How much of your Wii library is 3rd party?
« on: February 03, 2008, 02:22:27 PM »
After a certain thread was bumped in the handheld forum, it got me thinking about how many 3rd party games I actually own for the Wii and that it would be a good idea for a similar thread here in the console discussion, so here it is. I'm proud to say that exactly half of my library is 3rd party games, and the other half is first party. Right now, my library is this:

1st Party Games
--------------------
1. Wii Sports
2. Wii Play
3. Zelda: Twilight Princess


3rd Party Games
---------------------
1. Ghost Squad
2. Resident Evil 4
3. The Godfather: Blackhand Edition

So I currently have a total of 6 games, with three being 1st party and three being 3rd party. I think it is safe to say that my library is evenly balanced. Can your Wii library claim to be as fair and balanced as mine?
is your sanity...

Discounting Wii Sports, I have three of each.  And Zelda, but that's my dad's.  He ended up playing my copy of the 'Cube version instead, anyway.

1st Party: 9
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Excite Truck
Super Paper Mario
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Mario Strikers: Charged
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Battalion Wars 2
Super Mario Galaxy
Link's Crossbow Training

Rayman Raving Rabbids
No More Heroes

Hudson:
Kororinpa Marble Mania

Codemasters:
Heatseeker

Capcom:
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

Sega:
Alien Syndrome (NWR's review is so completely wrong)

EA:
Madden NFL 08
Medal of Honor Heroes 2

Activision:
Guitar Hero III

Bethesda:
Star Trek: Conquest

Sierra:
Geometry Wars: Galaxies

Lucasarts:
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga


I plan to add 1 more to each category in the near future with Brawl (of course) and either MLB 2K8 (if it's good) or MLB Power Pros (if they screw up MLB 2K8).

EDIT: I also bought 3 other 3rd party games along the way, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz which I didn't like and sold, Elebits which I liked but not enough to put up with the 100 block save file so I sold it, and Madden 07 which I still have but I never count multiple versions of the same sports game when I count my games. I'd also probably sell Star Trek Conquest if I thought I could get anything for it, I seem to disagree with NWR on Trek games, I like the one they gave a 4.5 and I dislike the one that got an 8.

At 23 I'm already past the halfway point to the highest amount I had for the Cube and also more than half as many games as I have for the DS, despite having that 2 years longer, having gotten both at launch.

WarioWare

Pokemon Battle Revolution
Mario Party 8

3rd (17 Titles)
----
No More Heros
Super Swing Golf
Trauma Center
Guitar Hero 3
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Red Steel

Madden 07
Alien Syndrom
RE:4 Wii Edition
Naruto Clash of the Ninja
Zack & Wiki
Marvel Ultimate Allience
Elebits
RE: Umbrela Chronicles
DDR: Hottest Party
Manhunt 2

I'm planning on getting more titles but I really don't have the time to play what I have. But I'm pretty sure more of them are 3rd party, at least the majority. I also just realized that it has only been 1 year and I already have about half the liberary of what I had for the Gamecube. We have two Wii's at home because of the number of people we have living here. (All my siblings) We also own two 360's, so that should explain the x2 on some of the titles. We are probally going to end up with two Smash Brothers
Stupidity is lost on my. Then again I'm almost always lost.
