Lots of Wii games happening, here's the full release list photo

Nintendo had its big ol' conference in Tokyo today, so there's a lot of news flying around concerning the Big N. Our resident Nintendo fanboy Jonathan Holmes sadly isn't around to whip up a frothy storm over all the news, but he's at least leaving us little newsworthy presents, while breathing very heavily.

Hit the jump and you can see a nice meaty release list detailing the big Wii releases scheduled for 2008 and 2009. Some previously unannounced titled are visible, while some dates have been shifted about. 

I think for me, the highlight of the list is Sega's Let's Tap. It's it funny how you can tell a game is for the Wii, simply because its title begins with the word "Let's"?

Do I see Punch-Out as a release? Has my dream officially came true?

Dead Rising: Zombies' Sacrifice? Not to be confused with Chop Til You Drop? Or is that the title for the game in Japan?

Wow, there are some decent games on that list. Punch Out! and Sin and Punishment 2, being the stand-out titles for me. @_@

All other announcements are moot in comparison to Sin and Punishment 2

When I read "Let's Tap", I thought it was a DS game.

Equally confused by the Dead Rising title.

And I'm noticing that Fatal Frame 4 is missing...

I'm pretty sure Dead Rising it's Zombie Sacrifice in Japan and Chop Till You Drop in U.S.

Muramasa, Tatsunoku, I mean, really it could be worse.

Where did a new Trace Memory come from?

Klonoa, Sin and Punishment 2, a new Trace Memory, Taiko no Tatsujin and Punch Out?

Suddenly my import finger is twitching.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith?? That's been out since June. You mean Guitar Hero: World Tour, I assume, but that's not scheduled until Oct 26th or 27th.

Mmmm.... Sin and Punishment 2....

Ah, shit. Ignore my previous comment if that list was for Japan. My bad for reading too quickly.

I'm waiting for the better games we'll be seeing once the Motion Plus is released.

But Sin and Punishment 2 should be bombastic.

Hey I like some of those games!! I guess Nintendo and 3rd parties haven't completely forgotten about us.

Yay for Punch-out. It has been several months since my Wii has so much as been powered on, and I could use a good excuse to do so.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but I want to see this new "everyone's been waiting for" title Nintendo has...because no one has been waiting for Wii Music. Not any sane gamer.

I'm assuming since this press event happened in Japan, that it'll be the Japanese release dates.

I got all excited over the Karaoke Joysound game...a library of 30k songs to choose from....*drool*

Oboro Muramasa looks kick-ass... which isn't surprising considering it's from the makers of Odin Sphere...

Punch-Out!!

Dead Rising: Zombies' Sacrifice (already have a pre-order on this - and wtf the name change again?)

What I don't get is that they are making Sin & Punishment 2 and releasing it in the U.S. because Sin & Punishment sold well on the VC, but they won't even release Earthbound on the VC to gauge whether they ought to release Mother 3 here.
