Is The Wii Dead?

E3 has passed us by for another year, but for the first time since 2005, Wii was missing from the show. Despite it being Nintendo's current lead home console, Wii has vanished from Nintendo's plans for the future, and if you didn't know better, you would not know the system even existed based on E3 this year. So with that in mind, can we now declare the Wii dead? Or is there life left in the console that ushered in a revolution in gaming back in 2006?

I was actually surprised to find the lack of any wii media or information, given that nintendo still have yet to reveal a launch date for the wii u. I know the wii is selling poorly right now, but it'd still be great to have seen some coverage on the console as the user base is quite large.

This is the problem w/ going casual. When the show is over, the show is over. I own a Wii because I enjoy gaming overall...but a huge ammount of people who bought it, bought it because it was the "thing" to have and Nintendo decided to cater to them. Integrity is something that should never be underminded. I has slowly destroyed the music industry, the movie industry and it is moving on to the gaming industry. It always starts w/ the same tagline "well they're making money", then people follow suit until its only about making money and dismantles the original artform in the process. Watch for the deals you make w/ the Devil...they don't always turn out like expected.

not selling poorly, the market is just saturated now. It's still outselling new hardware weekly (PSV), so i think it's doing good given its life and how many it already sold

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi69d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer70d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot70d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno70d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay70d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno68d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK69d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
