Mushroom Men and Boom Blox look appealing. The rest don't do much for me so far.

Cool list. But I don't understand what's going on with Battle of the bands... the gameplay looks kinda wack to me... but it got positive feedback it seems. I will check more previews of it.

What about Oboro Muramasa Youtouden (Not the current name it is now Legend of Dragon Sword) It is made by Vanillaware and Vanillaware made Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire both for the PS2 and both were nominated for best of 2007 under different Catergories so if it is as good as there other games it will be great.

I kind of have my eye on 5 of them on the list. Boom Box, Deadly Creatures, Monster Lab, Mushroom Men and Rygar. Rygar giving me the most interest at the moment. I loved it on the PS2 and from what I'm hearing it may not be a direct port with the Wii controls anymore, but more of a polished improved version of the PS2 Rygar.

So I take it ToS2 isn't considered a sleeper hit. Finally, its getting attention.

Most of the games on the list I haven't heard about (except for that steven speilberg game: Boom Blox)

They don't look all that interesting, although, I have de blob for the pc, and I have to admit, its really fun.

Yeah new character, new modes, new bosses and upgraded graphics. My hopes aren't too high for it tbh but it's still on my must check list.

Hopefully they will fix the awkward camera that was in the PS2 version.

Wow. I've never heard of many of those games and many of them look pretty good, although I'm holding on judgement until they are actually released.

Still, I can't imagine all 10 of those games sucking. Something for fanboys to keep in mind before they state "wii has no good third party games to look forward too."

I wouldn't say that. The Wii has had some pretty great stuff come out on it and it doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon. But I think you already know that and you're just trying to stir up trouble so...

The only one that I find intresting is Oboro Muramasa Youtoden.

I personally think that Fragile may be a huge sleeper.

I mean it has a very unique and intresting concept for a RPG something that you wouldn't expect Namco to do.

Legend of the Dragon Swordnintendofreak_2

Why do people keep calling it that? That's not what it's called, it still doesn't have an English name.

From that list, De Blob, Boom Blox, and Rygar interest me. Fragile looks really unique, and really belongs on that list.

but interesting none the less. Their very nature as "sleeper" games mean that nothing about them is really known until release.

Interesting list... a number of potentially good games from THQ, surprisingly. De Blob and Mushroom Men are probably the only ones I'll consider, though.

I'm looking foward to Rygar and Boom Blox mainly.

Unfortunately most good Wii games coming up are sleeper hits because everyone thinks Brawl and Kart is all that's coming.

There's a lot of upcoming games that have my interest. Rygar looks a lot like God of War. Everyone's making games with weapons on chains. Heavenly Sword/GoW on PS3, Rygar on Wii, when's XBox360 gonna get a game with weapons on chains?
