Who said there weren't any good games being released on the Wii? Gamepro have put together a list of "21 Upcoming Wii Games To Drool Over". You might not be a fan of all the genres in the list, but at least a few of the games here might tickle your fancy ...

#14: Castlevania Judgment
ETA: November 18, 2008
Why You Should Give a Damn: Everybody wanted a Castlevania Wii game. Nobody really expected a 3D fighting game, but life's full of surprises like that. Castlevania Judgment is, in fact, a non-stop stream of surprises. The Wii controls are light and floaty, with plenty of waggling for attacks and dodging. All of the environments are from classic titles in the Castlevania franchise, and you can collect and unleash sub-weapons on your opponents. Every character has characteristic attack, dodge, and super moves you can use to defeat your opponent. There will be fourteen playable characters, including Simon Belmont, Alucard, Maria Renard, Dracula, and Death. If anything, it's a nice change of pace from the 36 straight awesome-yet-cliched 2D adventure-RPGs we've been seeing on the portables.

#6:Fatal Frame IV
ETA: Early 2009
Why You Should Give a Damn: The latest addition to the acclaimed Fatal Frame survivor-horror franchise, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is exclusive to the Wii, developed in a partnership between Tecmo and Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture (who also brought us No More Heroes for the Wii). Use your camera to fight off hostile ghosts, or to take photographs of friendly and neutral ghosts. Use the Wii Remote to control your flashlight, or enter first-person mode to control your camera. Enjoy eerily beautiful graphics that push the Wii's limits, with no load times to stop the action as you move from room to room. Solve the mystery that haunts three girls who survived a kidnapping on a mysterious island, and return years later to try and unlock their repressed memories.

#5: The Conduit
ETA: Early 2009
Why You Should Give a Damn: Who says you've got to own an Xbox 360 to get your sci-fi first-person shooter on? What looks to be a cross between Killzone and Perfect Dark, visually speaking, High Voltage's The Conduit can give you all that along with Wii Remote controls that'll make you never want to touch analog sticks again. Fight the alien Drudge that spawn endlessly from Conduits placed in every level. Destroy Conduits to secure the level, and use your ASE droid to solve devious puzzles. Customize every aspect of your controls, from which button does what to pointer sensitivity and running speed. Most importantly, it will have online multiplayer, which we've been aching to have on the Wii thus far. If this game works out, we can finally get our frag on, Wii-style.
