Nintendo not given up on the Wii

The confirmation of the Wii 2 ('Project Cafe') by Nintendo to be shown at this years E3 and the drought of any first party Wii titles for the first quarter of 2011 has made some Wii owners quite unhappy with the feeling that the system is abandoned. Satoru Iwata claimed otherwise at a Japanese investor meeting, with apparently a bunch of titles coming out for the Wii later this year.

"We have not released any new Nintendo software titles for Wii, except for The Last Story (Japanese Title) in January, partly because we have focused on the launch of Nintendo 3DS since the beginning of this year. Therefore, some in Japan seem to have the misunderstanding that Nintendo has given up making efforts on Wii. We are actually ready to release new Wii software titles every month from May to the end of this year."
