Did you actually look at the list I made? I'll rewrite to show the titles that WILL come to territories outside Japan, then games only for Japan so far and then I'll add in my extra titles and why I expect that..

99% Certainty or already released

- New Play Control: Pikmin
- New Play Control: Pikmin 2
- New Play Control: Mario Power Tennis
- New Play Control: Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat
- New Play Control: Metroid Prime
- New Play Control: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
- ExciteBots: Trick Racing
- Punch-Out!!
- Wii Sports Resort
- Sin & Punishment 2
- Endless Ocean 2: Beautiful Ocean
- Pikmin 3

Japan Only so far

- Dynamic Slash
- Takt of Magic
- Cosmic Walker
- Line Attack Heroes
- Trace Memory

Other unannounced titles that I think are likely

- Mario Party 9 Q3 (With such massive sales for the first one and the Wii Balance Board and Wii Motion Plus available I think it's a good opportunity) [80%]

- Kirby: Legend of the Stars Q3 (This title has been on the Wii release list for a long time now and is another Japanese favourite. If this is again missing then it's safe to assume it's dead) [60%]

- Mario Sports Title Q3/Q4 (Another staple to Nintendo's year, Is it time for Mario Golf with Motion Plus?) [90%]

- Intelligent Systems new title, I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say it's Paper Mario 4 Q4 (A holiday Mario title will be a big hit, Super Paper Mario was a big seller so the series is sure to continue, biggest question is has it been long enough for a new one in this series?) [70%] [50% it'll be Paper Mario]

- Wii Fit Plus Q4 (With the Japanese market slowing and Wii Fit being a huge driver almost a year and half ago in Japan, I think it would be a good time for a sequel) [80%]

- Kid Icarus/PilotWings Q4 (One of Factor 5's Wii titles, will it be one of these titles?) [40%]


Other notes..

- NST have not released a game since 2006 so any of the above titles could make way for a new title from them.

- I don't think Retro Studios will have anything to show until E3 2010

- Nd Cube, Ambrella and Genius Sonority are small devs and most likely are looking at Japan centric titles

- Monolith Soft are making an RPG title which could hit at the end of the year but I'd expect it to be Japan only

- Every other dev are working on DS I'd assume..

Also I have an issue with you Tres, you said you expected NoA to bring over Sin & Punishment in Q3 but you think they'll not promote it. How has that got anything to do with you enjoying a game that is clearly an upstream effort? Don't start with qualifying games that come out by marketing etc.. It doesn't take away the fact a dev was devoted to the game for two years and the game was then localised for you to enjoy.
