Rol has already said basically what he should. Just want to say that it is important to note Nintendo in 2010 and 2011 that almost abandoned the Wii, the video game was dependent on Metroid Other M and Skyward Sword, which are not even a good version of their respective franchises. At the end of the revolution that was the generation, Nintendo stopped releasing games to stationary console to focus on 3DS and this also contributed to the later period. The couch arcades games that were at the heart of the Wii system were abandoned by games more like Gamecube games, like Other M and Skyward Sword, so the console had low sales as had the Gamecube.

They released Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story worldwide in 2010-2011, and they were relatively huge games and XC is critically speaking the best in the series. Pandora Tower which admittedly was a lower budgeted game than the other 2 was still a very enjoyable game in its own right released. They also had Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and No More Heroes 2.

2010 and 2011 easily beat out 2008 and 2009 as far as quality games (well depends on how mush you like Smash Brawl and Mario Kart Wii) at least in number of games released, it was an uptick.

 

Last I'd also like to mention Skyward Sword and Other M were solid games in their own right. Arguably not the best in their series which is a matter of opinion, but far from bad games. I mean correct me if I'm wrong but weren't their more main dungeons in Skyward Sword than in BOTW? 

 

Xenoblade is not a system seller. The Last Story is also not a system seller. The two were released after a long time, in a limited way. The Zelda and Wii Metroid are the games of their respective franchises that have less appeal to the public, despite the large installed base, did not sell well. The good pace that started in 2010 came from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Donkey Kong, Wii Fit and the Mario Bros. Collection. All couch arcade games, the strogest pillar of the Wii.
