Anyway, I'm saying the third-party developers seem to be dominating the business decisions of Nintendo as their cheap, crude, and borderline worthless titles (any game based on a kid's movie kthx) are selling like beer at Wrigley Field. So other developers see this and think, 'hey, why do I need to waste valuable capital making a high-value game when I can sell this powerpoint slideshow I made last night to someone's mom or grandpa who couldn't tell the difference between it and CoD4 and yet who would pay the same price for either? If I'm going to make a serious title, then I should be making it for a console who's users would appreciate (buy) it.' And they would be smart to do just that because video games are a business, and if you bought the game nobody gives a further damn if you enjoyed it or not, your money is theirs and that's what matters.
And therefore the Wii is, from a business standpoint, a supplement to the orthodox consoles and will remain so for as long as the developers treat it as such. It is the platform developers know they can turn to when they want to generate some revenue for a serious project on another console.
Bottom line: homebrew is the only thing that can save the wii, and is the best thing that ever happened to it.

Why are all of these 3rd pardy producers designing these cheezey games for wii. for example in every 5 games that come out only 2 are actualy worth buying. it seemes like the only one that does a good job is nintendo. (srry if it sounds like im ranting but really just think about it, the wii has become the system with mainly crap games) ={
WHY?

lol. I agree. It's the first and worst M-rated game for Wiiware. (I haven't even owned it. lol. I just read the description, then hurled.)

Yeah from my POV it's 3rd party develepers. example i own metroid prime 3, aiming and everything works pretty decently. but a friend let me borrow COD5, the aiming was louzy and it had corny gimmicks for melee attack and reloading. And it suck because for a while nintendo had a pretty good line up of games.

Anyone one could get access to a list of sdk functions by "borrowing" garage engines's torque game engine which has wii supportQuote

I'd say HVS know the wii more than twiizers, seeing as they have access to the official SDK, and info from Nintendo and stuff like that. No offence to twiizers, they're pretty awesome.
