Oh that's right, I forgot about TAIKO DRUM MASTER 2. Yeah, that game was pretty big on Wii in Japan (2nd highest selling 3rd party title, right?), so a sequel was definitely called for.

Yeah, November and December shall see VERY sweet sales for Wii in Japan, especially with those titles coming out. It may be a year too late, but hey, better late than never.

Why does everone forget Sin and Punishment 2 and Neo Super Robot Taisen bothing releasing October 29th might as well be November.

I love Sin & Punishment, but I think S&P2 will be lucky to sell 70,000 copies LTD in Japan.

It's a non-factor sales wise which is why its not discussed. It's going to be a bad ass game for sure though. Can't wait for it to release.

The Super Robot series should open well, but usually have 0 legs. The franchise hasn't done very well on new consoles. The 360 version completely flopped and was largely ignored. We have no idea which console the fanbase migrated to. I believe they're still on the PS2.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

The most recent one for the DS flopped I think.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Well to be fair the 360 Super Robot wars was just a port of the gamecube SRW game from 2004. It wasn't a very good SRW game either.

i don't see any reason why they wouldn't

Samurai Warriors 3 on Dec. 3rd as well.

Both Samurai Warriors 3 + Tales of Graces will get Wii hardware bundles (with Classic Controller included).

They should have spaced SW3 away from NSMB Wii, but I can see Koei protesting being any nearer to FF13.
