I'm pretty sure the Wii doesn't have any release in May... is there any game schedule for June?

None in April, none in May and none in June so far. Perhaps only in Q4 Wii may be getting games.

That's ... scary... and I must clarify, I don't mean first party release, I mean no release at all in May! Surely there is at least ONE game being release in April / June?? Not even a shovelware?

Well, looks like Wii has just received its only May release (26th of May). Pandora's Tower. That game won't make a difference, looks too small, in between Zangeki and Sin & Punishment in regards to sales I'd say.

There's actually 2 games releasing in April for the Wii:
Yu-gi-Oh! 5D's Duel Transers and Billy's Boot Camp: Enjoy Diet on Wii!. Both pretty much shovelware.

How about Golden Week 2011? Will Nintendo base its Wii marketing for it exclusively on bundles, special offers and editions of classics, evergreens, best sellers and other titles released before April?

Although, thinking  about it, most probably Sony too will do it for the largest part of its marketing effort, it's a nice opportunity to boost some of its biggest titles that sold very well elsewhere, but less than expected in Japan.
