem to be doing that) but 90% is bull and of the remaining 10% only about 3 % are so amazing you play again and again and you love it. and of that 3%, 2% is made by nintendo. i've given you numbers you may think th percentages of good games is too msall but did you ever stop to think that the wii has millions of unheard 20$ games? if you go to a game store they usually have 2 racks at the bottom of nintendo sections that are new but just plain suck and are cheap. the rest is just copies of okami, no more heroes brawl MKwii etc. the more known the game the more copies i only found one copy of radiant dawn at a store and i love that game it's my 3rd favorite for wii and it is TECHNICALLY third-party although nintendo works with intelligent systems and publishes all their games.
