For some people's complaints about Nintendo not focusing on "real" games enough, it seems they've got more than they did with GamCube, even before we know what they'll show at E3.  For GameCube I think I've got all NOA-released titles for 2001 and 2002.  For Wii I've listed titles with dates or that seem pretty sure things for an American release in 2007.

Series showing up on both:

Mario Party 4 - Mario Party 8

Metroid Prime - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Super Mario Sunshine - Super Mario Galaxy

Super Smash Bros. Melee - Super Smash Bros. Brawl

GameCube

Animal Crossing

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Luigi's Mansion

Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse

NBA Courtside 2002

Pikmin

Star Fox Adventures

Wave Race: Blue Storm

Wii

Battalion Wars II

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree

Excite Truck

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Mario Strikers Charged

Pokémon Battle Revolution

Super Paper Mario

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Wii Play

Wii Sports

Bolding those titles that frequently get derided for being nongames, kiddy games, or minigame fests by the hardcore, it leaves an equal amount of "regular games" for both systems.

It's possible a Wii title like Super Mario Galaxy could end up pushed out of 2007, but E3 announcements for games like Fire Emblem should leave the list as long or longer than it appears here.
