I tried searching for any past topics but there was some php error nonsense so I'm going to ask anyway. Recently my Wii Nunchuk broke, and I currently don't have a backup. I'm a bit bummed because I just got Cursed Mountain from Goozex and obviously can't play it. So my question is, what are some good games for the Wii that do not require the nunchuk to play? Are there any?

 

[vulva]

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a new one than other games?

edit: nvm

Of course it would; but I was just curious so I could add them on Goozex in case this happens again.

Is VC/WiiWare ok?

If not, Another Code: R springs immediately to mind. If you have Wii Motion Plus, how about Tiger 10 or Grand Slam Tennis (although I would thoroughly recommend playing the latter WITH a Nunchuck). There's Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Endless Ocean as well I think.

Excite Truck, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Wario Land: Shake It! and Super Paper Mario came to mind.

Boom Blox, Punch-Out!!, Wario Land, Bit.Trip Beat

There are tons. I want to say Punch-Out!! for 2 reasons. First of all, it's fucking awesome. Second of all, some copies at target still have that free bonus nunchuck right in the box, and if you can find one, it will set you back 50 USD, the same price as a regular copy of the game would cost you.

Besides that, Dr. Mario Online Rx, Megaman 9, Zack & Wiki, Kororinpa, Super Monkey Ball:BB, Wario Land Shake, Excitebots, Excitebike World Rally, Excitetruck, Klonoa, Sonic & The Secret Rings, SSB:Brawl, Animal Crossing, Dokapon Kingdom, Wario Ware:SM, Mario Kart Wii, a boy and his Blob, & Super Paper Mario are all games that are good, yet do not require it.

Zack & Wiki, Wario Land Shake, Kororinpa and Marble Saga Kororinpa

I'll check out Super Paper Mario, thanks!

Wiiware is fine, I've actually been thinking about buying Nyxquest, but since this happened I don't want to waste my extra points if I can't play it right now. Ill check out the other suggestions--no motion plus at the moment.

Awesome list, thank you! I didn't know Punch-Out didn't require it. It looks pretty fun from what the media I've watched. I'll keep the Target deal in mind, but currently no funds like that, but definitely a good deal for the future.

YMMV, but definitely worth the buy if you can find the deal! Regardless of the deal, you should still get it.

Most of the lightgun games: RE:UC, House of the Dead 2&3 and Overkill, Ghost Squad, REC.

Most bang for your buck? Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn...or in a very few days NSMB Wii.

I think Muramasa doesn't require the Nunchuk.

Only if you're using the Classic Controller or a GameCube controller. The Wiimote controls does require the Nunchuck.

Good point...

Hey OP, do you have a CC Pro, CC, or GCN Pad?

Thanks for the heads up, luckily I do have a Gamecube controller so it is good to know this is still a possibility. Really want to play this one at some point.

Thanks, my bad.

Sonic and the Secret Rings only uses the Wiimote. It's... an okay game, great graphics, but frustrating controls.

Ghost Squad and the RE games need the nunchuk, don't they? The HotDs don't, though.

Tetsunoku Vs Capcom.

but you might as well get the arcade stick which is more expensive than a Nunchuck:lol
