The internet has offered title translations for the many Wii games shown in the Nintendo press conference showreel early this morning.

The biggest hitters, such as Punch Out, Sin and Punishment 2 and a sequel to Another Code - presumably "Trace Memory: R, Gateway of Memory" - we already knew about.

But the rest, including a new Harvest Moon and some rather nice-looking RPGs, we had no idea about.

The full list follows, courtesy of NeoGAF, with Japanese dates added where applicable. Best to watch the Wii showreel trailer side-by-side with this list open.
