It depends on the kind of game you are wanting to develop. If it's something simple then java would work, but I would use a managed language such as VB.NET or C#. The C# syntax is closer to Java's than VB. You'll see a major performance boost moving to a .NET language instead of staying with Java for a game.
What are you smoking and where are you getting your information from?
Have I been sorely misinformed? It was my understanding that the 'managed' portion of the .net languages was in part the same concepts that Java used.
How is VB.net or C# going to magically give a 'major performance boost' over Java?
That assumption was based off past experiences developing in Java using Eclipse. The IDE was slower than VS at the time, which was roughly 3 years ago, and maybe I was doing things wrong, but the JRE started slowly when I was using it. Granted I haven't touched it for a few years and have upgraded my PC's several times since then but that is where I am getting my information from.
No need to take my statements personal. A simple 'You are misinformed' would have sufficed.
