I guess it depends on the definition of "big" but here is the 1st party lineup of Wii in its first 12 months

November 2006-Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, Excite Truck

January 2007-WarioWare

February 2007-Wii Play

April 2007-Super Paper Mario

May 2007-Mario Party 8

June 2007-Big Brain Academy, Pokemon Battle Revolution

July 2007-Mario Strikers Charged

August 2007-Metroid Prime 3

October 2007-Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Battalion Wars 2

November 2007-Fire Emblem, Super Mario Galaxy, Link's Crossbow Training

It also had some 3rd party titles (exclusive & mulitplat ) like Red Steel, Super Monkey Ball, Trauma Center, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Sonic Secret Rings, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Resident Evil 4, Guitar Hero, SSX, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Dragonball Z Budokai, Medal of Honor Heroes, Call of Duty, Need for Speed, Tony Hawk, Godfather, Manhunt, Nights 2, Dragon Quest Swords, Sims, Madden, FIFA, Lego Star Wars and a whole bunch of other licensed games for kids and casual minigames.

People go on about how Wii only sold because of a gimmick but it had a pretty stellar lineup in its first year.

Not just its first year either; in 2010 alone it got Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Monster Hunter Tri, Goldeneye 007, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Sin & Punishment 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, Sonic Colours, Black Ops, Epic Mickey, Sonic All Stars Racing...

Wii U never had a year that good.

Wii had great output, but let's be realistic, Wii is basically overclocked GC, only thing they needed to adjust is new control scheme, after GC they basically just continue to make games on Wii on same way just with new controls.
