I'll concede the point with games specifically rated M. Although that's a strange line to draw

The GC and N64 saw decent 3rd part support, although the vast majority of it wasn't rated M.
Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, F-Zero GX (Sega developed), Super Monkey Ball, Prince of Persia, Soul Calibur 2, Viewtiful joe, Rogue Sqaudron, Resident Evil 1 remake, Timesplitters 2, Beyond Good and Evil, Ikaruga, MGS: Twin Snakes.
Those are all fantastic 3rd party GC titles I named off the top of my head.
The Wii has a similar list of good 3rd party titles, they just tend to be niche and with lower budgets than your typical AAA, so they're easy to overlook - especially if you put ridiculous artificial constraints on your tastes, like requiring them to be rated M.
My point here is not to defend Nintendo blindly - it's been a pretty clear trend that Nintendo hardware is for Nintendo games, first and foremost, since the N64 - but to summarily discount even the possibility of good 3rd party games is the height of willful ignorance.

Funny thing is, the Wii can read DVDs. All it would take is a firmware update. *NM*

Yeah. I had tinkered around with some Homebrew to get it working.
