You guys are just suffering from post-partum depression from the great Nintendo 'birthing' of 2010. Metroid, Mario, Kirby, and Donkey Kong all made appearances in 2010 along with a few other solid appearances from Sonic, James Bond, and Mickey.
Nintendo doesn't release their schedule of games far in advance as you all know. Be patient, young Padawans. You are depressed because of the great 2010 games and you feel nothing in 2011 will fill that void except Zelda.
Nintendo will find a way to surprise. I will bet money we will see another 2D platformer in 2011-- Yoshi's Island was a good guess, but a Luigi game would be cool too. Pikmin 3 is on the horizon as well as the Vitality Sensor. Maybe we will even see a new Nintendo IP. Nintendo has a few surprises in store for us-- they want one last good Christmas before they begin winding down the Wii.
As for 3rd party games there has been rumor of another Rockstar game for the Wii. House of the Overkill 2 is also rumored. We are still awaiting news on Dragonquest X (hopefully U.S. doesn't have to waiti till 2012). Capcom probably has something cooking-- they did us good with MH3, hopefully they can create another full-fledged game not just another spin-off. Activision usually provides a Call of Duty game, but hopefully Wii gets the new game not a MW2: reflex edition. Ubisoft will surely have a Just Dance 3 and maybe something else. THQ has mentioned bringing some of the Matel brands o the Udraw such as He-Man or Barbie (don't get too excited all at once). High Voltage has a few games lined up such as Conduit 2 and Grinder. There will also be several cross-port games between PS3 Move and Wii,hopefully a few of these turn out to be decent games.
I think 2011 still has a chance to be great-- especially if the Last Story and Dragonquest X are both released in NA and turn out to be solid games.
