Wow. There are a lot of titles I'm interested in coming out in '09. It's a good time to be a Wii owner.

uhh...is Let's Tap actually coming out outside of Japan...?
also, if TvC ever DOES leave Japan, it'll be a totally different game.
hmmm.....

The size is OK. Just press CTRL and minus in your navigator to reduce the size of the screen. I trying make a order that looks good for most gamers. But if someone suggest a good re-order, I can reorganize without a problem.

Thanks. What suggestions you talking about? Tatsuboko and Sky Crawlers are two games that your companies want to bring to USA. So maybe it's early to put they in this list, but I believe it's early to remove they from here too.

Since all you say about Takt of Magic is speculation, I will make a research first before make any changes. What other speculative misinforming are you talking about?

I'm really craving HOTD and that Punch-Out game. The music in the trailer was so wicked but I hope they don't ruin it with wacky wiimote movements. They could sell this as a two button game and I'd buy it.
Also looking forward to Tecmo Bowl Wii too.

Muramasa? Mad World? Dynamic Zan/Slash? Sin & Punishment 2? These are all titles that are definitely on my list right now, and I'm definitely looking forward to more joining them... 
There's a difference, though.
With Jojo, and at that point in time, Capcom was able to deal with Shueisha/Jump directly. They didn't have to deal with any American license-holders/middlemen, because no one else had any say with the Jojo brand. Thus, it was relatively simple for Capcom to just publish JBA in the States, make whatever changes necessary (with respect to various musical references), and take a chance on selling it.
With Tatsunoko, as was alluded to several times throughout the lifetime of the TvC topic, Capcom would actually have to not only hammer out deals with Tatsunoko themselves, but also make sure to have all of their ducks in a row when it comes to securing American rights. This is what basically describes the "legal red tape problems" that Capcom has been citing over and over, when it comes to TvC.
So, no matter how much the likes of Killian and Svenson may continue to champion the cause of the game and a domestic release, it still boils down to the notion of whether or not Capcom is willing to go through such trouble. At this point in time, it's more likely that Capcom could just do more to commission 8ing, or some one else, to make a different and yet similar title that could actually be safely marketed in the West ("Hanna Barbera vs. Capcom"? :lol), rather than really go through changes trying to do something about TvC.
Seeing how this is the same Capcom that probably couldn't give a damn about how much English-speaking Fate/Stay Night fans would like to get Fate: UC for themselves, as well as can't even be bothered to give Sengoku BASARA, their OWN franchise, another try in the States (ideally, without the "Devil Kings" malarkey)...it would be understandable to doubt the notion of whether they will release the game over here.

Oh wait, nevermind.
Eh, Lets Tap is up in the air. The game is a super easy localization, but it did so poor in Japan from the looks of things, they may think the game won't sell anywhere. I think it has sold less then 5k copies so far. I hope they bring it out to other territories, I'll buy it again in a heartbeat.Fredescu said:

TBH until like four days ago I thought it was a WiiWare game.
It probably would have done better on WiiWare, actually...

I know I have nothing to do with this, but i love to see this kinda thing.FoxHimself said:OP, your avatar is too big! I've resized and uploaded a new avatar you can use, so you don't lose your avatar privileges or get banned.
Use this:
First off, you don't really pinpoint which region you're talking about. It's really confusing, a headache instead of informing. If it's all for North America then there's a lot of unconfirmed games, placeholder dates, and publishers that are wrong. If it's for NA, do us all a favor and put unconfirmed games released elsewhere in separate section of the post. If it's not for one region... separate them anyway, it's too confusing at the moment.BDGAME said:
Secondly, can you be a bit more consistent? Use consistent names, in one place you have Ubisoft games, in another you have Ubisoft, in other places you have Ubi Soft. Just Ubisoft will do. You do it again with Bandai-Namco, in one place you have Namco, in others you have BandaiNamco, and in some you have Bandai Namco. They go with Namco-Bandai in English but it's Bandai-Namco in Japanese so I guess either is acceptable. Also, use a consistent date system and avoid confusing placeholder dates like the Muramasa date. And if you still have time, find a consistent genre system.
Thirdly, can you remove EA Tennis? It makes your whole list look like a prank. I'd also remove games like The Calling, TBA Pikmin Wii, and TBA Renegade Kid game until they're more formally announced but that's up to you. It'd really improve the credibility of your list.
Aside from that, some notes:
- You spelt Rainbow Studios wrong
- You spelt February wrong on Tenchu's listing
- Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was developed by 8ing
- Kizuna is being developed by Town Factory
- Ghostbusters is being developed by Red Fly Studio
- Little King's Story is being co-developed by Cing and Town Factory
- MadWorld has no space according to Sega
- You can put Tales of "Ten" instead of Tales of... (mothership title), and it's being developed by Namco Tales Studio. Unlike Project Aces or Project Soul it isn't an internal group at Namco.
- The developer of the TMNT game is Game Arts (where a few former developers of Team Ninja have gone, hence "from Team Ninja vets and some Brawl staff" but that's not a developer).
- All XSEED and Marvelous Entertainment USA games are co-published, you can write XSEED/MMV if that's too long.
- No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle has no confirmed publisher for NA yet. It could be Ubisoft or MMV could do it with XSEED them-selves.

Wow, what an amazing effort!
It surprises me how much, even at this stage of it's career, the Wii's lineup really reminds me of the Gamecube's lineup. Here's hoping some of the more appealing TBA 2009 titles make it in 2009.

I could instantly tell it's an old X-Box game just because of the style. :lol
Edit: Does anyone know if Let's Tap is coming to the USA? I want to play it badly.
