Games At-a-Glance: Wii Quality

—

The Nintendo Wii is an odd duck. It's innovative but low-tech; it's accessible for gamers, but difficult to nail from a game design perspective; it has a large install base, but one that has proven tough for third-parties to crack. Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse ...

When it comes to review scores, Wii software doesn’t fair too well
GoNintendo — ... Well, that’s not exactly the glowing numbers you would hope to see when pooling together Wii software review scores. Honestly, I’m not surprised to see that type of response, but that doesn’t make it any less painful to see. We already know that plenty of devs dump shovelware on the system, and that doesn’t help review score averages. I think even worse is the fact that people continue to buy those piss-poor games.

So, How Many Wii Games Are Any Good? [Wii]
Kotaku — ... with over half the system's catalogue scoring a 65 or lower on Metacritic. Things are just as bleak at the top end of the review spectrum. While 13% of 360 games scored 85 or higher, and 17% of PS3 games earned the same score, only 4% of Wii games achieved similar review aggregates. 4%! That's dreadful.

PS3 - 17% above or equal to 85% review scores, 30% scoring 65% or less. 360 - 14% above or equal to 85% review scores, 38% scoring 65% or less. Wii - 4% above or equal to 85% review scores, 54% scoring 65% or less. You can see all three of the comparisons at these spots: PS3, 360 and Wii. Obviously review scores aren't everything and having more games on your ...

Is The Wii Drying Up?
Technology Blog (UK), Hi-Tech Gadgets & Gaming - Zath! — ... The quote above is from another review talking about how little games for the Wii are rated over 85%, and there aren’t that many. Whereas the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 seem to bring out big titles almost every month that hit the 90% mark and generate a big buzz around the gaming world. The PS3 and Xbox 360 have their fair share of rubbish too, but it’s seems not as much as the Wii. ...
