3 of each with reasons why (let's make this a great thread!)

Here are my reasons:

Q1. What makes Nintendo games so great?
1. Great art direction and use of colour.
2. Unique and fun game mechanics.
3. Great use of music.

Q2. Great 3rd party Wii games that have the Nintendo vibe
1. Little King Story (Great art direction, music and characters)
2. Need for Speed: Nitro (insanely fun, challenging but not cheap, awesome soundtrack, brilliant visuals & controls)
3. Zack & Wiki (Charming characters, art direction is spot on, fully realised world, fun game mechanics)

What makes Nintendo games great?

Wonderful cast of charming characters

Always raises the bar in the graphics/art direction department

Fun and accessable for everyone

3rd Party games:

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (Yeah some people don't like this game but I absolutely love it. It has a stunning presentation, unique gameplay in the flight levels, buckets of charm, and one of the greatest videogame soundtracks of all time)

de Blob (It plays like no other game out there, highly polished presentation and impressive art direction, an amazing soundtrack that responds to how you play)

ExciteBots (Not sure if this counts, but it's some of the most fun I've ever had playing a videogame. The graphics are also vibrant and colorful, it controls great, and the framerate surprisingly never drops despite it being an incredibly fast racer)

First party Wii games, First Party gamecube games, PS2 games, and PC games. I only have one 3rd party Wii game right now.

It's easy. The cries of the Nintendo fanboy population are collected up into a giant machine at Nintendo's Japanese HQ, and then Miyamoto channels the sheer energy to create something.

Also, there's magic involved somewhere. And cake, lots of cake.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

Yes I am and I explained this in a thread a few weeks ago to you and yet it seems you didn't get the point, so well, I guess that's your loss. Then again opinions are opinions.

I'm not saying it is completely terrible, just not even close to "great". There are some good 3rd party developers, like SEGA, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but here it goes, Activision, maybe Capcom, and Square Enix, but not a lot of others if any. And even their games are better on the other consoles.

As i said opinions are opinions but your forgetting honorable mentions like EA, XSeed, Frontier, Hudson, and Ubisoft who all contribute great third party support. Its a fact too.

EA- Dead Space Extraction, Tiger woods, other sports games I don't wanna mention.
Xseed- Little King's story
Capcom- with they're upcoming games like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and RE: Darkside chronicles, Mega man 9, and Umbrella Chronicles
Frontier- Lostwinds 1&2
Hudson- Wiiware in GENERAL!
Ubisoft- TMNT, No More Heroes, Rabbids Go Home.

And this^^ is just some of the great third party support provided on the Nintendo Wii.

Just for you.
