As opposed to traditionally leaking information about future releases well in advance, Nintendo are deliberately holding back. Iwata suggests that given the increased pace at which information is digested these days, consumers become bored with products by the time they are released.

Nintendo plan on unveiling their line up at E3. Certain games have been hinted at already, such as Animal Crossing, Wii Music and Kid Icarus.
I don't know if those games can be consider killer apps. Animal Crossing will be difficult to predict sales wise, as the difference between AC on the Gamecube and DS is humongous. Wii Music will be interesting, although I don't think it will be a huge phenomenon, especially if Wii Fit is still popular. As for Kid Icarus, well, I think you have the rest from there.

 


I disagree with your suggestion that Wii Fit will undermine sales of Wii Music. Are you implying that casual gamers won't buy many games? On the contrary, I think Wii Music has the potential to be a huge hit much like the other games in the Wii Series. The concept itself has been in development since before the console was released. The DS demonstrates that casual games can coexist and still sell like gangbusters.
