Erm, well this really isn't Z.O.E related but nonetheless...

While I agree that the Wii, like the DS, is choking on the amount of shovelware that get's put out for it some of the best games are still third party titles. Examples; No More Heroes 1 & 2, Muramasa - Demon Blade & Sin & Punishmment - Star Successor.

A lot of games that end up on the Wii with what you might call "token" motion controls (ie they only acknowledge the Wii's abilities by replacing buttons with 'flick the Wii-mote' controls) at least in part because the whole project is on a limited budget. The Wii being significantly cheaper to develop for, again like the DS vs the PSP, means that more developers are willing to take a chance with something new on it but conversely means that shovelware becomes the consoles biggest problem.

If you're worried about good third party games then it's something you have to dig down a bit for on the Wii, but there are quite a few there unfortunately many of the Wii's best games really have no business on the Wii...(Sonic Colours, I'm looking at you)
