I'm convinced Red Steel will be crap. It was pretty lousy at E3 and apparently got a bit better? But I don't trust that. The controls themselves weren't that bad, but it was just an average FPS using a new control scheme. The sword fighting as lame too, although I do hear they've addressed that, at least a bit.
Excitetruck is a wild card. The game itself didn't seem all THAT great, but using the Wiimote as a steering wheel is actually a lot of fun. Dunno how well it'll hold up after that initial wow factor wears off though.
The Wii specific features for Metal Slug sound kinda lame, but if you have a Gamecube controller or buy a classic one, you should be fine. This is one of the best values you can get, so I'd definitely go for this, even though it doesn't do anything fancy. Still, is this due at launch? I thought the other versions were pushed back a few weeks, which is typical of SNK USA.

Earlier this month I bought Bully and Valkyrie Profile 2, both of which disappointed me greatly. 
And earlier before that I bought a Mac Mini because I was convinced my Windows desktop was dying... but it's okay now, so I have the Mac Mini hooked up in my living room for gaming/web browsing on the HDTV. 720p NES games!
