In the most recent Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast (episode 20), the Nintendo crew lists upcoming 2008 Wii titles that should be on everyone's radar for purchases:

Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Wario Land: Shake It!
de Blob
Dokapon Kingdom
Naruto: Clash of the Ninja 2
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Skate It
Little King's Story

They also mentioned some other games that they won't call purchases now, but they think have potential to become purchase-worthy:

Deadly Creatures
Shaun White Snowboarding
Lego Batman
Sim City Creator
My Sims Kingdom
Samba de Amigo

The only ones I'll be getting are LKS and GH: World tour.

Short on cash -- otherwise De Blob, TFU, Wario Land, would also be in my collection

TFU? Why does everyone here always abbreviate everything, it's so annoying. :evil:

They didn't go out of their way to glorify it. All they said was that if you're a fan of the show it's a game to look for.

So that we look all smart and informed when people don't know what we're talking about. :P TFU = The Force Unleashed. The next multiplat star wars title.

They only listed games they've played so far. Tales of Symphonia 2, for example, has them excited, but they haven't played it yet to say for sure that it'll be a good game.

I liked the 360 demo -- I'm expecting about the same from the Wii version -- seen videos, looks good.

You have to use TFU because well STFU means something that is totally unrelated...and not very nice.

Naruto? i'm a fan of the series and i'm not excited at all with CoNR2, it seems the same game with more characters.

On the other hand, Little King Story and Deadly Creatures have my attention.

When was the last time someone hyped Dokapon Kingdom on the same level as Animal Crossing or de Blob?

Have you even PLAYED Clash of Ninja Revolution? The fighting is a lot deeper than you probably think (and I'm saying this for CoN: Rev. 1 and 2, not Clash of Ninja 1 and 2, cause they added in the Y-cancelling starting from CoN: Rev.)

The Force Unleashed looks like it will score 7.5 - 8.5, hopefully at least 8 because I don't have a job(money is hard to come by) and I promised myself if it gets lower than an 8 I will wait until a price cut.

I liked the 360 demo -- I'm expecting about the same from the Wii version -- seen videos, looks good.

I personally think the Wii version has a good chance of being better than the PS3/360 version- since it'll have a bit more content than the PS3/360 version, including multiplayer.

On the list IGN has, TFU interests me, I may get the Wii version before I get the PS3 version, but there's no question in my mind that I'll get the PSP version first.

The only other two titles on this lsit that really catch my attention are Wario Land: Shake It and Deadly Creatures. I only just heard of Deadly Creatures a few days ago- it actually looks pretty decent from what I've seen, so I'm interested in it.

It looks like there are some pretty good games on the horizon. Wario Land: Shake It!, de Blob, and Samba de Amigo all have the same release date which is going to kill my wallet.
