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?

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.

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

Student loans my friend, student loans. Ask for more than you need for tuition and you get the difference back. I'll be paying this back over the next 25 years of my life... *sigh*
Edit: Clarification: I am NOT doing this, but it is something I've seen a lot in other students. But for me, my part time job pays for my games. The student loans pay for my room and board.

Probably the only three 3rd party games I can remember buying new for GC were Killer7, RE4, and Super Monkey Ball.
Yeah, the Wii and DS have shown marked improvements in my third party buying habits. Maybe diehard Nintendo fans like us actually do support third parties, it's just that the more casual nintendo fans, as well as regular games who own another system as well as a Wii, are less likely to buy third party Wii games...?

Not sure about the regular gamers, because I own all 3 systems and yet I still strongly support Wii titles. Granted I am only one example but I think there are enough unique Wii experiences out there from 3rd parties that people that own other systems will still support them.

Here is a list of Wii games you own that GameRankings.com lists as having an average score that's less than 75%:
Quote
Link's Crossbow Training
Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party
Endless Ocean
My Sims
Scarface
ManHunt 2
Ghost Squad
Star Trek: Conquest
Alien Syndrome
NiGHTS
Godzilla: Unleashed
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Samurai Warriors Katana
Ninjabread Man
Crash of the Titans
Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games
Carnival Games
Dragon Blade
Dewy's Adventure
Soul Calibur Legends
Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
Kororinpa Marble Mania
Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix
Mortal Kombat Armageddon
Call of Duty 3
Red Steel
Far Cry
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Metal Slug Anthology
Cooking Mama
Heatseeker
Super Swing Golf
Sonic & The Secret Rings
Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law
Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party
Assuming an average price of $45 per game, you've spent about $1,500 on the above games. I'm sure some some of them were worthy of your money (critics aren't always right). But, just think about this: for the money you spent on those games, you could have bought all of the following:
- A 12 month subscription to GameFly.
- A (non-gimped) Xbox 360.
- A PlayStation 2.
- An 8MB PS2 memory card, a wireless Xbox 360 controller, and a Dual Shock 2.
- Anywhere from 10 to 40 GOOD GAMES ($700 worth), such as The Orange Box, Shadow of the Colossus, Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Okami.
Imagine how many talented people you could be supporting, and how much you could be learning about game design, if only you started buying video game products that don't have the Official Nintendo Seal. If only you stopped thinking one of the most successful businesses in Japan needs your charity.

Same here, actually.
I've got...
17 Wii games (plus 33 VC titles)
11 XBox 360 games (plus 18 XBLA titles)
2 PS3 games (nothing from the PSN Store, yet)

- Dragon Ball Z - Budokai Tenkaichi 3

In other words, Kairon is essentially flushing his student loan money down the toilet. These thousands of dollars worth of games he is splurging on now might get a few months of play, but the debt is something he will have to live with for years to come. Some of his games certainly have replay value, but many of them don't. I mean, Ninjabread man? I've heard nothing but bad things about that. This loan money will have to be repaid at some point, and I don't think these are particularly wise investments.....

I'm planning on getting Umbrella Chronicles at some point. And I'll probably buy Baroque (though not in March since I'm getting some other game on the 9th of that month) and Oboro Muramasa Yotoden if Atlus (or another publisher, but most likely Atlus) would be so kind. And I'll probably end up getting House of the Dead 2 and 3

It's true! IT'S ALL TRUE! T_T
Well, actually, I do have a job. That's the money I'm flushing down the toilet. I've never actually inflated my student loans, though other students do that to buy laptops and cars. The student loans actually enable me to live without any rent or "living expenses" for the time being, so pratcically all my earnings from my student job is treated as discretionary income.
That said, never take financial advice from me. LOL.

1: Endless Ocean
2: Excite Truck
3: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
4: Link's Crossbow Training
5: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
6: Super Mario Galaxy
7: Super Paper Mario
8: WarioWare: Smooth Moves
9: Wii Play
10: Wii Sports
3rd Party Games
---------------------
1: Dewy's Adventure
2: Elebits
3: Ghost Squad
4: Red Steel
5: Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
6: Trauma Center: New Blood
7: Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
If I had a bit more money, on the 3rd party side, NMH would have a place on the list as would Mercury Meltdown Revolution and Umbrella Chronicles. Which would give me a pretty even split.

Star Trek: Conquest
Godfather
Resident Evil 4
Raving Rabbids
Mario, Sonic, Olympics
MySims
Trauma Center
I have about as many 1st party titles, but I won't bother listing them since they're the pretty standard melange of Marios and Zeldas (plus Fire Emblem, which is possibly my favorite Nintendo franchise). For me, the Nintendo/3rd party ratio is about what it's been since the NES days, ALTHOUGH the only Wii games out there that I want but don't own are both 3rd party (Puzzle Quest and Geometry Wars). Actually, I can't find Puzzle Quest anywhere.

Other big wins are Sega and Electronic Arts, but I actually have been easing off on EA purchases, in the future they may become less important a third party for me because they have offered few Wii games to appeal to me as of late. Sega, on the other hand, has been great, constant, and will floursih in the future with great game sin the pipeline.
Also, Capcom has some very steady offerings. Activision should be in trouble though because after buying 3 games from them near launch, it took me a year to buy a fourth in GH3. Ubisoft is in a very similar situation with no titles bought for that year between launch and No More Heroes. Konami benefits from having Hudson's titles lumped in with them, and Atlus' Trauma Center games put them above the rest of 1-game publishers.
Oh! And EPIC FAIL to Bandai Namco. You're a MAJOR publisher, but you've only got me to buy 1 game?!?! And where are the gundam games, hey? I would've bought BOTH that Gundam SD game, and especially salivate for Gundam 0079. Geez...

I'm waiting to see how badly 2K screws up MLB 2K8 for the Wii. If they do a decent job I'll get that because I want the current rosters and schedule and minor league teams and such, but if it sucks I'll get Power Pros. I'm a bit scared to get Power Pros, though, my friend has it and I beat the computer in my first game 62-0.

I don't want to get The Godfather without seeing the movie first,
I played the game first and then watched the movie for the very first time not long after playing the game. Personally, I'm glad I did. Playing the game will make you want to see the movie, but I'm not sure the opposite is true.

So there we go! I have an even split between my 1st and 3rd party Wii games at the moment!
The next three games I look to pick up are Okami, Mario Kart Wii, and Wii Fit, so 1st party games will pull ahead, but it's still a very close ratio.

Judging by that at the moment I have 8 first party games and 4 third party games. Therefore two thirds or 66% of my collection is first party. I would probably have a lot more Wii games if I didn't also own a 360 and a PS3.

I don't actually own that many for any one console as I'm pretty picky about what games I buy. I also have a PSP and a DS which adds to the mix.
Wii - 12 games.
PS3 - 15 games
360 - 20 games
DS - 25 games
PSP - 15 games
I still have a lot of PS2 and Gamecube games I still play too. For the 360 I generally only buy exclusive games as I'm on my second one and I don't know if i'll buy another one if this one goes. As all my consoles are imports I have no warranty on them. When my 360 Premium broke with the three red lights syndrome I couldn't send it in to MS to get it repaired as it was a US console so I ended up buying a US Elite.

I'm kind of picky when it comes to my games but I have bought some stinkers. Unfortunatly I usually don't have to time to play through most of them. Since I work full time, go to school, plus I'm trying to get a game out so I can pay for my loan payment when they come after I graduate.

Third party:
MLB Power Pros
Guitar Hero 3
Zack & Wiki
Guitar Hero: World Tour
That's a pretty good balance between third party and first party. Ignore Wii Sports (which I didn't choose to own anyway) and it's dead even. Too bad only one of my third party games is actually a Wii exclusive.

Geez, there are so many good-to-great titles missing from that list. No wonder you complain about not having anything to play!
Super Paper Mario is the only currently released title I'm really interested in that I don't already have. Any of the other stuff that interests me I can get or have got on my Cube or PS2 which both offer normal controls and usually cost less money. If Twilight Princess was a Wii exclusive I would have it for sure but I wasn't going to buy a brand new console for a game I could get on a console I already owned and with superior controls. So I have the Cube version and thus one of the best Wii games is automatically not in my collection.
I find the third party selection on the Wii to be really pathetic so I'm not going to have a bunch of okayish third party games. I hate waggle so I'm not going to have anything available on a console I already own. I hate non-games so I'm not going to have any of the Wii ____ series. So what's going to interest me the most is the first party game core games and I have most of the major ones of those.
My tastes aren't any different than they were on the Cube. The difference is at the same time the Cube had better third party support and Nintendo's output was 100% core gamer focused and thus there were more first party games being released that I was interested in. So my Cube collection at the same time was bigger. My Wii game collection isn't small because I hate games but because the Wii library is really weak.

100%? I think your exaggerating a bit....do you not remember all of the Mario whoring? Mario Party up the whazoo, all the mario sports titles? Sure Mario Strikers was good and watching Luigi dunk over Carmelo Anthony was funny but for the most parts those games were not for core gamers. By the way when does another Mario Party come around?
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 23, 2009, 08:59:54 PM
Another Mario Party will arrive after Motion Plus is established. For now, Mario Party 8 is the most successful game in the series, and therefore will not get an immediate Rayman Rabbid Balance Board sequel.

So you are casual as in doesn't play much but doesn't like casual games.What do you consider a casual game?

Guitar Hero, Mario party, things like that. I guess casual/party game is more what I meant. I did own games like Sega soccer slam and rogue squardron for the gamecube so I dont consider myself a nintendo fanboy or anything.

See this is why I don't like the casual gamer moniker, I'd say that he just plays games occasionally probably due to time constrains which is perfectly fine. People seriously need to understand that people have different tastes.
