They were giving out No More Heroes toilet paper for a while.
Reviewers have been going crazy for this title for a while.
Fake box art has been floating around the internet for a while.
The game is going to get TV ads (IIRC).
It is not underhyped; its sales are just sucking.
I've heard barely any hype for Lost Odyssey or Halo Wars, so your inclusion of those is kind of odd.
Anyway, I'd say the three most overhyped games are Spore, LittleBigPlanet, and Fable 2, in that order. No triumvirate of games will so disappoint internet nerds as those three will in '08.
Underhyped? No More Heroes, Halo Wars, Mushroom Men, Too Human, Ninja Gaiden DS, Mario Kart Wii (surprisingly).
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Some of you have strange ideas about what underhyped means.
One game that is not hyped at all but will be seriously awesome:
MULTIWINIA!!!!!
PC gamers put it on your radar (I have a sneaking suspicion it might come to the wii as well, as one of the devs said it might be their first console game - but don't quote me on that).
Oh, forgot one.
Seriously in NEED of hype: Sam & Max Wii.
