Why has Japanese 3rd party support almost completely ceased for the Wii?

It may have been a very long time since a Japanese dev made a significant announcement for wii BUT it definetely hasn't been a long time since your last thread discussing this SAME issue.

I think I have been discussing it at the end oflast year but I waited a bit because some people told me we were too early into the year to call it a trend. And we haven't heard of any projects so far. It's a bit worrying seriously. 3DS is around the corner and I don't know if that's good for the Wii or any other current gen console for the matter.

Every week I'm waiting for at least a little announcemnt in the Famitsu magazine and Wii is never getting anything. The announcements head to every other platform but the Wii. Even Nintendo will be publishing 3rd party games in the West.

1. Wii got The Last Story AND Xenoblade announced actually....so your wrong.

2. After the DS launched, Wii & PS3 came 2 years after that.....so if the 3DS launches around 2011 (not counting delays), then we should expect PS4/Wii2/Xbox 720 around 2013 - 2014 which is possible.

3. Its been clear for 1 year now that the wii wasn't ever going to get support like a "winning" console would get....so whats the big deal?
