The Nintendo Wii’s 2008 third party line-up: 10 of the best

March 26, 2008 in News comments 7

After yesterday's story covering 10 of the very best Nintendo-developed games to look forward to in 2008, Nintendic has followed up with an article that focusses on what are likely to be the Wii's top dogs from third-party companies.

Amongst a number of mistakes and oversights that Nintendo only has to blame on itself, one of the main reasons that its consoles languished in last place behind its competitors in the past two generations was a lack of continued, comprehensive support from third party developers. However, with the arrival of the Nintendo Wii (despite a reserved first year from many quarters), things are looking very much on the up. Whether core or casual gaming is your bag, what we know of upcoming third party releases for Wii in 2008 is looking very promising indeed. With this in mind, Nintendic has chosen ten of what it thinks will be the non-Nintendo-developed Wii games to look out for as the year unfolds.

    you serious? when a top 10 list contains these titles, something is wrong. there have got to be better 3rd party software coming out than this garbage.

    i may purchase 1, maybe 2 of those titles.

    That list is crap.

    They fail to mention Fatal Frame, Okami, Red Steel 2, Tales of Symphonia, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Fragile, King Story, Rock Band, etc.

    The only decent games they mentioned were Final Fantasy, Bloom Blox, PES, and of course, the various WiiWare games.

    Fatal Frame... chance it'll arrive outside of Japan this year? Star Wars, Rock Band, Okami - not exclusive to Wii/ports, veeery little known about Red Steel. Tales is a good 'un though.

      Good chance, since it's releasing in the summer in Japan.

      It has been confirmed for a 2008 release though, so it should be on the list.

      And King Story is being developed by the creators of Final Fantasy XII, Super Mario RPG, Harvest Moon, Dragon Quest VIII, and Kingdom Hearts. So things are looking good.

    No Zack and Wiki? Well it came out here in Australia in 2008 so that should at least count.
