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 Struggle

The 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.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade

An action RPG created by the developers of Princess Crown and Odin Sphere, Vanillaware, Muramasa follows the same direction in design with the producer going so far as to call it the third spiritual successor to Princess Crown. (Odin Sphere being the second)  The player can choose from two katana wielding protagonists, a young man name Kisuke and a woman named Kunoichi.  Based upon japanese mythology, the story revolves around a conflict over the Demon Blades; powerful swords that are the cause of chaos in the land.  The many beasts and demons you will face in the game are actually summoned to the world by the demon blades themselves.  Releases in Japan later this year and 2009 throughout other regions.

Arc Rise Fantasia

An 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.

Little King's Story

Developed 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.

Valhalla Knights

Rune Factory: Frontier

Developed 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.

Hey that Sonic game doesn't look terrible. Not great, but it looks a little bit different than their other recent offerings.

It will still probably suck though. We'll see.

I'm interested in that Klonoa 1 remake but I'm like one of the 10 people on earth who have ever played the original.

EDIT:
Judging by the "new" level design they are toning down the difficulty which really blows, the original already had a really good difficulty curve, imho.

Despite that horrible name, Muramasa looked pretty cool. I'm not too fond of the overall style, but it certainly looks great.
The rest look pretty lame to me.

Edit: oh it's from the creators of Odin Sphere. Neat.

I was a huge fan of Tenchu on the PS1.

Tenchu 4 on the Wii.. Ugh. The comments on the Gametrailers page are saying "this looks good for Wii!" but uhh... It looks like a Gamecube game to me. I'm not impressed with that at all.

didnt a klonoa sequel come out on ps2 and no one bought it? that's why I didn't really care about a sequel.

also you know kezay I know you wanted to GET THIS TOPIC DONE or whatever but it would help if you could throw up some details so I don't have to watch like seven youtubes or links or whatever to figure out if I give a damn (altho dont care about SONIC lol).

MH3 > NMH2

in what universe.

The universe where i've spent well over a thousand hours playing MH games with my friends.

I like NMH and if i had a Wii, I would own it and i am looking forward to NMH2, but I'll probably be spending a hell of a lot more time on MH3.

Man, they're making a Valhalla Knights game for the Wii? That's such a terrible series.

I really wish the Klonoa game were new, not just a remake

the whole video game industry is built around the premise that little kids will put poop in their mouth if they think it's candy
