Nintendo Won't Abandon the Wii

[FantomOmega]

I've never abandoned a consol that hasn't already abandoned me.

Except the Wii has abandoned its audience well since maybe beginning of 2011?

After months of hearing Nintendo keep talking about the Wii U this is probably the FIRST time I've heard them saying anything about the Wii...

I thought they forgot the Wii even exist...

Let's just beat down the doors while racing to get all of those wonderful, amazing titles that just can't be missed as Nintendo races to try and keep the system relevant when even their in-house development teams have abandoned it.

EDIT: Regardless of all that previous nonsense, it would be ridiculous for them to stop selling Wiis. Think how stupid it would've been if Sony had just pulled every single PS2 on the market when the PS3 hit stores, that would've just been a monumentally terrible business decision.

The majority of the casual market have stopped buying Wii games which leaves Nintendo's core gamers to pickup the slack but the moment that the in-house titles stopped being made for Wii it's officially dead

Nintendo have invested a LOT on the Wii U succeeding and will in no way put ANY effort in the Wii that might undermined the Wii U like releasing a Mario game on the Wii instead of the Wii U this Christmas for example

Except Skyward Sword came out late 2011?

It took them the entire generation to make it and it was the least accessible (and worst) 3D Zelda game ever made. The only reason Nintendo was seen to be still supporting the Wii late last year is because they took so long to make the one and only Zelda game on the Wii. Twilight Princess was a port.

Generally, taking 5 years to release a game is seen as a bad thing. Especially an SD game.

Not buying a wii U because I stoped buying games for my wii years ago.

I enjoyed the launch titles...then nothing comes to mind but 2d mario (which i skipped)

Wii basically had a couple zeldas, smash-bros and thats really it
