Quote:Nintendo has discontinued production of Wii hardware. The news was spotted by Cheesemeister3k last night on the company's Japanese website.It seems that after 7 years of life Wii production has officially stopped. There are so many games personally that i loved in this console and plenty of font memories...
The Wii home console was released on November 19, 2006 and introduced
motion control as a primary method of control. The console featured
full backward compatibility with the GameCube software library until the
feature was removed in by a product refresh called “Wii Family Edition”
in late 2011.
As of June 2013, the Wii sold 100.04 million units worldwide at retail. The successor to this console, Wii U, features full backwards compatibility with Wii's software library.
