Wii died off because the major 3rd parties never put a similar level of investment or effort that they did for the Xbox 360 (and later PS3). Had they did, at worst Wii's library would have been similar to the PS2 in terms of a lot of games but a steady supply of quality ones to offset the amount of shovelware. 3rd parties jumped late to the Wii and then left just as quickly in terms of quality support.

Right now seems Nintendo's current strategy with the Switch is focusing on Nintendo + Indies combo and have some big third party games cover gaps. Until their historical issues with 3rd parties end, they pretty much need to rely on indies to to prevent major droughts from happening again. Steam being terrible in recent years and Sony dropping the ball with indies support ended up making this possible for Nintendo.
