It's November 21st 2016. The NX is out and more powerful than the PS4. Are 3rd parties on board?

What were third parties supposed to do? Not support the PS3 and 360 and hope gamers would be satisfied with SD graphics forever? They were going to have to switch to higher end HD gamers sooner or later. Even Nintendo themselves also had issues trying to sell "epic" traditional style games on the Wii like Metroid Prime 3 had unimpressive sales relative to its userbase, things like Sin & Punishment and Xenoblade were not big sellers either. 

They should have built an audience on both platforms. They should have released their core franchises on the Wii. Not direct ports but their own versions. Yes, that would have meant less recources and less games on the HD twins, but considering how many companies ruined themselves, that would not be a negative. If there was a niche missing in the Wii library, they should have filled it with a solid game.

I can name you lots of core games that did fantastic on Wii. RE4 did awesome. Mario galaxy did awesome. De Blob did well. House of the dead and house of the dead overkill did well. These games were profitable. Usually if a game had effort put into it, it did well on Wii. Well enough to warrant making.

Imagine what GTA ports from ps2 would have sold on wii. Same for final fantasy VII to X-2.
