 | How Many Wii Games are Good? |

Last Month, Electronic Entertainment Design and Research did a little research (ie : they went to Metacritic.com and counted) to determine what quantity of Xbox 360 and PS3 titles were actually good.
The 360 and the PS3 were close to even, with a higher percentage of top rated games appearing on the PS3. With its market dominance, the Wii has to be home to a slew of incredible games, right?
Well, no. As any Wii owner will tell you, most of the games available belong firmly in the “shovelware” category. While 13% of 360 and 17% of PS3 games scored 85 or higher, only 4% managed the same feat on the Wii, mostly first-party titles.
A total of 54% scored less than 65%, meaning that over half of the Wii’s library is nigh unplayable, unless you’re 4 years old.
I think it’s time to bring back that Nintendo Seal of Quality, which in days of yore meant you were sure you were getting something that was at least worth playing.
