Valve Talks About A Wii Game... For Kids?
Though the comment is still speculative, it does paint an interesting picture of where Valve's forces may be shifting:
"There's a lot of people at Valve who are parents and would love to make a game for kids. We all play the Wii a lot and we think that the proper way for Valve to approach the Wii would be to make something cool designed specifically for it. I mean, I'm not making any announcements, but there's a lot of desire internally to do something for kids, do something on the Wii." - Valve's Doug Lombardi
Not to be condescending to Valve, but maybe you should also consider a "big boy" game for the Wii. Portal 2 has been indefinitely delayed so that Valve may guarantee a revolutionary experience, but what better system than the "Revolution" to incorporate intuitive gesture controls with the joyous experience that is Portal?

Portal 2 on the Wii would be awesome, but I can't really see the Source engine running that great on it. Mind you with Valve's development times, it'll probably be Wiitoo by then, so maybe.
I totally just made up Wiitoo, and I'm proud of it.
To be fair to the Wii, X-Box could run the original Half-Life 2, and from my understanding the Wii is roughly as powerful.
Even still, that aside, I doubt Wii'll see Portal 2 (see what I did there?). It's a pipe dream, at best.
That being said, Valve practically pisses concentrated magnificence, so I doubt anything they'll out will be without at least some merit for us high-brow gamers.
The first thing that came to mind was a super cute version of Portal....like Portal Junior or something. I would kill for this game.
