-------------------------------------------
So I'm buying a Wii this weekend. I used to have one a while back but it broke. And seeing as I'm getting it at a bargain price I'm very happy. But the gaming line up doesn't seem very broad for me. I know I will be getting RE4, again. And Maybe RE: UC. But there's not much else which appeals to me which is out atm. Sure I'll take a look at SH:SH. And I wouldn't mind having a look into Super Mario Galaxy but other than that I can't really see myself playing much else. But is there any other games out now/upcoming which I should take a look at.

Little King's Story!
It's coming out later this month and it looks really promising, plus NA gets a new difficulty level. It got really great reviews so I can't wait for it.
Other than that a couple of favorites are:
- Mario Kart Wii
- Endless Ocean
- Boom Blox (and Boom Blox Bash Party)
- Animal Crossing: City Folk
- Okami

Not really interested in Little Kings Story, had a look into it yesterday and its just not my kinda thing.
I remember Fatal Frame 4 being announced a while ago, but I haven't heard much from Temco about it, is it still in production?

Haaha, I came into this thread to tell you to buy Fatal Frame IV. xD
Here's the thing: it's Japanese-only. Nintendo decided to NOT release it outside of Japan, it will NEVER happen. Which is a shame, because IMO it's the best Wii game. I own it, but you have to have put homebrew on your Wii in order to play it, since the Wii isn't regionfree. I've been playing it in Japanese, BUT at the end of this month the English patch should be done (see link in my signature). It's about 90% along now. Seriously, *bleep* you Nintendo for not bringing it outside of Japan, it's AMAZING.

Your kidding me right?
This was one of the main reasons I was intrested in getting a Wii. Why the hell would they only release it in Japan?!

Because Reggie is a *bleep*. Seriously. Mind you, I can play it easily in Japanese, just using a guide to navigate menus and stuff, the storyline is pretty vague anyway. But still. =(
I got a Wii for MH3, and SH:SM, but I loved the other Fatal Frames, only to find out this was JP-exclusive... it even says on the back of the box, "not to be used outside of Japan"... Thanks a *bleep*ing lot. =(...

Meh, either way, FF IV won't come outside of Japan. Worth the import though, especially when the patch is done.

Nope. Resident Evil Archives: RE1 is already out in English, Resident Evil Archives: RE0 is currently Japanese-only, BUT it will be coming out in English. Not sure when, but I know it was confirmed.

Just searched for Resident Evil Archives: RE1 and strangely I cant find anything on it, but I'm more interested in Resident Evil Archives: RE0.
Am I better of just buying the Gamecube version and playing it on the Wii?

If you can find it cheaper than $30.
