So Who Thinks There's No More Games For The Wii?

If we follow that format, we usually see 1 Mario game, 1 (or 2) Zelda games, 1 Super Smash Bros game, 1 Mario Kart game, 1 Animal Crossing, one of each of the Mario sports games, etc, etc.

Then we got Metroid Prime for the Gamecube, but the Prime series is over.

So, that said, we've already seen Mario, Zelda, (soon to be) Smash, (soon to be) Kart, Stikers, and so on, within the first year and a half.

That leaves...3 and a half years of...who knows?

Star Fox, F-Zero, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Kirby, maybe Kid Icarus, lots of Mario spinoffs, another Fire Emblem maybe, Wii Music, Wii "fill-in-the-blank", Donkey Kong, and probably one or two new IPs, one of them maybe for the mature crowd.

Nintendo isn't stopping anytime soon... it's partially the Brawl effect and the fact that there's only a few noteworthy games Nintendo fans are looking forward to in '08.

Then again, the year is still young, E3 will let some cats out of the bag, and there's a growing 3rd party presence. The Wii is in good shape until the next system arrives.

Hey I'm fully aware of what Nintendo still has in its bag of tricks. When you take that part of my post out of context it sounds like it's me who thinks this. I was just saying that there are people who think this.

Ok, there seems to be a slew (that means a large number) of topics that pretty much ask if Nintendo is going to close up shop and stop releasing games (after Kart). People are wondering if they should keep their Wii or I don't know, maybe send an Email out there encouraging them to make at least one more game before they stop?

I of course think there will continue to be games made for the Wii and it's actually frightening that users that are at least well versed in the industry to come here don't all share the same opinion.

So I decided to make a poll, I sincerely hope this is as lopsided as I think it'll be.

For the people who think there wont be any more games please, by all means, explain why you think that is going to happen.

For those of you who think that there will still be games made you don't need to respond since you'd only need to put "Duh, of course" (but feel free because it's always nice to have a discussion)

I think its stupid for people to think that Nintendo is gonna lose up shop when they're making a gajillion dollars off this thing!

Check out the news area on Gamespot, they reported both of them.

Sorry to be a bother, but could you give us a link? I'm not doubting your word or the articles' existence, but 20 minutes and and 10 tag searches later I'm still unable to find it.
