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

[Gunstar Hero]

I don't have 650 bucks to shell out for a Wii U when it comes out, but I do have a Wii and enjoy a few games on it. Does anyone know if new Wii games will still come out after Wii U comes out? Plus am I the only one who thinks Wii U is a ridiculous idea? I'm still waiting for an Ultra Nintendo. I mean we had Nintendo and Super Nintendo which notably did fantastic in the eras they were produced, so why instead of trying new gimmicks like tablet controllers, can't Nintendo just have a good SNES style controller with good 2D and 3D games? I know I'm ranting, but come on Nintendo!

Since when is the new nintendo system $650?

Original PlayStation games were still produced after the PS2 came out, so I would say that Wii games will be produced as long as the original Wii is popular.

The Nintendo 64 was originally called the Ultra 64. I'm also pretty sure it was once going to be called the Ultra Famicom. In a way, you got your Ultra Nintendo



The controller is like an upgraded SNES controller. It has the D-pad, ABXY buttons, and the L & R buttons in all the right places. In addition to that, it has a touch screen, joysticks, camera and motion controls. This will allow you to interact with your games even more than before.

Firstly, there isn't any evidence that the Wii U will be $650 when it releases. That's PS3 launch price and then some. Calm yourself.

Secondly, if you have the Wii and a "few games", then it doesn't matter if they continue to release games for it after the release of their new console because there are plenty of older games you can check out. Sin and Punishment, Rhythm Heaven, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Shiren the Wanderer, Xenoblade, Last Story, Baroque, Blastworks, Ultimate Shmup Collection, etc.

For what it's worth, the worthwhile releases for the Wii are already few and far between. Once the Wii U comes out, expect the Wii release list to die very quickly.

Are Wii games still being made now?
Aside from those localized RPGs that fans were begging for, I don't think you're going see to anything but licensed crapware from here on out.

I haven't seen anything saying the price will be $650. Also, Nintendo is thinking about changing the name. As far as future Wii releases, yes, there will be Wii games still being made YEARS after WiiU comes out, but they will mostly be shovelware releases. As someone already mentioned, if you enjoy Wii games, it's better to look into the past 1,000 releases rather than future 100 releases.

There is two big releases this year for US gamers. April 6th Xenoblade Chronicles. June 19th The Last Story.

For UK gamers April has Pandora's Tower.
