Honestly, I think the lack of AAA titles also has a lot to do with a lot of the 3rd parties simply being caught with their pants down. Triple A take a lot of time to develop; Many years in fact. For them to have been announced/released by now, it would have meant that they were in development/planning before/shortly after the Wii was released. However, nobody, besides Nintendo, expected the Wii sales to be so strong, and anyone who did should be buying lottery tickets.
However, the good news is, now that the industry has seen the rise of the Wii, I'm sure many plans and budgets have been shifted and adjusted, and triple A titles should be in their pipeline (though not ready to be announced). This means soon, you should be flooded with the titles from the franchises you're familiar with, and ones that aren't just spinoffs.

I'd like to point out taht the Wii has also opened up a lot of doors for new 3rd parties too. Just check out the Wiiware channel Anyone can make a decent flash game for the Wii and even if you've got a small budget you can still make a pretty good game. Just Check out Hight Voltage games (the guys designing the Conduit) They've got what maybe one or two titles on the shop channel as things stand and they're pumping out one of the 1st person shooters to revolutionize the system and make the other 3rd parties realize that the Wii is probably the best system for 1st person shooters!
Not only that but I have to say that a lot of your opinions on "good games" are very shallow. You people only take into account games like PFS' and sports games. What about people who like RPGs or stuff in the fantasy genre? Tales of Symphonia 2 just came out and Castlvania is on it's way! Not to mention Mad world and No More Heroes 2! Metroid 3 rocked us as did Galaxy, Fire Emblem, LoZ and Brawl. I'm still finding LoZ used at full price at EB.
ought to try and keep a more open mind when you're discussing "good games"
