   The September 2011 All but Declares the Wii Dead! The Title of the Article, "Taking The Wii For One Last Spin." It goes on to state that Nintendo's focus will now be on the Wii U, and that Nintendo FAILED at getting 3rd Parties on board for the Wii. They then look forward to the last few remaining games coming out this year before, "The Wii rides off into the Sunset."

   To be honest the games they recommend, are very poor games to buy, with a few exceptions.

   The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Will Buy Day One.
   Kirby Wii: Pass
   Rayman Origins: ????? Don't know
   Just Dance 3: Pass
   Rhythm Heaven: Pass, will appeal to those who liked the DS title
   Disney Universe: WTF?? Pass
   Mario Party 9: HUGE PASS
   Fortune Street: Maybe???
   Mario and Sonic London 2012 Games: WTF??? Pass

   Then the Article goes on to mention 3 games that Europe will get, that are 3 games that should be released here:
   1. Xenoblade
   2. The Last Story..Which now looks like it is coming Stateside
   2. Pandora's Tower

   What is Nintendo thinking not bringing these 3 games to the US Shores??

   How about we give up Disney Universe, Mario and Sonic, and Just Dance 3 for Xenoblade, Last Story and Pandora's Tower?? We USA citizens will gladly give you those 3 first games back for the last 3 games mentioned!

   They hardly 'failed' to get 3rd party software... Everyone crawled out of the woodwork to support the machine! I remember the Gamecube was ignored largely missing all the 'big boy' franchises yet, the Wii was very different it had cut down versions of many key franchises and yes most of the time they didn't work on it's low processor but they were represented either way.

   It's well documented that Nintendo supports it's systems, at least in Japan for a longtime after their 'sell through' date.

   I think as far as the 3 RPG games that aren't getting localized it's possibly because of this ignorance from sites like Game Informer that prevent the titles from being released, in the UK the Wii still sells very well and with the right software there's a very lucrative market here, we still didn't get some games that were released in North America but like all formats this stuff happens all the time.

   Bottom line is, the games are being translated to English, that's half the battle won - it's not exactly hard to make the Wii run multi region software so 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing :)

   That opinion did also appear on 2006,2007,2008,2009, 2010, that the wii will flop and be done, and still till this day the wii is here and doing decent numbers again, i give you that those three games, which iam hoping like a madman too for the U.S realease, should be done by nintendo to round up the 2011 lineup, but for me is not that big issue, especially considering that 2010 was the best year on the software front for the wii, is obvious that 2011 would take a hit, but i do wish those games come stateside, though
