Its nothing new, Nintendo was always known to abandon support on a system when the successor comes out. Expect Wii games to go fully digital on the Wii-U eventually.

This is true, but they definited started putting out less quality stuff earlier in this system's lifetime than the NES or SNES.  I thought that they did this with the N64 and GC since they didn't sell the way that Nintendo intended.  Maybe it's just the way that they do things now.  

I just find it odd since the Wii was a sales beast when they turned their backs on it. 

Yep completely agree with you, compared to the SNES and N64, the Wii had less number of stellar titles. But what the wii lacked in software, its hype and gimmick saved it since it attracted a huge number of people who usually didnt play video games.

...and it's even weirder to me that Nintendo looks as though they want to turn their backs on this group that they attracted.  They're acting as though the Wii was a failure and that they desperately have to change their strategy.
