Apparently Famitsu's newest issue lists a bunch of release dates.
I haven't seen this confirmed yet, but its listed on Kotaku. Originally came through the forum WiiPals.
July 2007: Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Fuuketsu no Grimoire (NDS, Square Enix)
July 2007: MushiKing Super Collection (Wii, Sega)
July 2007: Wii Health Pack (Wii, Nintendo)
July 2007: Mario Party 8 (Wii, Nintendo)
August 2007: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (NDS, Square Enix)
October 2007: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii, Nintendo)
November 2007: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 (NDS, Nintendo)
November 2007: Dragon Quest IX (NDS, Square Enix)
December 2007: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii/NDS, Sega)
In late 2007: Wii with DVD playback (Nintendo)
2008: Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Capcom)
I was hoping for a summer release.. and I thought i heard from Capcom that RE: Umbrella would be out this fall..
Take this list with a grain of salt until confirmation.
Kotaku's post
I cant wait for FFTA2, But since its being released in July in Japan, it will be around November for NA.
Super Mario Galaxy will take soo long, and theres not even any Online.
What is the Wii Health pack?
I doubt this is true...
That socrce is also not very creadible since it has not been officaly confermed yet
What is the Wii Health pack?
It's a fitness and health moniter game thing..
Supposedly there is to be a new channel devoted to it that as Kotaku said is
...supposed to upload user data to local hospitals...
That would be pretty interesting if it did.. and make parents love the system even more as they buy it for their snack pack guzzling children!
(No offense if you are a snack pack guzzling child.. I too could benefit from a regular exercise regimen, and this game could be useful for monitering anyone's health)

Its in Japan, if it was for NA, I wouldn't believe it.
Famitsu itself is usually very credible, and it's true that it often gets news before anywhere else. So if they list it, it's probably true.
The only part I'm wary of is that the first report of it is off a blog, with no visual evidence. (Not that seeing the Japanese text would really help me, as I can't read a lick of it.)
But wait and see if some other gaming blogs or IGN picks up the story. IGN often reports news read in Famitsu.
Moving to General Gaming.
No Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. already doubting it. and plus why would they a game like Super Mario Galaxy in October. no credibility what so ever.
I just noticed Brawl wasnt there D:, If its not released this year I will be mad.
I don't know whether I should trust that or not.
Yea, Japan is probably going to get Brawl before us.
*Notices Brawl AND Metroid aren't there*
*GLARE*
Oh, they better come out this year.
For they shall be mine, oh yes, they shall.
EDIT: I ARE CHAIN-CHOMP! ^('O')^ W00T! PAR-TAY! YIPEE! YEE-HAW! WOOHOO! YA! HOORAY! Ya...Woo...yipee...yay...
they will but Nintendo is just really good at keeping shut up to the last minute.
Famitsu is probably the most credible source in the world when it comes to videogames, so don't dismiss it so easily just because you don't like what's there. Also just because Prime 3 and Brawl are not on the list, doesn't mean they may not come out this year, these are probably just the games they are sure about (plus Metroid Prime 3 will be released here first because it is being developed in America).

That is true, we just have to wait and see if there is any truth to this.
Metroid will come out this year, it was ready for launch for f's sake. And then was held back, the only acceptable reason is to add online.
As for Brawl, I think Sakurai and his team are further into development than we know.
Reggie did say that they wanted to make the controls for MP3 perfect, that could be a factor as well.
Yeh, there's absolutely NO reason to not release Metroid this year. What could they possibly be doing OTHER than adding online.
Making it up to their and the fans' standards.
