Not a very good list.
Just because you didnt hear of some of those games doesnt mean they are bad. It's also funny how you dismiss ports simply on being ports but forget that Golden Eye is a port as well.

What do you think of Trauma Team and the rest auf the Trauma-series by the way? Trauma Team was by far one of my favorite Wii games.
I think that not hearing of the games listed is more an attack on the Wii's marketing rather than an attack on the quality itself. I mean, it is shameful that not too many people heard of Marumasa. That games was great, but I can understand how no one heard about it. Hell, that company's previous game Odin Sphere became a late PS2 classic sleeper hit.
Then he has a point of course, the only wii games you ever saw advertized outside of gaming magazines over here were Mad World, Monster Hunter Tri and Nintendo games.

Yeah. And on the paltry list that he quoted, Fatal Frame 4 is on it. That game wasn't even released outside of Japan.

Like I said before, that list was really reaching way too hard for love.

Good golly gosh, a Nintendo fanboi scrambling to prove his favorite console's worthiness by proudly holding up mediocre ports and shit-stained messes like the Conduit?

Then acting overly vindictive and defensive when people call out his bullshit?!?!?

THIS HAS LITERALLY NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
I know, right? Next thing you know, we'll see something totally unexpected, like, I dunno, someone going down the list title by title, and dismissing each one for arbitrary reasons (I never heard of it, so it can't be good! Some site gave this 8 out of ten, so I'll call it mediocre! It's a port, so I'll arbitrarily not count it when I wouldn't think of not counting it on one of the REAL systems! It's a cult favorite, so it's not like it's a game that matters!)

I mean... when have we ever seen THAT before?
Hey, if you have enough time to make snarky comments for no good reason, then it doesn't seem too unreasonable to look at a crappy list and state why it sucked.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, all you little fanfems(Can't call you boys as you argue and fret worse than little girls and get so angry you lose your ability to read lol) This is to all of you who have responded to me as you're too insignificant to respond to separately.

I appreciate you efforts in making me feel so very important. I was going to defend my position, but why? There has yet to be a coherent thought developed among your lot. So, I'll just say this. I have a beautiful wife, 2 gorgeous children, a great career and a full life with many friends. You guys, bless your hearts, don't have to work so hard to make me feel important. I ALREADY AM!!! So, thank you and continue if you must. I adore your reverence but feel it would only be fair to inform you that it's unnecessary.

Be blessed haters!

There's more. That's not including Wiiware, 1st Party other than Mario and Zelda. or virtual console.

I will concede the best games weren't marketed well and that falls on Nintendo but the Wii has a great catalog for any REAL gamer.
Um no a lot of these were not good games or were good games but not one the Wii. They were so different from the main games they couldn't even be considered a port and were the same game in name only.

Your whole cunning plan to just list a ton of bad and mediocre games with one or 2 actual good games thrown in isn't going to work buddy try again.
Oh, my bad, you must be one of those "FPS rules!, Call of Duty forever types". If you're so disgruntled, stop playing. Not only are those games good but check the ratings, they stack up. Some were even rated better than their PS360 counterparts. Nice try though. I'm not going to waste my time replying to both of you, so this is for you too Foolproof.
Nope I'm one of those Dark Souls, Infamous 2, Mass Effect 2, Batman AC, Baldur's Gate 2, Uncharted types. You know good games, I'm actually sick of FPS like Call of Duty I was just using it as an example.

Oh and Conduit LMAO it was mediocre at best, at best......

if we all recall the Wiis launch line up was just as impressive if not more so, and after that all we got was a Mario or Zelda game every other year. Their support of the Wii was almost nonexistent and 3rd party support descended into a bad joke.
Sorry but your memory is short term. There are plenty of great 3rd party games for the Wii.


Xenoblade Chonicles
Last Story
Monster Hunter Tri
Golden Eye
No More Heroes 1 & 2
Fire Emblem

After eliminating the bad ports that were done better on other systems, the mediocre games, the outright bad ones, we have the real list of good 3rd party games. I even added one for you.
Not to mention the fact Last Story just came out (too little too late) and to be honest I never even heard of Fire Emblem.

Can't blame you for that since its a niche market type of game. Its a turn based strategy RPG that is a bit unique since weapons have a limited uses and it gets panned from time to time because its difficulty is pretty tough. Also if a character dies in battle he/she is gone for the rest of the game. However it is a Wii exclusive that for that niche market was great.

I seem to recall the PS3 and Xbox 360 had pretty terrible launch titles as well.
Well the PS 3 did but made up for it latter. That's not the point tho you can't have a bait and switch with bad launch titles, that doesn't make any sense.
