When you look at the Wii, Gamecube, N64 etc, by the first couple years, a most of the bigger games released, and we knew about many of the ones that didn't.

Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros, Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Twilight Princess all released within the first 2 years the Wii released, and we knew about XenoBlade in 2007, 2 years after release

Metroid Prime, Pikmin, Smash Bros, SM Sunshine, Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness and others all released within 2 years, and we knew about other games.

Sure there were surprises, we didn't know about Skyward Sword & Galaxy 2 for Wii (sequels), nor did we know about Baten Kaitos and Resident Evil 4 when Gamecube first released, but....it's not like the Gamecube and Wii suddenly got a ton of exclusives mid-life and beyond. Wii actually got kinda abandoned the last couple years with very few games (good ones though) releasing post 2009.

I don't know whjy people claim this; 2010 was Wii's best year for games; Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, (which btw wasn't revealed until E3 2010) Kirby's Epic Yarn, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Monster Hunter Tri and Sin & Punishment in the West, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, Sonic Colours, Goldeneye 007...

I meant Nintendo kinda abandoned the Wii, but you're right it's more like 2011+ it got abandoned. 2011+ it was just Project Rainfall, Skyward Sword, and Mario Party 9. Pikmin 3 was suppose to be a Wii title, but got ported to WiiU last minute.

Yeah, 2011-2012 was the dry spell. Thank God for games like Skyward Sword, Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Project Zero 2 Wii Edition, or it would have been unbearable.
