First off, I'm not saying they should get everything, as obviously not every game will sell the best on Wii, and sometimes games are made for more than the purely financial reasons.
But, you are also leaving out a lot of big games (or just out right really good games) that could (note, not should) have been released on Wii. Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Pro Evolution Soccer (late releases killed the Wii version). Not that I'm saying they should have been moved over to Wii, but Resident Evil obviously had good potential to sell on Wii (as proven by 4) to bad Capcom isn't smart enough to make the Title screen work on the Wii.

I don't Nintendo is such a great company to deal with when it comes to third party. Sony and MS probably help around to make these games, And these games are far from being "blockbuster" in Japan.
Fact is the Wii already got the most " blockbusters" in Japan anyway, they took MH3 already, they got the biggest franchise in that country, they just lost out on one, but you'd think otherwise listening to people around here.
Fact: If Nintendo wanted certain 3rd party, they could, MS did, they just choose to rely on their own franchises which sell more anyway. Look at this year, it was a huge letdown to me for the Wii 3rd party wise in Japan.

Nintendo just doesn't play ball like Microsoft and Sony does. Nintendo has helps devs by sending programming support over to help them understand the system and they provide some advertising support, however, they don't spend millions on buying exclusives, or timed exclusives. So yes, Nintendo could buy up exclusives, but you are right, their 1st party software is enough to support them, and they know it.
As for big games in Japan, Nintendo got 0 big games from 3rd parties for the GC. Considering the flip in positions, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect the Wii to get all the big games. Heck, the PS3 was on par with the GC up until this year, which again makes you question why Japanese 3rd parties didn't abandon them faster.
