Isn't Retro "3rd Party"? or am I missing something obvious.  If so, could somebody please point out what makes a title 3rd party...
Since Retro is likely "1st Party" my guess for the no.1 spot would be Red Steal 2.  Not my particular fave in the list even though a very good game, NMH2 or Little Kings Story would be my joint faves.

Retro Studios is 100% owned by Nintendo, so they are first party.

Third party means they are not owned by the console manufacturer. However, a first party game could be made by a third party developer (i.e. Excite Trucks is a first party game but was made by Monster Games. Essentially any game not listed here can be considered third party: http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_games#Wii

Thanks genuinlly for the heads up.

Ah Zack and Wiki. I don't think Capcom made a lot of money from this which is such a shame because its such a great game. It was like Capcom's very own Professor Layton.


its a shame where wasn't enough people to appreciate it on the Wii.

It's funny, my favorite part of owning the Wii and its collection of gems has been the exclusivity.  Playing games such as No More Heroes, A Boy and His Blob, Xenoblade and Little Kings Story - just to name a few - has been amazing, innovative and more importantly, fun!  Yes I own a PS3 on the side, but honestly, most retail games have felt - while engrossing - trite, mindless and a chore.  The Wii has been my saving grace this gen!
