Well, one of the games I have been waiting finally showed up and I hope the other certain games will show up eventually.

I think also Hospital will show up at least in the weekend.
No hope for Gundam XD

I'd say Gundam's more likely to show than Hospital, even being an old port. None of the Trauma games have ever really sold well in Japan.
Realistically though, the only additional "coming soon" Wii games I can see entering the top 20 are probably DQM, Basara 3 and Metroid.
What about Atelier Totori and WKC 2, they should appear now.
I am worried, since these titles sell the most on their first week.
Atelier Totori...hey,strange it is not appeared yet.
WKC2 will appear soon.
@jarrod:I think Hospital has more possibilities because:
1)It is NOT at all a Trauma game,especially in Japan:it's like a new IP,for mechanics and style
2)By the way,the style is more japanese in the animesque sense than the other two
3)So far,I've seen it in the top30 on Amazon,and yesterday it even entered in the top20...and these are results never seen by a Trauma game
At least,it will do more than Gundam,even slightly

Yeah, I know it's bit a of a brand reset. Didn't know about the Amazon stuff though, that's a little encouraging. I hope it does well, it really seems like a top class production.
A bit of an aside, but I wonder why Atlus R&D1 never brought their other original DS series (Etrian Odyssey) to Wii? I think it could make a similarly successful transition (Wii controls were made for 1st person dungeon crawling)...

WKC2 is kinda surprising since we've had a date for awhile now. Of course there was a lot of negative reaction to the first from RPG fans, and the EX Edition expanded rerelease totally bombed... I wonder if WKC1 might've been overly lifted by being an early genre entry on the platform, and WKC2 will do substantially worse? That's basically what happened with Dark Cloud...

Why did you say that ? DC 2 did better in japan than the first no ? And it was a so much better game, i am hoping the same improve for WKC.
You're right about the negative reaction, but the ps3 was only at 2 million with WKC, now ps3 is at 5 million + and a bunch of jrpg are available so the fanbase is here.
I would like to see it equal the first one sales, but level 5 doesn't seems to market it properly.

Ack, you're right! I confused JP & WW figures in my head when I was considering Dark Cloud.
If WKC2 is as much of an improvement as DC2 was (which was MASSIVE), then maybe it'll be a million seller. :D
