achhibbar | February 14, 2008 | Blog | Wii 
When it comes to Wii support, how do the major publishers/developers in the world stack-up? Here's a ranking of 14 of the biggest players and their major releases, starting with the poorest.
Rockstar have typically maintained a healthy distance from Nintendo development, but the Wii is beginning to change that. The upcoming port of Bully looks to make excellent use of the hardware, but truly exclusive games still remain elusive. Grand Theft Auto: Pipe Dream...

    Right now? I'll say EA Sports. They made good games such as Madden 08 and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 which has good gameplay controls and a fun online.

    Intelligent Systems could have made the list. Mario Strikers Charged was a success and they did a brilliant job on Super Paper Mario.

      I really don't think EA Sports had anything to do with Medal of Honor..

      Intelligent Systems is first-party, by the way. They are just one of Nintendo's many teams. It was formed by former Nintendo R&D1 (Research and Development 1) employees, including Gunpei Yokoi.

      They are a very talented team. From Super Metroid to Super Paper Mario, they do have an impressive history. They didn't have anything to do with Mario Strikers, though.

    Ubisoft and Capcom are the best by far.

      What did Capcom make for the Wii? I didn't know they did make any games for it yet.

        Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (highest rated third-party Wii game) and Zack and Wiki (highest rated third-party Wii exclusive) are their stand-out titles, but Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is a pretty solid game as well. They are also currently bringing Okami to the Wii and developing Monster Hunter 3 (not a big franchise in North America, but it's huge in Japan). I'd say that they are definitely the best Wii developer so far.

        Ubisoft...well, they get points for publishing No More Heroes in North America, and the first Rayman Raving Rabbids was surprisingly impressive game, but other than that, I'm not too happy with them. Red Steel 2 has potential, as long as they don't mess it up.

    Capcom and EA are owning Wii right now. Monster Hunter and Spore will just prove that further.
