Nintendo Stops Developing Wii Games

Nintendo has confirmed that no new projects for the original Wii console are in development.

With the new system, Wii U, on stores shelves in North America and due imminently in Europe, Australia and Japan, Nintendo of America's director of product marketing Bill Trinen confirmed the situation.

Third parties and smaller studios are still due to release games for the system, but for now there won't be any first party efforts from Nintendo, with the Japanese game maker's focus solely on Nintendo Wii U and 3DS projects.

The last Nintendo game to grace the Wii was Kirby's Dream Collection, a 20 year anthology of past Kirby titles.
