I know you guys know about No more heros but there is another game showing up that I'm really thinking about getting! Sengoku Basara 2 for info click here! > http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=177898.

Now be sure and check out the screen shots. This is how you make a Wii game look good. Now go find some soul caliber shots and you will see the difference. Look at the enemy count and the art! I've seen this game in action too and it's sweet! It's a dynasty warriors killer with some crazy designs!

Also too a number of shooters are starting to pop up!

Here some is stuff I could pull up just off the top of my head or maybe I should say off the top of magic box.

I see so much game news in a day I couldn't get them all!

What I'm seeing is capcom and namco are starting to really ramp things up! Along with lots of new comers!

If you find any more games worth listing that just are just getting ignored then feel free to post them here! So many people say there will be nothing in 2008 for this system yet the door is left wide open for new comers to really makes some hits. Mini games will stall out and real game will become a main thing again as the market become saturated with them. Plus developers came not hope to follow nintendo's every move with the casual market so they are most likly to do what they have always done..... make games. There are a few games I could not find right off hand.

Just to reiterate nintendo is doing their job getting hardware out there at all cost. They are getting people to buy the system. This will be the first time the game industry will have the same audience as the movie industry! I know it's surpassed those guys in sales yet the type of games we get are going to expand yet we will keep getting good games due to hardcore developers still existing.

I'm thinking things will balance out for the Wii in 2008 with a nice blend of different types of games since some games can not even think about selling on the other systems due to the strangle hold of FPS and online play. Which is weird because every one seems to like that stuff.

Here's info on Fatal Frame 4. I've never played a Fatal Frame so I'm interested.

Tecmo: Next shot of Fatal Frame will be on Wii
Posted Sep 25, 2007 at 09:43PM by Nicolo S.
Listed in: News, Games Tags: Tecmo, Grasshopper Manufacture, Suda 51 Ó5 QJ It's been a while since we've heard anything Fatal Frame, leaving some fans wondering what's going on in Tecmo's pipelines. Fortunately, love for Japanese horror is still there, and exorcising camera obscuras are still cool. 1UP was able to catch word at the Tokyo Game Show 2007 that another Fatal Frame is indeed coming.

Surprises don't stop there, because the next installment is coming to the Nintendo Wii, and will be developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. After working on much anticipated No More Heroes, Suda 51 and his crew will pull their sleeves up once more to create the next entry to the Fatal Frame series.

Anyone familiar to what the ghost-exterminating camera action is all about would know how many possibilities this decision opens up, but this blogger is rooting for a camera peripheral. Killer7 meets Fatal Frame also sounds very tempting, but they better not remove the anorexic female protagonists.
 
The only game listed there that really impresses me is Fragile.
The rest are not looking too good in my opinion.

But No More Heroes is a good example of companies pushing the Wii's power to good levels. And more are starting to, and Wii is getting more third party support, which we should see in the middle to the end of next year.

Most of these games are coming over here. I just put up a list of games just to peak into what other developers are doing.

Nice one Icandy! I forgot about that one, which is the reason why I made this thread.

Oh yeah who wants to bet that SF4 makes it's way to the Wii using killer instinct type rasterized 3d to 2d animation? Hell a rival schools would do me just fine.
