Since the official thread got so huge and people where requesting a summary I thought I'd start this thread with just about every info we got (I hope!).
Enjoy, since this is the day we celebrate!
Nintendo delivered!
Big! Woooh!
DS Demo Channel (Everybody's Nintendo Channel) announced
Nintendo announced that a DS download service is coming that will allow gamers to download DS demo's from your Wii and send them to your DS. It also lets users download and view video's for (upcoming) Wii games.
Fire Emblem DS announced
Apparently a remake of the very first Japan only NES Fire Emblem.
Online co-op in Super Smash Bros. Brawl confirmed
This doesn't need explenation, I would guess it's about the offline Adventure Mode you can go through with a friend in co-op but instead you can do it online. IGN confirmed it in their blogupdates on the event ("online co-op of some form").
Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl confirmed
New trailer showed, plus a additional Sonic trailer on the Dojo site on which you can see his moves, hear ingame Sonic music from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and see the start of his Final Smash (Super Sonic!).
"Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Finish the fight!"
Both new trailers and character profile including more screens is located
here.
WiiWare blowout
WiiWare uncovered, 7 new games announced, releasedate in Japan and pricing off 1 high profile WiiWare titel.
Quote:
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land
Developer: Square-Enix
Website: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/littleking/
Square Enix brings a 2nd Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles exclusive to WiiWare. New genre, new name/logo, new devteam.
In FF CC:The Young King and the Promised Land you play as a young king that has to rebuild his country after it was destroyed in the previous Crystal Chronicle game.
(click on the thumbnails for original size)
[ 5 ][ 6 ]
Pricing: Only 1500 WiiPoints ($15) to download in Japan. Looks like a full blown game (simulation RPG) with great graphics (for Wii).
Official trailer Looks awesome, 1 minute actual gameplay
Pokémon Farm
Developer: Nintendo
In Pokémon Farm you can import your Pokémon from Diamond & Pearl and transfirm them to this Wii Ware titel so that you can put them on your Pokemon-farm. On this farm you can raise your Pokemon and take care of them.
[ Video ] (looks basic and kinda boring so don't expect much..)
Dr. Mario
Developer: Nintendo
Dr. Mario is a puzzelgame like the other Dr. Mario's, but this time it's online.
Star Soldier R
Developer: Hudson
Star Soldier R is the sequal off Star Soldier. A 3D verticale shooter filled with action, in which you have to destroy your enemies.
Bomberman
Developer: Hudson
Hudson also comes with Bomberman to Wii Ware (surprise!). Same goal as ever, destroy your enemies.
Joy Sound
Developer: Hudson
Joy Sound is a karaoke game and additional to the retail version, Joy Sound also comes to WiiWare. If you have a microphone (don't know if this is neccesarry), then you can download the game. You can download additional songs.
Mojipittan
Developer: Bandai Namco
Mojipittan is a puzzelgame that is very populair in Japan on the DS and PSP.
More screenshots off these WiiWare games can be found here.

At the very least 15+ WiiWare titles and counting (we already know Nintendo for one is doing a lot more than Pokemon Farm and Dr. Mario, I mean.. come on).
As far as I know, each and every one of these titles is geared toward the launch of WiiWare that is coming to Japan in march 2008.

Monster Hunter 3 Wii announced
Monster Hunter is one of the more populair Sony franchises in Japan right now and was previously Sony exclusive. Monster Hunter 3 was announced exclusively 2 YEARS ago for the PS3, untill today. The PS3 version is removed from the officia site off Capcom (which probably means that it's cancelled altogether). On this moment Monster Hunter 3 is exclusive for Wii.
