Tecmo held a press event in Japan recently and several games for Nintendo platforms were discussed. A quick run-down is below, broken up by platform. It is apparent that Tecmo is indeed supporting Nintendo platforms this generation, as was previously evident when Ninja Gaiden: DS was originally announced.
DS
- Kyotaro Nishimura Suspense - This mystery game was compared to Phoenix Wright and Hotel Dusk. It's based off of the novels of Kyotaro Nishimura.
- Draw, Speak and Start! Monster Farm DS - This is a new game in the Monster Rancher series that will take advantage of all of the DS functionality to create different monsters.
- Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword - The DS version of Ninja Gaiden was shown. Itagaki said that the game is part of the same storyline as Ninja Gaiden Sigma, taking place six months after that game.
Wii
- Project Rygar - This will be a brand new game in the classic Rygar series. No gameplay was shown, but Rygar's key weapon, the Diskarmor, will be controlled using the Wii remote.
Unknown
- Tecmo Bowl - A teaser trailer for a brand new Tecmo Bowl game was shown that didn't feature any gameplay. It was described as a brand new game that will come out in 2008. When discussing the platform, all that was said is that it will not be on the platform most people are expecting. I think it's safe to say that both Wii and DS would qualify as unexpected, so consider it a possibility.

Actually, it's nice to see so much support from Tecmo overall. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some fighter using the Wii remote or a Ninja Gaiden for Wii. Now all we (read: I) need is a Deception game where you could trigger traps with the wii remote. That would be unbelievably amazing.

This got me to thinking... it's nice to be on the side with the excitement this time. It seems like every day there're new announcements of something cool coming to Wii or DS.

Tecmo was pushed into this position because they have little to no PS2 games to port, unlike EA and Activision.

But seriously, while FFCC GC wasn't very fun, it was really nice to look at...
