The 3DS lineup is incredible.  Absolutely.  I haven't seen this much third-party support on a Nintendo console in a long time.

Which leads me to wonder if the same will be true for Nintendo's next home console system.  If they could make a system that could appeal to both sides, then why not for Wii's successor?

Apparently some guys on NeoGAF are overly cynical that they won't have a good 3rd party buildup for Wii2.

wii3d... write that down hehehe or 3dwii or triiwii or wiitrii ..... hd plus vitality plus 3d (nintendo style) plus launch titles (remakes) plus secret tech? =win...plus big third party support (i hope so) = WIN

AGREE with that statement completely.

Don't want Wii3D though.  Don't care for 3D unless Nintendo makes the TV LCD too.  Then it's a go for Wii3D.  But aside from all that stuff, I'm happy having a more powerful wii.  I'm happy with the current wii but if a more powerful one will get publishers to put titles on ALL consoles, then I'm all for it.  I want to play games that are 360/PS3 only and it's frustrating to have these developers ignore a cheaper development platform.  Shooters are great on Wii and with Move being official now, I would hope to see the same FPS titles on PS3 AND Wii from here on out.  But it's only wishful thinking.

I don't want Wii2 to be 3D until glasses free TV are mainstream.

Wearing 3D glasses is a no-no for me.

It'll all depend on where Nintendo goes with Wii2 I suppose.   I agree, it'll likely get a lot more initial support than Wii did but if it's still too far removed from where 3rd parties are focused, they'll continue to concentrate on MS/Sony.

With 3DS it's an easier sell to 3rd parties because DS was such a monster and not only a hit with casual, but with many core titles on it from millions of JRPGs to GTA:CW to various shooters and action games.   Plus, no one makes money making games for the PSP due to piracy so I can imagined they were all too happy to jump on the 3DS bandwagon.

It's also graphically on the same level as PSP/ipad/phone/pod (better really) making it possible for 3rd parties to make the same game for multiple systems.
