There are a lot of reasons third party development dried up in the N64 era and continued that trend through the GC era, but that wasn't one of them.Originally Posted by JKTrix
I've got to agree with MILF, and it's really something I've been saying all along; the controller so far has been little more than a gimmick. I don't need, nor want a party system. I rarely have the chance to get together with more than one or two friends once a week to play games, and we have a lot more fun passing the Guitar Hero controller around or going a few rounds in Fight Night than we did playing Wii Sports. For people like me, the Wii offers little to nothing of any gaming value to me. When it gets more titles with some depth maybe, but I don't see that happening anytime soon as the early success and low development costs seem to be encouraging quick development of some pretty simple games to try and capitalize on the success (I think the Wii's popularity took developers by surprise as much as it did consumers). It seems like very few companies aside from Nintendo are actually developing major titles for it, and since I've certainly made no secret of my dissapointment in recent Nintendo titles, you can guess where that leaves me.
