If history is any indicator, hell no. It wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo started pushing announced Wii games to the Wii U. Their track record isn't too great. Even with the huge installed base, Nintendo has been quick to drop support of their past systems as soon as the next console hits the market.

History shows that Nintendo continued to put out games for one or two years for their widely successful systems (NES, GB/C, GBA and most likely DS; SNES to a lesser extent) once the respective successor had launched. Nintendo has only been quick to drop support for their not so successful systems (N64, GC), but in regards to that they aren't any different than any other company as Atari, Sega and Microsoft have also shown.

The Wii will be the first instance of a successful system not receiving continued support, so this yet another thing the Wii can claim to be the first one to do.


I'm having a hard time thinking of examples of Nintendo made game that get released when their next gen console/portable is released.  A little help, here?  I know they tend to release their consoles after everyone else but when they do, it seems like it's game over for the prior console.
