Apart from a few miss-steps this generation you cannot fault the first party games for the Nintendo.
All the really awful 'games' have been third party games trying to get a cut of the casual market, and every console has bad games and if you judge a console by those games then no company is gonna come up smelling of roses. If you were to gather all the best games so far from the wii and compared them to the best games from other consoles it would hold up well. It's the third party developers looking for a quick flash in the pond that's the problem with the Wii.

Yeah but Nintendo allows this. All with the quality seal B.S.
As for top quality Xbox & PS3 games that don't involve major franchise characters?
Mass Effect, Bioshock, Infamous, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Just Cause, LittleBigPlanet, Assasins Creed, Borderlands, Left 4 Dead, Dragon Age, Saints Row and Gears Of War are all brand new gaming franchises that have started
this generation.
Can the Wii even come close to that? What reputable new gaming franchises has it established for the gamer this generation? Very few. It's simply a dumping ground for the same old characters and third parties who are making a quick buck off generic casual games.
Developers are not that interested in developing serious games for the Wii. And why would they be? If I had a game idea I would take it to the Xbox or PS3 where I had the hardware to express it and the owners to buy it. All this because while Nintendo were trying to get my nan to play games, they forgot about the
gamers.
The Wii sells because of it's casual appeal. But Nintendo really need to rely on more than the same old characters to sell the games. If they didn't, the GameCube wouldn't have bombed.
