Well, up until last week I said every 3rd party game on Wii platforms is weak to mediocre and good only in case of Rayman Rabbids...
But then I saw ack & Wiki. If such a masterpiece can be made for Wii by 3rd party, then it's laziness of devs that other 3rd party Wii games look poor and last-gen and control badly.
Those guys are swiming in money, they should buy some studios to create more and more quality games frequently.
So far for the Wii:
1st party games: Mostly good.
3rd party games: Mostly bad. (There are exceptions)
Lazy devs? Bad ports?
I think companies weren't prepared for the runaway success of the Wii, and rushed out bad ports to quickly capitalize on the system's popularity. That's a shame, because in the midst of all the garbage, a few gems like Rayman, Elebits, and Zack and Wiki have less chance to stand out.
Nintendo should tighten the reins a little and make sure that 3rd party games meet certain qualities.
nintendo is number one in producing it's own characters for it's company
