The first Galaxy didn't really give Wii a boost. I think part of the reason Wii declined in Japan while it took off in America was that Galaxy didn't hit as hard. And Galaxy 2 is a 2010 title anyways.
Not sure why I forgot Wii Fit Plus...
I actually think Monster Hunter and NSMB are the more important games, because there aren't any similar experiences on Wii yet. So theoretically they would have a higher base of new customers to sell to. Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus re-enforce the most popular experiences already on the console, and can satisfy more demanding customers, but don't necesarily open up a big new market segment not already interested in Wii.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
