The Wii may suck a ton of donkey plantain but the DS has the best NATIVE gaming library for this gen. Nintendo has no problem with getting good games to be made it's just that Wii is pretty terrible and no one wants to develop for it because it's so casual.
Not quite. No-one wants to develop for the wii because of shitty work on the part of retailers: They stocked tons and tons of shovelware, inevitably that ship doesn't sail very far, but by not stocking the games that don't suck, or at best sticking them in between a pile of absolute crap, no-one can find them, and people don't go there anymore looking for them.
I know its not a wii title, but when retailers refused to stock Okamiden (This might only have been a UK thing) in store, you know something is fucked up. Retailers seriously don't want your game unless its a FPS, "hardcore", or "casual". And yes, there are lots of games that don't fit in either of the very small definitions of hardcore and casual.
