After last week's touting of the 44 Wii games Nintendo has in development, the company has since detailed the titles it will be rolling out in Japan this year - and it's a mighty impressive list indeed.

According to the list - which was swiped from financial documents by IGN - Nintendo will release its three big hitters: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Japan this year - and considering their importance, probably the rest of the world as well.

Bolstering the franchise trio are more mainstream-friendly offerings Wii Music and Wii Health Pack, which should no-doubt nab Nintendo some colossal sales amongst the elderly and girl gamers we've been hearing so much about.

Above: Oh, he's coming for you

So without further babble here's the list - but don't be too surprised if some of these see a delay into next year.
