Will Wii games still be produced after the Wii U is released?

[thegamezmaster]

I sure hope so. Think of all the Wii's they've sold. I would think people who have them would want some. But history seems to say otherwise. Hopefully there will still be some good games to come out.

There probably will be, but it'll all be shovelware titles. Nintendo and 3rd-party developers will likely put most of their effort into Wii U, while crap developers like Game Mill will still be dishing out dozens of $20 garbage. It happened with the GBA, with many of its later titles being Scrabble/Yahtzee! compilations and cheap retro arcade 4-in-1's, with other companies focusing on the DS. It's a shame how Wii was barely used to its full potential.

It's a Gamecube with waggle. How much potential could it really have?

0.5/10 for non-original trolling.

Trolling would involve some sort of disingenuous hyperbole.
I'm dead serious. The thing was a box of gimmicks from day one.
Proper sequels to Mario Golf, F-Zero, Pikmin, or Luigi's mansion would have been great, but I'd just as soon have them on GC.

I seriously thought that they would make a Pilot Wings for the Wii, since it was announced that the franchise was skipping the GC in favor of another platform. It turns out that after all of those years of waiting, that the other platform was the 3DS?

Companies deciding whether or not to develop Wii games are not going to consider someone's opinion of the Wii, they are going to look at how many Wiis are out there. Gamecube sold 22 million, but Wii sold 68 million, so obviously there's money to be made by shoveling titles onto the Wii.

I guess that's why there are so many GBA and PS2 games coming out these days.

A PS2 game came out a couple of weeks ago, five years after the PS3 came out. The last GBA game came out in 2008, three years after the DS came out. This further supports the notion that the Wii will have games for years to come.

Judging by the release dates on IGN, it's looking pretty abysmal.

I don't know, there wasn't really much in the way of late releases for the Gamecube other than the Zelda game and frankly, the Wii was 100% backward compatible at release, so I can't see much coming out after the WiiU comes out. Frankly, other than sports games and some stuff that was converted from the PSP, I don't know why people seem to think that the PS2 has been "supported". It's not like Sony or anyone else put major development resources into it after the PS3 released.

I don't think Wii U will cost more than $299.99 and yes Wii games will continue to be made/sold after the Wii U is released. No developer is going to ignore a ~100m Wii userbase.

Wii sold 68 million

Actually, 95 million as of January 2012.

Obvious troll is obvious.



As to the OP besides The Last Story,Xenoblade & Pandoras Tower this year a TBA is for Dragon Quest X for both Wii & Wii-U also TBA is Rhodea Sky Soldier from Prope for Wii & 3DS.

If you're including games with no signs of having a North American release like Pandoras Tower, the recently reconfirmed Fatal Frame 2 remake for Japan and Europe is worth a mention.

It very well might be the last Wii release of any interest to me.
