I just realized out of the 13 Wii games I own, only 5 are non-Nintendo (ie first party) games, and out of these five, two are PS2-Ports.
Kind of a shame.
Whats your First/Third party ratio?

Platform »
The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.
How many Third Party games do you actually have?
Wii: First Party: 10
Wii: Third Party: 5
PS3: First Party: 5
PS3: Third Party: 6 (still mostly PS3 exclusives: Valkyria, Metal Gear...)
Most hardcore Wii owners bought it to play first party games, so there's my excuse for owning so many.
Zero. I was actually discussing this with a friend the other day, and it seems like Capcom might be the only third-party company producing games on the Wii that are actually worth owning. They've released games like No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki, Okami (Wii port), and RE4 (Wii port).

But seriously, aside from Wii Fit, Sony hasn't had too many great Wii games.
Okay, my mistake on No More Heroes. Though, it is made by the guy that made Killer 7 which was by Capcom, I believe.
5 out of 6 are third party, not counting Wii Sports (which would make it 5 out of 7). I have:
SSBB (Nintendo)
Boom Blox
No More Heroes
Okami
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Zack & Wiki
That's skewed, however, because I still haven't picked up Metroid Prime 3 or Twilight Princess - I put them off and went for cheaper third-party games in hopes they'd be cheaper when I do get around to them.
Nintendo:
I've had many, let's see.
Third Party:
Madden 07
Super Swing Golf
Super Swing Golf 2
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09
The GodFather: Blackhand Edition
The Bully: Scholarship Edition
No More Heroes
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Medal of Honor Heroes 2
MLB Power Pros
First Party:
The Legend of Zelda: The Twighlight Princess
Paper Mario
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Mario Kart Wii
Looks like 12/5 in favor of third party. I like ports, especially if they're done well.
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Zack and Wiki
Sonic Unleashed
Okami
Guitar Hero 3
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Battalion Wars 2
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Total 3rd Party: 7
Total 1st Party: 6
I also have several Wiiware/VC games, but I'm not going to go and sort all of those into third and first party...
Interesting question. 8 of 12 of our Wii games are 3rd party.
DDR
GH3
Metal Slug Anthology
Samba de Amigo
Boom Blox
No More Heroes
Geometry Wars Galaxies
Mercury Meltdown Revolution
We have previously owned more 1st party games (Zelda, mario Galaxy, Paper Mario) but have sold them back to the evil empire.
Out of my 15 Wii games,
First party (6) stuff is made up of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart Wii, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Wii Play (it came with the Wii remote I bought).
Third party (9) games are de Blob, Endless Ocean, Madden 07, No More Heroes, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Red Steel, Resident Evil 4, Scarface: The World is Yours, & Sonic and the Secret Rings.
I've also got some WiiWare stuff if you want to include that. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, Gyrostarr, LostWinds, & Mega Man 9
