If you look at Nintendo's software development, i think you can see that Wii is moving into the later stages of it's life. If you look at the development schedules that most of their teams are on, or at least are estimated to be on, it looks like they, internally, have enough software to bring them through 2011 easily, but not much further than that. If it's not 2011, it'll be early 2012. Late 2012 would be a bit of a stretch, and perpetuate a late-term 1st-party drought for the platform

 

A lot of speculation here, as we don't even know all the games comin' in 2010...

Nintendo is so secretive that there could be 10 games actually in production for Wii, just as well as 30... do you know what's happening with Intelligent Systems, Retro Studios, Hal Laboratory, Camelot, EAD Tokyo, Project Sora, and all the others?

If so, you're a really lucky man for such insider's informations, as most of us would really like to know...

 

HAL Labs is unknown, Camelot is probably working on Golden Sun 3 (DS) and they are no longer a Nintendo-owned studio anyway, EAD Tokyo is working on.... Galaxy 2. Project Sora will be one of those 2011 games that keeps the platform thriving late in its life (alongside Dragon Quesxt X, but that's besides the point). Retro Studios project will probably be out next year (they'll have had 3 whole years to work on it in that case. Prime Trilogy was something they did as a side project)

I haven't updated this in a while but it's basically a mix of what we know and my projections. In my projections for 2011, I'm assuming that we're going to see the launch of a new generation of Nintendo handheld. I think Nintendo will push the Wii with new heavy hitting software until 2012, then we'll see a large drought in the lead up to their next system as they produce games for that and also for their new handheld.

edit: I should point out that 2011 is so small because it's so far away, not because I think there'll be so few titles released.
