Well, it's a bit late for accurate estimation. Let's just say a lot of new games. And rather than write a separate post about each new game seen for the first time in this Nintendo media conference video, we'll just list out every new game we see in the order we see them, with a bit of description in case you can't figure out which is which. We'll also point out known games for which we're seeing the first video. Okay? - Let's Tap, developed by Prope, published by Sega. The sidescrolling platformer/fireworks ... thing.
- Karaoke Joysound, developed and published by Hudson. We knew about the game, but this video was the first look. It's the one with the rabbity avatar.
- Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. We saw scans of this remake this morning, and now there's the first video.
- Taiko no Tatsujin Wii. It's the one that looks like a Taiko game! Coming December 11!
- Some kind of memory game titled Start with 100 Words! This is the one with the video clip of the guy saying "I will remember ..."
- Punch-Out!!
- Another Code (Trace Memory)
- Kensakusu, which we can't transliterate at the moment. The one with the shooting gallery.
- Cosmic Walker, a totally amazing-looking space walk game!
- Spawn Smasher (again, early translation), the one about a little guy smashing stuff up in a field.
- Dynamic Combat (temporary), a neat-looking hack-and-slash
- Wand of Magic, the action-RPG thing
- Sin and Punishment 2 (yay!)
- Forever Blue 2 Beautiful Ocean: sequel to Endless Ocean
- Some kind of NHK quiz game guaranteed never to leave Japan
- Line Attack Heroes, some kind of action game about grabbing enemies and flinging them at each other?
- First video of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time. It really does appear to be a DS game ported directly to Wii.

HOLY SHIT!
Action games, realxed gaming, rythm games, RPGs, it's all there.
I guess this kills most people's fear of a lack of games in the near future. It sure did for me.
I'm especially looking forward to the next Another Code. The DS game utilized every featue, I wonder what they will come up with this time.

Echoes of time is a DS and Wii mixture game, like Four Swords was for GBA/GCN. It's not a port, it just looks that way.

Makes you wonder why they bothered with E3?!?!?!?!?

Boy, I got really worried there at the beginning. A lot of games I have zero interest in (like Harvest Moon, WiiMusic, that city folk game, the cheerleading game, dancing game, etc) but then things got interesting.

And after they got interesting, they got sexy...
Ethan @ Oct 2nd 2008 7:37AM
Yay.

I can't get that song from Prope's LET'S TAP out of my head, it's so addicting. Was this compose by Naganuma (Jet Set radio, Sonic Rush) ?
Listen to it here:

Now I just need to finish the games I already own so I can move past my self-imposed embargo. I've banned myself from buying new games until I finish off the ones I already own.

PUNCH OUT!!! I never played Sin and Punishment, so I don't know if it's worthy of "!!!" .
Dash @ Oct 2nd 2008 10:52AM
It is worthy it. Best Treasure 3d game. Please go buy the VC version, really man. It's a bit short, but such good shooting action.
igorponweed @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:06AM
How is it good with lack of dual analog?
Evan @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:05AM
I see two games in the video not on your list:
- the airplane dog-fighting game is The Sky Crawlers
- the school girl rhythm game is based on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Wow...
I hate to use this term, as its a Sony hallmark, but 2009 is going to be the year of the Wii.
Nintendo steps up, Japanese 3rd parties step up, and the games flow like water. Kick ass.

D'oh. Still no Kid Icarus or Star Fox. Everything else looks cool though.
Jman1236 @ Oct 2nd 2008 10:16AM
This totally makes up for E3! Also PUNCH OUT HOLY ****!
KIMP @ Oct 2nd 2008 10:00AM
Where can I see the video conference online?
Thanks!
Cyberxion @ Oct 2nd 2008 10:16AM
Punch out!, eh? I'm sold. Seriously, that tiny snippet of gameplay I saw looked pretty rad, so it couldn't possibly release soon enough as far as I'm concerned. Bring it on, Nintendo!
Ponza @ Oct 2nd 2008 10:51AM
I saw We Ski II. I actually enjoyed the first one, can't wait to add Snowboarding to the mix.
Dash @ Oct 2nd 2008 10:54AM
When will they announce the ones coming stateside?
High hopes for Sin and Punishment, Punch Out and the one in the picture. Also hoped for the Capcom vs Something I can't spell, but not sure it will get localized (import maybe?).
DaisukeKiriyama @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:32AM
You're talking about Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, which probably won't get localized here =\
Besides all that, I'm extremely excited for Punch Out! and SIN & PUNISHMENT 2!
That alone made my entire week.

I'd gone a bit cold on my beloved Wii since purchasing a 360 about a month ago, but this, THIS warmed my Wii-lovin' heart. I saw AT LEAST 5 games in that video I was all "DO WANT!!!!11!" about! I shoulda known better than to cast doubt on my little white box. Sorry Xbox, you're gonna take the backseat here pretty soon...
Loudfiero @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:18AM
Still no F-Zero!
I hope the GC-Remakes include Wii controls and combine sequels such as Pikmin 1 & 2 and Metroid Prime 1&2 otherwise, I'll play the versions I already own...
Would be nice if they imported your current saves as well...though they probably will...
Do all that and I'll sell my originals for the Wii-makes...
CJLopez @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:56AM
Nintendo just want my bank account doesn't they???
I'm thinking on letting em grab my money if these kind of things keeps on comming!!!!!!!!
MRB1G @ Oct 2nd 2008 12:13PM
THE SECOND I HEARD ANOTHER CODE WOULD BE THERE I DIED!!!!!!!! ZOMG I CANT WAIT FOR THAT!!!!!! that was a wicked game, I just hope the Wii version is just as good and longer. The other game that bought me back to life was Sin&Punishment 2, as a fan of the first one, I can honestly say thats excellent news :D

NERDGASM!!!

Whoah.
I saw STREET FIGHTER !!?
benjamines @ Oct 3rd 2008 8:53PM
I didn't see that new Miles Edgeworth game on the list. But it looks good. Plus, I can't wait for the new Trace Memory. However, I refuse to be totally satisfied until they release a new F-Zero and they Kirby game they showed a video for about 4 years ago.
