As you can see according to the chart the average ranking score for Wii games was well behind the average for the other two systems. This year though, things look a little different. While the average for the Xbox 360 and PS3 scores remained relatively the same, the Wii has seen a huge jump in the difference of its score compared to last year. There could be any number of things that could contribute to this. Are games really better this year than they were last year? I think that's probably the case, but I also think it's just as likely that after nearly three years on the market that developers finally understand what needs to be done to make Wii games successful. Gone are the huge numbers of party games, and games based on your family pet. In are more games that take advantage of the hardware and push it with a beautiful art style over ultra realistic graphics such as The Munchables, Little King's Story or Ghostbusters. Games with interesting game play mechanics such as NyxQuest, Boom Blox: Bash Party or Excite Bots. It could simply be a revisit to classics like Klonoa or Punch-Out!!.
Whatever it is though, games are getting better on Wii and they're just as good, according to Meta Critic as games on the Xbox 360 or PS3. Personally, I think they've been that way for some time, but that's just my opinion.
