Marvelous in the title having to do with the company tossing a lot of Japanese support Wii's way with like, five or six games, but there are quite a few other games for the system at TGS even if Nintendo themselves aren't doing anything there. Will add more media and pics later, gotta split for a bit.
No More Heroes: Desperate StruggleThe follow up to the original No More Heroes, by Grasshopper Manufacture, Desperate Struggle has few details roaming about. Despite once again to likely start Travis Touchdown as the main protagonist, the trailer shows him ready to square off against a mysterious woman ready to take on his single beam katana, with multiple variations of her own. Expected to release sometime in 2010.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41056.htmlArc Rise FantasiaAn RPG from imageepoch and published by Marvelous Entertainmen/XSeed Games. The game is set in a world where a type of dragon has the capability to poison the land if it explodes in the area after being killed. The empire of Meridian has had trouble dealing with flocks of these dragons as they pass by the area but take to action when it is learned that a horde of them is headed for the capital. Two characters, a mercenary named Bright and a prince named Alse, go to aid in the effort. Bright is nearly killed in battle until he is saved by a mysterious girl named Ryphia. Ryphia has the power to control naturally forming storms of magic that appear as luminous rain. Details overall are few and far between (at least until TGS yields a bit more), but otherwise the game's main character designer is the same one that did the character art for Eureka 7. Arc Rise Fantasia is expected in 2009 for Japan, TBA for all other territories, although Marvelous has gone on record stating it will localize nearly all of its titles, including this one, outside of Japan starting in 2009.

http://www.gamekyo.com/videoen13308_arc-rise-fantasia-first-gameplay-video-from-tgs.htmlLittle King's StoryDeveloped by Cing and published by Marvelous Entertainment, LKS is a simulation RPG where the player takes control over a young boy that comes across a mysterious crown. The crown gives the boy the power to charm people and make them follow orders and as such is made king of the world he's in. Using his powers, his aims are to grow the town and make his subjects happy. Players will send or lead groups of townspeople to build up the foundation of the village and to fight monsters and gathers resources. It has a very Pikmin-like aspect to it, even various townspeople have their own weapons, skills and abilities to help in the effort. When roaming about the town itself, npcs will go about their daily lives with actual goals and interactions that affect others in the village as well as your decisions in issuing commands. This aspect of the game was noted as an important task for the developers early on when the game was first announced in 2007. The player, while playing the role of the king, will also have other jobs they can specialize in as they too will have to get their hands dirty in helping to make progress in the village. In addition there are seven other kingdoms all with their own specialities and people that the player will travel to throughout the course of the game. While noted as an RPG, a variety of genre sub types such as life simulation, god game and RTS make up the complete foundation of the title. The game is expected later this year in Japan and early 2009 in both North America and throughout Europe.

http://gamekyo.com/videoen13310_valhalla-knights-eldar-saga-first-video-from-tgs.htmlRune Factory: FrontierDeveloped by Neverland Co. LTD and published by Marvelous Entertainment, Rune Factory: Frontier expands the Havest Moon/RPG hybrid concept beyond handhelds and to the Wii in this all new adventure. Following the original Rune Factory on the Nintendo DS (with the sequel expected... eventually) Frontier is placed in the middle of those two games allowing players of the original to interact with characters from that game. In Frontier however, the game more closely resembles the original Harvest Moon games as you are able to manage and cultivate a farm but also, as you take care of your farm and expand throughout the environment, the town you're in will begin to grow and more people will begin to move in. The main character, Raguna, in this game is on the search to find a missing girl and a mysterious floating island in the shape of a whale may hold clues to her whereabouts. Outside of taking care of your farm and interacting with the townsfolk, Raguna will have to venture out to fight monsters which he can then befriend and use them to aid him in battle or provide goods and services back home. In the game, stamina and magic are defined by a system called RP or "Rune Points." As you use magic in battle or work the farm back home, you'll use up Rune Points. In game you'll able to purchase a variety of equipment and items to help out Raguna, pretty much like any RPG out there. The game is expected later this year in Japan and 2009 for North America and Europe.
