List definitely feels a little padded with question marks and curiously hopefulls, but I agree that in terms of third party support, the Wii is definitely on an upward slope.
For me, personally:
High interest:
Punch Out
- (Unless they really fuck this up, day 1)
Skeptical, but watching:
Muramasa
- (Odin Sphere was beautiful but deeply flawed / action looks a little bit too repetitive so far)
Mad World
- (looks quality, but I'm not sure this is my type of game)
Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
- (Tri-Crescendo really botched their last game)
Arc Rise Fantasia
- (looks just a little bit...generic? Turn-based console RPGs are a dying breed, however)
Let's Tap
- (Might get old really fast?)
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
- (how much new content?)
Another Code R
- (first one felt like it lacked a bit of...substance)
Endless Ocean 2: Beautiful Ocean
- (are there any big differences? I liked the first one, but I'm not sure I need....more....so soon)
Sin and Punishment 2
- (thought the first was a little janky, but I have high hopes for Treasure to fix it up)
...which is a pretty good list of candidates, but not really mindblowing. I would hope that once Nintendo starts discussing more of their 1st party plans it would get much better. Usually does.
Capcom vs. Tatsunoko would single-handedly rise the collective to a greater plain, but alas - I highly doubt a release outside of Japan will ever transpire, 2009 or not.
I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the OP and say "wishful thinking" rather than "trying to make the Wii's 09 lineup look better than it is," though.

nah. Don't hold your breath either.Companion Cube said:Capcom VS Tatsunoko - Release Date: TBA 2009 (December 2008 in Japan)
CvT is confirmed for a release outside of Japan?
