Hmm, I think you are putting a lot of faith in 3rd party devs. I don't think we will get any announcements soon from any third party dev in Japan. If there will be any announcemnts as in "big" ones, it will definitely be at this year's TGS or E3, don't count on third parties having anything in store for the Wii soon.

Wii is in for the roughest year yet when it comes to 3rd party support in Japan, but it won't matter because their 1st party efforts will be more than enough to offset them. That is from Q2 onwards.

Well, some of it's inevitable.  DQ remakes/spinoffs always pave the way for the mainline... though DQX is still probably a good 2 years off so we admittedly might not get any this year.

MH3G is an easy guess too, there's even unused code in regular MH3 that suggests it.  Everything else gets a little more speculative, but for some there's at least been heavy hints (from Level-5 especially).

 

I agree in general though... Nintendo's carried Wii to this point, and they'll be the ones to carry it to the end.  It's a little disappinting, but at least Nintendo's actually pulled it off for the most part.  The overwhelming 3rd party pushes for 360 and PS3 haven't exactly paid off quite so well...
