After looking back at the past year with impressive sales figures, Nintendo is now looking ahead to the future, detailing some upcoming Wii games in the process.

As expected, the upcoming year will bring a number of high-profile titles to the popular platform, including Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, with Japan getting at least two new Wii-exclusive RPGs: The Last Story and XENOBLADE.

A breakdown of all the upcoming Nintendo-published games listed by the company in today's financial filings follows, along with any relevant comments made by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during his presentation to investors.

Of course, that's not all Nintendo has to offer. "Nintendo values the 'freshness' of our product information," teased Iwata, "and in general disclose information of our major titles to be launched at year-end during the E3 show...held in Los Angeles in June."
