Is Wii dead for 2012?

Wii U is releasing late next year, so what software will be releasing for Wii in the meantime? Nothing really, according to one Nintendo rep.

 

"Yes, there will be titles to fill the void for 2012, because we haven't really talked about anything for 2012. We talked about Wii U, we talked about Luigi's Mansion 2... beyond that, there's not a lot, but that doesn't mean those are the only two things to launch, obviously," the rep said.

 

"So... that's a pretty broad, vague question to ask. But, yes, Nintendo... we will always release things at a good pace to make sure there's things throughout the year. Look at how our holiday is going to work: yes, everyone wanted Mario Kart for Nintendo 3DS on launch day, but we wanted this to be a title that happens this many months after launch. Same with Super Mario and Star Fox; it's all paced out. So, there will be a good pace of titles in 2012. To be honest, I don't know what they are and we haven't made announcements about them, so there's not much I can say."

 

The rep wasn't sure if Nintendo would be supporting Wii while Wii U is on the market, though.

 

"We've committed to both consoles, the Wii and Wii U, coexisting together at the same time. We've had a lot of questions-- 'will games launch for both systems?', 'will you continue to make great games for Wii?', and we just don't know the answers to those questions; since we haven't made any announcements, there's not much we can say about it. I think we can be confident that both systems will be around for a bit still."

Wii U is coming but 2012 won't be the death of Wii. Sure, there will be fewer and fewer games until there is none. Then that will probably the death of Wii.

Yup, the president himself stated they still plan their normal lifespan for the Wii.

And that's it,that's pretty much all the games that are worth being played.

And some of them aren't even that good(oh and trust me,I have a WII,I've played them all)

That isn't even 50 games...
What are you supposed to do when you finish these games? stick the wiimote up your ass? play shitty sports and 3party?
Damn,I can name 200 games WORTH being on both...PS3 and xbox 360,200 MINIMUM.

Just shut up fanboy. :P

I SRLY don't get these stupid people that say WII has the better games,or the better exclusives,sure it has REALLY cool games,BUT,the list is TOO SMALL! such poor variety of games ...
