New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The new Super Mario Bros. doesn't excite me at all. Looks boring and easy. Dead space, Final Fantasy and Resident Evil might be the biggest hitters on this list. Maybe spore in there too, but nothing that would attract from the FURY of games coming to the xbox360 / PS3.

Halo: ODST, CoD MW:2, Aion, Demon Souls, Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Brutal Legend, Dragon's Age, L4D2, and many more are so much better than any Wii game coming out this holiday.
