Reggie has told Engadget that Nintendo intends on selling Wii consoles for quite some time, especially in Latin America and Eastern European regions. The Wii has managed to sell about 40 million units in the US alone.
"As we sit here today, in the US the Wii has sold about 40 million units. We believe that there continues to be an opportunity with Wii. Yes, these are late, late adopters. And yes, price points are important. But we do believe there's still opportunity for the Wii, and we will continue to sell Wii side-by-side for some period of time. I'm responsible for Canada and Latin America as well. We think there's opportunity in both of those markets, especially Latin America. You can reach price points, you can reach consumers that candidly we won't be able to reach with the Wii U. That's gonna continue to be an opportunity. Lastly, on the global base, certainly there are markets in Eastern Europe. There are a number of other markets where if Wii has an attractive price point, it'll do well. So, we will continue to be in the Wii business for quite some time."

@Rukiafan I truly hope the deal pans out so my American friends can finally enjoy those games.

It looks like North America might not be done receiving great Wii games just yet.
