Kings Story is my most wanted Wii game at the moment lets just hope it doesnt take forever to arrive.
Kings Story is my most wanted Wii game at the moment lets just hope it doesnt take forever to arrive.
In case you missed it, WiiWare and Wii Fit have been dated, so those need to be updated.
"WiiWare, on May 12. Meanwhile, the anticipated exercise videogame Wii Fit will launch in America on May 19."
So far you have a really good list up there. As for what I'm interested.
Will Buy:
Mario Kart
SSBB
Tales Of Symphonia
Wii Fit
Kirby Wii (even with no information, I've been dying for a good Kirby game)
Highly Interested:
Okami
Fragile
Worms: A Space Oddity
Mario Superstar Baseball
SEGA Superstar Tennis
LostWinds

So basically that can be narrowed down to:
- Wii Fit
- Mario Kart Wii
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Wii Music (Maybe)
- Force Unleashed (Multi-Plat)
Maybe a couple others but those seem to be the only big ones.
on a side note: why does it take so long for Wii Fit and SSBB to come to NA? They're both million sellers in Japan already. Step to it Ninty.
I'll restart the thread at page 3 soon, so will already confiscated the next posts.
The list doesn't fit in one thread anymore, so I'll move it and place a link in the first post.
Castle of Shikigami III (April 15)![]()
An arcade shooter game (originally seen as a quarter-muncher on the Type X arcade board) that continues the popular series known to most as The Castle of Shikigami from the arcade and home consoles. Shikigami no Shiro III resembles past entries of the character driven scrolling shooter series, with its vertical display and anime cut-ins. This time around, players select from 10 warriors whom they directly navigate -- you'll find no ships in this game! The game includes five stages of blasting action, each cumulating in a major boss fight.
New for the home versions is a Dramatic Change Mode, where you can change between two characters on the fly. As a result of this new mode, you can now enjoy the two-player exclusive scenarios from the arcade version even when playing by yourself. The home version also includes a gallery mode.
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 (June 3)
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is a remake of the original Brothers in Arms game that was one of the most realistic and authentic World War II shooters ever. Based on a true story, the game puts players in the role of Sgt. Matt Baker, a D-Day paratrooper squad leader as he leads the squad through the European campaign. Each battlefield has been meticulously recreated from aerial reconnaissance images, US Army Signal Corps photos and eye-witness accounts of war-torn Normandy.
Guitar Hero Aerosmith (June 29)
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith puts players in the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar) and Hamilton (bass)as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer. Gamers experience Aerosmith's legendary career, from their first gig to becoming rock royalty.
As players progress through the game, they can rock out to scores of Aerosmith's greatest hits, as well as songs from celebrated artists that the band has either performed with or has been inspired by in some way. Venues from historical moments during the band's illustrious career offer the experience of "sweet emotion" and further capture the essence of the band’s rise to fame.
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Set two years after the events of Tales of Symphonia for the Nintendo GameCube, Dawn of the New World follows the journey of two new young heroes, Emil Castagnier and Marta Lualdi, as they seek to uncover the mystery of why their world has fallen into ruin. In their quest, their paths will cross with the original cast of Tales of Symphonia including Lloyd and Colette, as well as a summon spirit known as Ratatosk who claims to be the lord of all monsters.
Dawn of the New World introduces a new monster recruitment feature in which players can capture more than 200 unique enemies and train them to actively participate in battle. Players can then feed these monsters to make them more effective, and even evolve them into several new fearsome forms. The game also features an updated real-time battle system that lets players move freely in all directions around the battlefield, execute powerful unison attacks and take advantage of a new elemental alignment system for even more strategic depth.
Disaster Day of Crisis 
Your homework, if it's possible, is to ferret out a copy of the excellent SOS: The Great Escape on PlayStation 2, because we think that this will prove a worthy re-imagining of the survival action concept. In case you're not hot-to-trot with developers Monolith Soft's inaugural Wii project, you're cast as Ray (a dynamic moniker), a former rescue task force agent faced with a tirade of natural disasters, including tsunamis, earthquakes and a volcanic burp. Monolith Soft's owners - that's none other than Nintendo themselves - reckon the game's going great guns. So don't worry about the lack of fresh info or the relative scarcity of screenshots: this is no disaster.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (August)
How does the idea of leaving a trail of carnage in your wake, playing as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, grab you? Like a Vader neck squeeze, we'd presume.
This third-person adventure might not be the Wii lightsaber game we've been performing 'saber-dances' for, but there's no danger that using exaggerated motions to hurl hapless Stormtroopers across the universe will be anything less than 100% fun.
The use of Pixelux's advanced physical simulation technology (sounds like there should be a trademark sign in there somewhere) means that wood, glass and other such household materials will splinter and shatter in the same manner as their real-life counterparts, leading us to believe this could be the most fun you'll have this side of a six-pack of eggs and a toffee hammer.
Monster Lab (May 2)

Fragile (2008)

If you've played the brilliant Baten Kaitos on GameCube - and if you haven't, we're going to prod you in the ribs until you do - this is going to make your year.
Fragile: Farewell Ruins Of The Moon is a new RPG from the same team, and promises to lay on the atmosphere even thicker than BK did.
You play Seto, a young boy alone in a foggy post-apocalyptic world. It's eerie stuff: the Wii remote's your torch as you explore abandoned towns and disused train stations, stumbling on ghosts that, somehow, you fight (screenshots so far show you armed with... a twig).
It looks gorgeous - and that big sky-ball looks like it'll play a key part in your story.
Oboro Muramasa Youtoden

The name may be super Japanese (wait until you see the kanji!) but it all translates to an action RPG with swords and shurikens.
In Youtouden, you take control of Kisuke and Princess Momo in a quest to recover a legendary sword. The two must face off against rival samurai as well as more mythical creatures such as fairies and one-eyed giants.
The game promises high-speed ninja action that anyone can play thanks to the Wiimote. We don't have specifics, but the game will feature a combination of button and waggle-based gameplay, allowing players to take part in non-stop battles that will remind some of playing sword fighter as a child (sword fighter is presumably the Japanese equivalent of cops and robbers).
Samba De Amigo (August)
The Dreamcast was already getting throttled by the PS2's tentacles when Samba De Amigo flew out of the Sega nest in December 2000, but hopefully now it'll get the audience it deserves, on a console with two shaky-shaky controllers that can mimic the maraca. Ole!
That Sega have delegated developmental duties to Gearbox suggests it'll be fairly true to the original (as when they're not working on Brothers In Arms titles, Gearbox earn a crust by porting titles), albeit with an updated track list which we're sure will include the Mario theme at some point.
Downloadable extra songs were available even 'back in the day' on DC, so hopefully we'll get them, too.
If the remote and nunchuk work half as well as the original's mat and maracas, we're convinced that Sega's return to the Copa Cabassa will give you the shakes.
Mushroom Men (Spring)
Little tiny plants, awoken by sentience-giving magical cometdust, make like stupid humans by forming tribes and waging war with each other.
Razorblade axes, clothes-peg train tracks and similar Toy Story-ish reappropriation abound in this quirky platformer.
Little King's Story 
In Project O, the story follows a young lad just minding his own business, until a Don Quixote character marches up, thrusts a crown on his head, and calls him king. Now that he's got a crown on his head, the townsfolk are simply content with the knowledge that the kid is king, and blindly follow his orders. As Kimura points out, "that's the power of the crown." So now it's up to the player to rule, improve, and defend the land in a very unique real-time strategy game that's admittedly influenced by games such as Civilization and Pikmin.
Secret Files: Tunguska (Spring 2008)
PC point 'n' click adventure about a girl searching for her father. Actually a pretty good effort, as PC point-'n-clickers go (today's breed are hit and miss). Logical puzzles and a good interface help its cause.
Shiren the Wanderer 
A double dose of turn-based, randomly-generated dungeon crawling in 2008. On DS, it's an enhanced remake of an old top-down 1995 SNES, while the Wii's Shiren will be an all-new adventure. Expect both to be tougher than stale Weetabix.
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
Not a lot has been shown about this RPG from Square Enix. Word from the developer is that The Crystal Bearers will be a more traditional RPG than its Gamecube predecessor. The movie that was shown made fans very enthousiastic. Unfortunately romours about development troubles have appeared in the media since then.
Super Mario Sluggers
Once again Mario & Friends will star in a Baseball game that doesn't follow the rules. Like every Mario sportsgame expect over the top power-ups and loads of fun. No word yet on an online mode, but Mario Strikers had it so why wouldn't Sluggers.
We Love Golf 
There's no lack of golf games on the Wii, but if Camelot develops one it promises to deliver a lot of fun. Play in a cartoonesque world with Capcom characters like Chun-Li and Jill Valentine.
De Blob
An action puzzle title that allows players to explore and liberate an alien city from the evil, monochromatic I.N.K.T. Corporation that has taken over the city and outlawed all color and fun from daily life. Playing as de Blob, gamers will embark on a quest to re-animate the city of Chroma, and bring spunk and character back to the oppressed, by splattering buildings, landmarks, and citizens with color. de Blob features an intricate single player campaign as well as a multiplayer experience that supports up to four competitors via split screen. The game was conceived by a team of nine students studying Game Design & Development at Utrecht University's School of the Arts in the Netherlands.
Rygar: The Battle of Argus (August)
Grab your Diskarmor and swing into action on the Nintendo Wii as the legendary warrior, Rygar! Immerse yourself in Greco-Roman mythology as you journey through the sundered Island of Argus. Intuitive use of the Wii remote allows you to deftly and effectively control the use of the powerful Diskarmor to destroy enemies and maneuver on, around, over, and under obstacles to save Princess Harmonia.
Ghostbusters
The real Ghostbusters return in this videogame sequel to the Ghostbusters movies. Stars Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray reunite to reprise their roles as Spengler, Stantz, Zeddmore and Venkman. Supporting the ghost busting crew are the talents of Annie Potts, Brian Doyle Murray and William Atherton.
With Manhattain newly overrun by ghosts and other supernatural creatures, it's up to you to take on the role of a new recruit joining the original, famous Ghostbusters team. Equipped with a variety of unique weapons and gadgets, you will hunt, fight and capture a wide range of uncanny phantasms and demons in an all-new, funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.
Wii Music 
An expected compilation of music titles utilizing the unique control aspects of the Wii controller. Bang on a drum set, conduct an orchestra, and make beautiful music with your videogame machine!
Two games in the Wii Music franchise have already been revealed: one allows you to conduct an orchestra (and was famously used my Shigeru Miyamoto to debut Wii to the world at E3 2006), while the other allows you to break out the beat on a drum kit.
It is unknown how many Wii Music games may be included in final package. Perhaps this series might be released online as part of the Nintendo Virtual Console? Please check back for official word.
Fatal Frame IV 
Or Project Zero, as it's known here in the great continent of Europia. Another example of how the Wii looks set to dominate Japan, this highly-regarded survivor horror series is now a Nintendo-exclusive.
Ghosts are your enemies here, and because the ghosties' inconsistent state of being makes them rather resilient to sticks and stones (and words will never harm them), the only way to defeat them is to take their photo, thus sealing their souls in the film or, following current trends, in the SD card.
Work on Fatal Frame IV is currently in the conceptual stage, with work beginning after Grasshopper Manufacture finished No More Heroes at the end of last year, so don't be surprised if it slips into 2009.
Like what you see, Survival Horror fans? Then take a picture; it'll be here sooner.
Deadly Creatures
Deadly Creatures is a 3rd person action thriller set amidst a desert world of venomous terror, built exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. Players will control an armored Scorpion and a deadly Tarantula as they fight for survival against Gila monsters, lizards, black widows and many more terrifying creatures. Featuring intuitive motion controls and a deep combo-based combat system, Deadly Creatures is a thrilling mix of brutal creature-crushing action and suspenseful exploration of vast 360 degree desert and man-made environments. Gamers will explore this darkly compelling story through the eyes of two of the world's most deadly creatures.
Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon 
A unique Chocobo's Dungeon game for the Wii, this special version expands upon the original RPG franchise with new elements never before seen in the series. This time, the stage is set in the world of Ville, in the City of Forgotten Time, where everyone has lost certain memories. This exciting game is packed with a wide array of familiar elements from the Final Fantasy universe, and a dastardly dungeon system sure to ruffle the feathers of any seasoned dungeon crawler!
Gameplay features the same random dungeon, turn-based battles of the original, in a bigger, bolder production for Wii gamers. The adventure follows Chocobo on a quest to recover memories lost by villagers by a mysterious force, and the game footage showed these "memories" personified as shiny sparkly objects that will be collected throughout the gameplay.
Sky Crawlers ![]()
Bandai Namco Games will adapt The Sky Crawlers, the upcoming aerial war film from Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor, Avalon), into a Nintendo Wii game. Masanori Kato, a producer on the Ace Combat fighter game series, is directing the project for a Summer release. Famitsu has posted a Japanese video interview with Oshii and Kato and some footage of Oshii himself playing an early version with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck.
Lego Batman: The videogame 
The dynamic duo swoop into action in this amusing game from the creators of LEGO Star Wars. The game is based on the Batman Cartoon series and promises to incorporate the majority of the franchises badguys in the game.
Sonic Unleashed
Everyone's favorite hedgehog breaks new ground yet maintains his roots in a game that combines amazing next gen capabilities with classic Sonic 2D gameplay! Developed by renowned studio Sonic Team, Sonic Unleashed utilizes the powerful "Hedgehog Engine" to mesh seamless 3D and classic 2D camera transitions, whilst delivering a rich and expansive world with multiple paths to choose from.
Having been broken apart by the evil Dr Eggman, it's down to Sonic to put the pieces of the world back together again by retrieving the power of the chaos emeralds. In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic's amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!

Skate It, a spin off of EA's Skate game, delivers the real feel of skating in a fully reactive city, designed with advanced control and physics techniques to let players feel their way through every kick-flip and land every aerial.
What will definitely re-invent the skateboard genre is the possibility to use the WiiBoard to control your skateboard.
Shaun White Snowboarding
Snowboard game from Ubisoft. Will be controllable with the Wii Balance Board.

Who hasn't played a Sim City in his/her life? Will Wrights city building simulation will now also make an appearance on Wii. Roads and railroadtracks can be drawn with the Wiimote.
Tenchu 4
The fourth intstallment in the main series of this stealth/ninja game comes to Wii. No real info has yet been released, but at least this will be another title in the "mature category". It will be made by the developers of the first, and best, Tenchu game.
Animal Crossing: City Folks
The newest entry in Nintendo's Animal Crossing seies promises online and voice chat. The WiiSpeak device will packed in with the game. For the first time the player can travel to the city, where all kind of stores and facilities are, among others a place where you can turn your main character into your Mii. Compared to the Gamecuve version the big difference will be online. On Wii you can visit your friends villages online.
Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice

The successful Xbox 360 Zombie slasher will come to wii. This time the RE4Wii engine will be used, meaning another game with this brilliant control scheme.

Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles: My life as a King (WiiWare, April)
The first major title for Wii's downloadable games channel WiiWare is a massive one. The game appears to be a mix between Sim City and an RPG in the Crystal Chronicles universe. With a rumoured price of $15,- this could well launch WiiWare with massive sales. Now all we need is more storage space...
LostWinds (WiiWare)
LostWinds follows the plucky hero Toku on an adventure to save the world of Mistralis from evil. Little Toku is not much more than a regular boy (despite his destiny to be the world's only savior), but following along on his journey is Enril, the wind spirit -- a mighty and mysterious deity of nature that can use the powers of the air around to accomplish great things. Players control both Toku and Enril at the same time -- one hand with the nunchuk moving Toku, other hand with the Wiimote moving Enril as the spirit of the wind (shown in the first screens as just an icon, although the final game will make sure to pronounce the wind spirit as a real presence.) In simplest terms, you have a platforming game (rendered "2.5D" on an old-school 2D plane, only here rendered here with 3D polygons and particle effects) where you control the character with the joystick and then have a "cursor" to interact with the world. The hero carries objects to and fro and talks to townfolk, while the spirit of the wind whips up tornadoes that sweep away enemies and blows steady jet streams that Enril can ride.



Eternity's Child (WiiWare)
Created by British artist Luc Bernard, Eternity's Child is a dark fairytale following Angel, an orphaned creature, who sets off on an adventure to find the rest of his species and save his planet from being overrun by robots, originally created to repopulate Angel's dangerously polluted world.
According to Alten8, the Wii version is entirely hand drawn, with animations created traditionally, frame-by-frame. What's more, it's being billed as an "interactive fairytale", featuring two player co-operative mode, an orchestral score and songs "like an old Disney film". Meanwhile, the DS version appears to be a more straightforward 3D platform title, with a different story to the Wii version.


World of Goo (WiiWare)
World of Goo is a physics based puzzle / construction game. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo don't know that they are in a game ... or that they are extremely delicious.
Defend your castle (WiiWare)
XGen's upcoming WiiWare title is inspired by an existing cult classic from the studio, and will allow up to 4 simultaneous players while leveraging the unique capabilities of the Wii Remote.



Toki Tori
Toki Tori is a puzzle video game with platform elements originally produced by Capcom in August 2001 for the Game Boy Color. It was developed by Two Tribes and is their first published video game. The game follows a young chick, Toki Tori, and his quest to rescue his younger siblings, still in their eggs. To progress through the game, the player must pick up each egg on a level using a set number of tools, with new tools being introduced as the player progresses through the four worlds. This usually involves careful planning and creative thinking
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
An episodic series of point-and-click adventure games by Telltale Games based on the universe of the Homestar Runner web cartoon. It will be released this June through Nintendo's WiiWare service and be available for PCs. The game will take advantage of features on the Wii console, such as WiiConnect24.
Dr Mario
The idea of Mario rooting around with his filthy plumber hands in doctorly procedures is quite stomach churning, but the arrival of his NHS persona on WiiWare is anything but. Connecting vitamins and bacteria in a pill-swivelling variant on Tetris, this will also feature the Germ Blast minigame seen in More Brain Training.
Tetris
Everyone's alltime favorite puzzler. Since it was packed in with the GameBoy it reshaped this genre in gaming. Titled simply "Tetris," the Wii Ware version of the original falling blocks puzzler will feature online support, allowing up to six players from around the world to face off. On top of the classic Tetris gameplay, expect Wiimote-based pointer and motion controls and a mode of play where players have to contend with obstacles.
Bomberman
Lunchtime Bomberman tends to end with Kittsy as cruel victor and Kim storming off in a huff. Luckily, Hudson's Wi-Fi-enabled Bomberman arrives to open up the competition to you lot. Now you'll have the pleasure of watching Matthew bomb himself into a corner in the opening second of the game. Pity him.
Plattchen Twist 'n' Paint
A puzzle-shooter," is how Bplus art director Bernd Geiblinger describes the first third-party game ever announced for WiiWare. "In a shooter, fast aiming and pinpoint shooting are required; in a puzzle game you have to put on the thinking cap and make up some good tactics. Combining both of them, Plättchen is a completely new and unseen challenge."
Pokemon Ranch Channel
Typical Poké-fan response to Diamond/Pearl: "Awww gawd, me old peepers can't take the circa 1996 sprite work any longer". Never fear, say we, Pokémon Ranch Channel plucks out those crudely rendered 'Mon, 3D-erises them (technical term) and lets you hang out with the polygonal results, snapping some pics for mementos.
Star Soldier R
The original Star Soldier has been kicking around on VC for so long that it actually plays with a layer of digital dust on the screen. We'd opt instead for this faster, shinier version, though retro heads can rest easy - the traditional five minute caravan hi-score challenge returns, as does a ten-second version that asks for the longest shot combo.
Kirby Wii
No info yet on everyone's favourite alternative to a vacuum cleaner. According to Nintendo, the pink ball will star in one more game besides Super Smash Bros Brawl this year. We wait patiently for more info on this one. If Nintendo puts in as much effort as in Galaxy, Metroid 3 and Brawl this sure is something to look forward to.
Call of Duty 5
After the, very succesfull, 4th iteration didn't come to Wii, developer Treyarch announced the 5th version will. Returning to a WWII setting we can only hope they will implement the fluid controls of Metroid 3 and Medal of Honour: Heroes 2.
Guitar Hero IV
The Wii version of Guitar Hero III sold very well, 1.7 million to date, and it is therefore a sure thing the 4th version will come to Wii as well. Activision said they wanted it to arrive arround November and the song list (including Audioslave - Cochise, Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water, Boston - More than a feeling and Joan Jetts I love Rock n' Roll) was already released. Probably even more people will buy this game, seeing the rapid increase in Wii owners and since a lot of people now only have to buy the game, having the Guitar-peripheral already.
Animal Crossing Wii (TBC)
Animal Crossing as an MMO is as natural a fit as your money in Tom Nook's bulging wallet. Nintendo bigwigs have hinted at a number of exciting WiiConnect propositions for AC using the WiiConnect service, while deftly dodging the wider question as to how they'll actually work. However, knowing that the team behind Animal Crossing: Wild World also sculpted the Mii Channel gives us a clue. Our proposal: a special Animal Crossing channel, that lets you send self-crafted messages and items to your friends, as well as a 24/7 global shop. You know it's happening.
Kid Icarus (TBC)
Will Kid Icarus ever fly again? If rumors prove true, Nintendo is set to revive one of its most beloved and yet forgotten franchises, using the unique control of the Nintendo Wii system to feel the sensation of flight in an all-new way.
With Pit being in SSBB chances of the true successor to one of the hardest NES games could be pretty high.

This list shows the top 10 games released in 2008 according to Metacritic.
1. Super Smash Bros Brawl (94)
2. Okami (89)
3. Boom Blox (86)
4. No More Heroes (83)
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (83)
6. Bully: Scholarship Edition (83)
7. Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (82)
8. Mario Kart Wii (82)
9. WiiFit (80)
10. Endless Ocean (72)
Worth mentioning outside top 10:

Do you even post something that isn't a troll? There are a ton of games on there that look cool. But oops, fragile isn't white knight story, so it sucks, and should be disregarded. jeese, anything that isn't hyped to hell and back by sony or microsoft must be a crap game.

You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.


Games I want this year:
SSBB
MKWii
No More Heroes
Zack & Wiki
One Piece: Unlimited Adventure
