Rhythm Heaven is supposedly coming for Wii in 2011 and there is another Kirby Wii in development according to one of the Iwata Ask features. De Blob 2 is in February too isn't it?

I actually expect Dragon Quest X to be the Dec 2011 game in Japan. DQIX for DS was announced in 2007 and released in 2009. DQX for Wii was announced in 2009 and so I figure its coming late this year.

Nintendo doesn't really need much for Q1 2011 on Wii though. 3DS will have a huge initial shipment of games and systems.

Wii will have ten-twenty titles from 2010 and earlier still dong well in Q1 2011 in the West:

DKC Returns, Epic Mickey, Just Dance 2, Michael Jackson, Galaxy 2, NSMB Wii, Udraw, Wii Party, Wii Fit Plus, Goldeneye, Sonic Colors, MK Wii, JD1, Zoomba Fitness, etc.

Japan is ok too:

DKC, Kirby, Mario Sports Mix, NSMB WIi, MKWii, Galaxy 2, Taiko will do ok in Q1 2011.

I think we actually see some ports from Wii to 3DS and back again in 2011-2012 too.

Bolded 1: Rhythm Heaven Wii is coming out next year in Japan, never confirmed for the West and it actually won't set the charts on fire, just like what happened with Rhythm Heaven Gold for the DS in the USA, which as well came out more than a year after it hit Japan.
The other Kirby game HAL has been developing is the DS game that comes out next year, there's no other Kirby Wii in development.

Bolded 2: DQX was announced on December 2008, but there hasn't been two consecutive main entries in the DQ series since the 80's that took less than 4 years in between, so as a good case scenario Japan will be seeing DQX in 2012 and the West luckily in 2013.

Wii needs a lot of new games and it's getting few to none next year. I think that was the main problem this year and last year's as well, the long game drought without system sellers. Nintendo just dropped support through the year and simply focuses on the Holidays which will hurt sales throughout the year A LOT. As for third parties, they've almost completely dropped support so I can't see any third party game helping the Wii from now on.
