Nintendo Now writes: Over the past 3 years Nintendo Now has been noticing that more and more developers continue to complain about sales on the Wii. Big budget exclusives like, The Conduit, Mad World, and the previously mentioned Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles have all sold somewhat mediocre. Although High Voltage Software didn't complain about the sales of The Conduit, they seemed somewhat satisfied, Wii owners still realized it didn't sell as well as High Voltage made it out to be. I've come to notice some things about all of Nintendo's 3rd party developers.

Instead, let's take a look at those video game sequels that not only live up to their predecessors but greatly surpass them in quality. It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."
Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4
Luigis Mansion 3 doesn’t really belong in that list because the first game was great and it’s sequels didn’t really redefine the series.
There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
Numbered entries aside, there have been a whole host of other Resident Evil games, across multiple platforms. Here are some you might have missed.
I don't think it'll get as worse as the 3rd party support on the Gamecube (hopefully not). But yeah it's getting crazy. Good read
I agree, if this gets as bad as the Gamecube i don't think people will stick around to see Wii 2
Third parties have never had any luck with the Wii. Wii has been ninty's console pretty much. they needed that however, all of this profit they're making is giving them lots to invest into their future, so the next nintendo console will likely be able to match or beat it's competition feature for feature.
Big budget? LMFAO That explains why NONE of those games are ten hours long. Funny a** read. 7_7
EDIT: Third parties can wipe their a**es with the money they are using to develop these Wii games. Unless what happened to Factor5 happens to one of these Wii developers, third parties can't say crap.
Good article.
