Lets sort this out shall we.

EAD Group 1 -

Current Project: Unknown
EAD Group 2 -
Previous Games: Animal Crossing, AC: Wild World, AC: City Folk, Wii Sports/Music/Fit/Chess/Play
Current Project: Wii Fit Plus, probably another Wii series game if they continue with a yearly release of Wii series and/or groundwork for next gen AC
EAD Group 3 -
Previous Games: Legend of Zelda: MM through to Link's Crossbow Training
Current Project: Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks, Legend of Zelda Wii
EAD Group 4 -

Current Project: New Super Mario Bros Wii
EAD Tokyo -

So thats four out of 5 of Nintendo's main internal studios accounted for. What else?
Nintendo Software Planning & Development: currently structured into 4 groups. SPD Production Group 1 is assiting on Metroid Other M, while Groups 2 & 3 are unknown. SPD Production Group 4 has been responsible for some of the Wii channels not games (so far).
Brownie Brown - Unknown
NST - Unknown (although they have done the recent Mario Vs Donkey Kong 3 on DSiWare so they may be quiet for a while)
Monolith Soft - Monado: Beginning of the World
Sora Ltd - Unknown
Retro Studios - Metroid Prime Trilogy, another project in works talked up by Reggie
Intelligent Systems - Unknown
So thats 5 Studio's (Retro Studios/IS/Brownie Brown/Sora/NST) and logically 5 games that are hiding from us. If you include EAD Group 1 then we have a potential of 6 games in hiding from us from first party. If ypu include Software Planning & Development (groups 2&3 which are unaccounted for) then we have 8 potential games. I would do second party now but I'm out of time.
