This is a list of cancelled Wii video games. After the lukewarm sales of their prior video game console, the GameCube, Nintendo decided to take a different approach with their next system, the Wii in 2006. Rather than enter into a technical hardware arms race with competitors Sony and Microsoft, they opted for weaker hardware that emphasized the use of motion control through an unconventional controller known as the Wii Remote. While Nintendo found success with this approach, with a massive increase in hardware sales over the GameCube, the strategy did lead to complications on the software side of the business. Many games would be cancelled due to developers not being able to translate multiplatform releases to the weaker and different hardware. Additionally, its popularity made it difficult for publishers to get games to stand out at retail, and Nintendo's restrictive size limits on its downloadable WiiWare games complicated releases as well. This list documents all known games that were confirmed for the Wii at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity.[1][2]
