No. The question is do the other console owners get bothered by the fact that they don't get all of the Wii's awesome games.

No, the only great wii games are the ones with it built in mind. Multi-plats never are and so will always be the inferior version. The only time wii gets a good multi-plat is when it really isn't. It's when devs split off a different team and build something just for wii like pro evo or force unleashed.

First off, the xbox and ps3 get all the multiplats becuas they are basically long lost twin bothers. The have comparable graphics and the controller is the exact same (only difference is the d-pad and left analog stick are switched) so its natural that games made for xbox can be put on ps3 with no problems (and vice versa). Developers cant just make a game and then just decide to put it on the wii. Its so different from the other systems and so much about the game has to be changed. So it doesn't bother me that the wii doesn't get the multiplats because chances are it would turn out differently on the wii. And like someone said earleir, does it bother the ps3/xbox owners that they miss out on the best games ever created?

Most of the multi-platform games are ones I don't care that much about anyways, like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Doody.

i agree... for example tak MoH Vanguard.. gamespot despised it for the jerky controls but still it was a great game and had a nice multiplayer setting or MoH Heroes also great games. so if they could do this with MoH wy the heck not with CoD.... it would be nice to see more shooters in the wii and also some decent soccer game like PES 2008 for the wii. Of course they got revolutionary controls and all the crap my god the graphics of Fifa 08 were so horrible i felt like puking so they need to make some imprivments fo rthe wii like more HD games.

The same way I would explain pro evo and force unleashed. They got special wii teams to work on them.Maybe you should had read my post more clearly.

No. For the main reason is this; if the 360 and PS3 get a really, and I mean REALLY, bad game that the Wii doesn't have, it only brings down those two consoles.

No because I'd much rather play those games on my ps3. I wouldn't want a version with worse graphics, stripped features, poor online, and tact on controls. Some games may be an exception (like The Force Unleashed) and if the controls truly make a difference than it would be another story. But like I said, for the most part, I wouldn't want multiplats like GTA4, Soul Calibur 4, and Assassin's Creed on the Wii.

I'm more bothered by the fact that most Wii games seem to be shovelware. The Wii needs quality control, or just better games in general to balance everything out.

I have avoided it. That's why all of the games that I've purchased for my Wii are by Nintendo. All three of them. The other six are by other developers and I never play them (I didn't buy them either, my brother did).

Not at all. I'd rather not get inferior, watered-down ports. I want originality. I bought the Wii because it was different than the other consoles.

Not really, considering I also own a PS3. Would it bother me if I didn't own a PS3? Very much so.

I have failed to be impressed by any multiplats on the Wii really, well that isn't strictly true actually but I seem to find the 360 version better. Wii games just work better built from the ground up, and ofcourse certain multiplats go that route and are a lot better for it.

Thank you, captain obvious, I'll take note of that. But um, last I checked, I own a Nintendo Wii so I am entitled to post just as much as anyone here who owns one as well.

Oh and please don't get all pissed at my post. I backed my answer up with a solid reason so I wasn't just going all off. If you came in here expecting every single post to be "oh yeah I wouldn't cuz I love the Wii and all of its glorious exclusives!!!" then you had another thing coming.

No because there is a reason for this. Most of the big multiplats, GTA4, RE5, CoD4 started development like just after Wii came out or even before it did, so they were hardly going to start making a Wii version from scratch because they wouldn't be able to do it. With the multiplats coming out at the end of this year though, most of them are coming out on the Wii, and I'd be very surprised if by next Christmas almost all the big multiplats aren't on Wii.

yea alone in the dark is a bad game... but when you think about it it is very innovative in all consoles... and as wii has the motion sensor you can have loads of interactivity makin it better than the other versions...

And also the godfather was a really great game they should make more like it for the wii

Its not a huge problem for me because I also have my own PC. I think other consoles should be jealous because they don't get the amazing first party titles that Nintendo is oh so famous for. But I personally would like to see more multi plats to also come to the Wii, it would be nice for a change :-)

Little King
Tales of Symphonia 2
Arc Rise Fantasia
FFCC: crystal bearer
Monster Hunter 3
Mad World
Skate it
Star wars the clone wars
de Blob
Deadly creature
The Conduit
Fragile
The All play brand from EA
Harvest moon: tree of peace
Rune Factory Frontier
Tenchu 4

*all these games are 3rd parties*

There are also good multiplatorms coming out

Force Unleashed (great visuals, great controls, more stages)
Call of duty world at war
Sonic unleashed

I don't understand your complain really

even tho you own a PC there are loads of problems with it ... yea ok maybe your PC has all the graphical crap and things to meet the requirements of some games.. but wat bout the da ppl that dont have it and dont own an xbox or PS3... yea just go buy one... wat Im sayin is that it would be nice as you said to see games like COD Grand Theft Auto MGS and all of those.

No, it doesn't bother me. I think everyone should shoot for two gaming devices to get a good variety of games. For me, this generation its PC and Wii. It offers a great cross-section of games, although not all of them. But short of having all systems, that's never a reality. Besides, a person can only play so many games with the time available to them.

MGS4 and RE5 . I mean come on , all resident evil sequels (RE0 , 1 , 2 , 3 and 4) were on a nintendo console so why can't they just make this one for the wii .It won't matter if the graphics are worse , but at least make the graphics the same (or better if possible) as RE4 . As for MGS4 , Kojima did mention about the game moving to other platforms in an interview .

I don't know about the Force Unleashed. I saw some gameplay videos on IGN, and though the physics aren't badly done on the Wii the graphics look kinda boring and simple to me... I mean, when I watched that video I immediately thought that Jedi Outcast was better-looking on my old-school Voodoo 3 system (it's too long ago to be sure though), so it's not clear to me why the game can't be made to look better...
