Being a Wii-only owner for a couple of years, I've grown to love Nintendo's little white system. Here are my ten favourite Wii games:

- Little King's Story
- Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Donkey Kong Country Returns
- Kirby's Epic Yarn
- Metroid: Other M
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City
- Epic Mickey
- WiiSports

My top three conists of SMG2, SMG, and Little King's Story respectively. My most played Wii game is SSBB. I also decided to honour WiiSports since it was really fun to play when the Wii first came out. I have fond memories of my family and friends mocking around playing tennis and bowling.

 

[Amir0x]

Super Mario Galaxy 1/2
Metroid Prime III
Super Paper Mario
Fire Emblem
Boom Blox
Mercury Meltdown Revolution
Little King's Story

Honorable Mention: Ghost Squad

If Wii Ware is in the contention, that BIT.TRIP definitely goes in the Mercury Meltdown slot with that title becoming Honorable mention.

[Santerestil]

And is The Kore Gang THAT bad? It can't be as bad as Flips Twisted World, can it? I'm a huge platformer fan still and these really low end, C grade platformers are kind of a guilty pleasure for me. They have been since the PS2 era.

The tragedy of Kore Gang is what it could be: an old-style 3d platformer with a solid gameplay, a quirk design for enemies and NPC and an ambitious story with some musical pieces. But it has been in development hell for YEARS, and it was finally completed for Wii by a German devoloper who had NO idea how to make a platformer - and the worst, he had NO money. You don't believe me? Watch the cutscenes: you have a pair of decent CGI (one after the second level you can finish in FIFTEEN SECONDS), then, in the belly of the beast, they uses marker drawings. I'm not joking here, they really used some crayola because they don't have money for buying CGI! And later, they used a SPINNING marker drawing! And then some CGI at some random places.
The camera is bad (and worst, sometimes it's fixed where it couldn't), but this is nothing respect the level design. I've already told you of the second level, but one of later levels is a "racing" one where you have a giant snowball at your heels... if you don't turn around when the level begins, and let it roll before you.
You know that something is wrong when the first time you die at the penultimate boss, it appears a screen instructing you how kill it, because it's so convoluted that used a mechanic involving some enemies appared oh, like TWENTY levels first, and only here! And the last level? If you survive the view of the horrible, HORRIBLE animated texture used, you can make your way on one of the more frustant and asinine last boss ever, where you must shoot some ridiculous mechanical head in the eyes when trying to dodge more enemies than in the rest of the game, in an arena full of sticking puddles that slow down and expose you to enemies projectiles. If I didn't ragequit was because I was resigned to the fact the game was a ball of broken things with something good.
Some examples? The ballerina powerup is difficult to use and it's basically disabiltated almost everywhere, because it can broke the game. The dog runs TOO fast, so you can fall off the level before you can note it. You can glitch a double-jump with too facility, but it helps you to don't fall off platforms. And the musical pieces? The songs are really catchy, but the coreography.... meh.
However, I liked the safe and radio minigames, but only because they used the stick. And the collecthaton is strangely worth to be completed. There are infinite lives, so the frustation for the level design is somewhat attenuated.

Basically, not only the game is unpolished, but it's dangerously underdeveloped. It's not unplayable - and the songs are REALLY catchy - and I not regret to have imported it (used) from Germany, but... I fear that this the counterpart for Sonic 2006 on the Wii. But I don't have played that game, so I am not sure that a LP of Kore will be entertaining.



But... how is Flip Twisted Worlds? I played for some minutes and it seemed a Galaxy wannabe with some bad camera and a so-so leveldesign, but nothing of disastrous: what is gone bad?

[Nocturnowl]

Going to take the third party challenge!
honorable mentions:
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Enjoyable game, but I got my ass kicked online and sulked off with my tail between my legs very swiftly.
Tales of Symphonia 2: "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality" (flashback to said sentence 5 times within first hour). Too much of a retread for me to warrant list placement but kind of fun, Vesperia came out before it over here making it look worse than it actually is.
Rsident Evil 4: The best third party game of all! but it's a port so i'm going to leave this off the list.


10. Little King's Story
This game actually kicked my ass and I suck at it, as such I never finished it. Got to a point with two bosses (some drunk king and also an obese king in some kind of pinball battle). A solid strategy game that I imagine sold very little (like the King himself, hohoho!) which is a lovely perk of being a third party wii game.

9. Rune Factory Frontier
Was going great until I neglected the games completely horrible runey system which caused all my crops to suddenly die. Would have been ranked much higher otherwise.

8. Zack and Wiki
A game so dastardly deceptive! look at the name, the box, the art direction. Truly a game for the younger audience right? well prepare for a game that will kill you without hesitation and stump you into submission. A hybrid of point and click adventure with action elements. Some nice use of the wii remote here bar that cumbersome sword fighting, RAAAAGE!

7. Klonoa
Sure it's a remake but I hardly see that as a reason to ignore it for the list. My only previous Klonoa experience was a PS2 demo I had for the second game which now leaves me wondering why the hell I never got that game, ah well. So yeah Klonoa has a horrible english voice so save your ears by switching to gibberish language pronto.

6. De Blob
This game is repetitive yet somehow it's compelling. Alas it's sequel was too much more of the same so not even the shinier graphics of my PS3 version could get me through it. But the games are worth it for the funky soundtracks and awesome cut scenes, no really, I would sooner watch de Blob's cut scenes over many other games of this generation. The first game does have waggle jump so if you are easily mortified by such antics here is your warning.

5. Muramasa
The graphics are like a sensual massage for the eyes, the plot is like a bewildering mallet to the brain and the gameplay like either....
a) A mash to the controller on easy mode
b) A crushing of defeat on the harder modes
Yeah, I'm really not good with hack and slash, I had to relegate myself to easy mode. Why not take the challenge and prove your superiority over me by purchasing this game and playing it on the harder mode! You really should it's like colourful, mythical and stuff!

4. No More Heroes 1 and 2
First of all the jobs are horrible in the first game and so is the money grind, now that's out of the way I can praise the boss battles that are the driving force behind this game. It's madness in a positive way, it's motion control used satisfyingly and it's also lacking blood in the first game if you have a PAL copy.......I had no idea what I was missing until NMH2.

3. Monster Hunter Tri
Finally obtaining my gigginox armour is one of my glorious gaming moments. That Fearsome Maw eluded me for like 20 fights but the satisfaction of finally salvaging the item from the rubbery and flabby carcass of the poisonous beast was magnificent. Oh and the online worked far better than it had any right to.

2. Sonic Colours
It's a good 3D Sonic game, no really it is! you have to listen to me! it spends most of the time in 2D you see and the gimmick doesn't suck! I'm not mad! It's also kind of humourous.....yeah, you don't believe me at all now.

1. Mega Man 9
Does Wii Ware count? of course it does even if you forgot it existed, fortunately for all the game is multiplatform so we can all join together and endure many a death. I consider this the best MM game in both gameplay and music, Hornet Dance is my track of choice

Might go for a first party list later.

 

[Ganondorfo]

Almost everyone here has mario galaxy 1-2 on his list, yet few have zelda twilight princess in their top 10, so lets hope that nintendo will make a great quality game of skyward sword...


The only difference between wii and gamecube is, that the gamecube had a masterpiece of a third party game (RESIDENT EVIL 4), and the wii doesnt have that kind of game (third party) that can compete with the mighty RE4.

I know resident evil 4 is also on the wii, but it came out on gamecube first.

 

[Kandinsky]

Man HotD Overkill is such an awesome game, I think Im gonna replay it after Folklore.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Third Party:
-Madworld
-Monster Hunter Tri
-Little King Story
-Chocobo Dungeon
-Zack and Wiki
-Rune Factory Frontier
-de Blob
-No More Heroes 1/2
-Trackmania
-Klonoa

Goldeneye, SSX: Blur, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Cursed Mountain, Red Steel 2, Sonic Colors, Dead Space Extraction, Darkaide Chronicals, Ghost Squad, Kororinpa, Okami, RE4, Blast Works, Fragile, Bully, The Godfather and Silent Hill all get honorable mentions.


First Party:
-Super Mario Galaxy 1/2
-Metroid Prime Trilogy
-Sin and Punishment 2
-Excite Trucks/Bots
-Endless Ocean
-Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
-Batallion Wars Wii
-Kirby's Epic Yarn
-Donkey Kong Country Returns
-New Super Mario Bros.

Xenoblade, The Last Story, Fatal Frame, Another Code R and Disaster would all probably be on there as well.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I have 45 Wii games (not counting wiiware), from those, 19 are from Nintendo and 26 are third party.
The only one I found truely bad from those 45 is Rayman Raving Rabbids (the original, won in an ubisoft contest), and maybe WiiPlay (if I dont count the truly awesome tank coop game).
All the others range from good with flaws to fucking materpieces.

I even dont have some really good games of the library that I would like (Tatsunoko, Excitebots...)

So yeah, its really easy to do a ten list of Nintendo, and another 10 list of thrid party games, and I dont find the wii colects dust or the wii doesnt have games argument real.

Without order some of my favourites:

Nintendo
-Super Mario galaxy/Super Mario Galaxy 2
-Punch-Out!!
-Disaster Day of Crisis
-New Super Mario Bros
-The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
-Metroid Other M
-Metroid Prime 3
-Sin and Punishment 2
-Donkey Kong Country Returns
-Super Smash Bros Brawl


Third Parties
-Little King Story
-Bully
-No More Heroes/No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle
-Epic Mickey
-Muramasa
-Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles/The Darkside Chronicles
-House of the Dead Overkill
-GoldenEye 007
-MadWorld
-Monster Hunter Tri

And another lot that didnt make the cut, and thats even using games similar in the same series that I liked equally, which makes those list really mora than 10 games.

Yeah, fuck the I can count 10 games in the wii library.

Thats even good for going solo, but when you (normally and the intelligent thing to do) go with also other consoles, portables and PC (only one of those things would do), the wii has more than enough good games.

 

[MYE]

Super Mario Galaxy 1/2
Metroid Prime III
Super Paper Mario
Fire Emblem
Boom Blox
Mercury Meltdown Revolution
Little King's Story
House of Dead: Overkill
Dead Space: Extraction
Sin & Punishment 2

Honorable Mention: Ghost Squad

If Wii Ware is in the contention, that BIT.TRIP definitely goes in the Mercury Meltdown slot with that title becoming Honorable mention.

For the past couple of hours, I've been scouring the internet for a good deal on Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. Still pretty expensive.

Its in your top 10 so i guess you like it, but whats your honest opinion of it?
I'm really tempted with all the mentions but my previous experience with this IP was a quick one with The Sacred Stones. Not enough to fall in love or give the franchise a pass.

 

[Ushojax]

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Punch-Out!!
GoldenEye 007
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011
Silent Hill Shattered Memories
Trauma Team
Wii Sports Resort
Super Smash Bros Brawl

I have over 70 Wii retail games so this is a really small sample. Plenty of excellent titles that offer something different to most of the 360/PS3 library.

 

[Mystery-white-boy]

My retail top ten, in no particular order:
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
de Blob
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Geometry Wars: Galaxies
Excite Truck
The House of the Dead: Overkill
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure
Wii Sports

WiiWare shout outs:
Toki Tori
LostWinds
Bit.Trip Core
Bit.Trip Runner

Note: I have 5 retail games I own but haven’t yet opened, another 5 that I’ve played for no more than an hour, and a list of over 40 retail games I still want to buy, so I don’t expect my list to be anywhere near comprehensive compared to others'.

 

[Mofobolous]

1) Super Mario Galaxy 2
2) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
3) Muramasa the Demon Blade
4) Donkey Kong Country Returns
5) Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
6) Super Mario Galaxy
7) Metroid Prime 3
8) No More Heroes
9) Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles
10) Mario Kart Wii

 

[Sadist]

Fire Emblem is awesome, allthough the first chapter kind of blows because of the Dawn Brigade.

And fucking Meg. Most useless unit ever.

 

[Man God]

Fire Emblem is awesome, allthough the first chapter kind of blows because of the Dawn Brigade.

And fucking Meg. Most useless unit ever.

Fiona is worse.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
Punch-Out!!

[Sadist]

Fiona is worse.

Just a pinch above Meg imo. Still, except for Edward, Nolan and Sothe the whole Dawn Brigade is a joke.

 

[AniHawk]

10. sonic colors
sonic is still too floaty, but this was the first 3d sonic that i felt was actually a good game. some levels were frustrating, but i never felt something was actually broken, like in dkcr. plus, its presentation is amazing.

9. zack and wiki
this game gave me headaches. there were a ton of thinking outside the box moments. ...and i can't remember much outside of that it was constantly surprising, and hoping the next zelda game would have as many cool puzzles as this game.

8. excitebots: trick racing
aside from the stupid red bars, this was a pretty fun arcade racer. just wish the local multiplayer had been more fleshed out.

7. metroid prime 3: corruption
so retro got one right. well, mostly. the human characters were hideous and the load times were frequent, but hey it wasn't a boring mess for once. actually, it was pretty good.

6. fire emblem: radiant dawn
good ol' intsys. well, at least they got this kinda right after super paper mario. although it started slow, it ended great. it's been over three years since i played it last. can't remember much more than how much i liked it, and one chapter in particular that had me biting my nails.

5. nyxquest: kindred spirits
what a lovely little game. it's only four hours and 12 levels long, but what a ride. aside from lostwinds, it's the only 2d platformer that was designed specifically around the pluses of the wii remote, usually using pointer controls for puzzles and skills. unfortunately overlooked, and i hear the pc version was kinda shoddy and not well supported. plus, it has one of the best soundtracks in a game this gen.

4. sin & punishment: star successor
2010 was a great year for over-the-top japanese action games. this, bayonetta, and vanquish were all great.

3. the legend of zelda: twilight princess
i own this game for both the wii and the gamecube, but i played it first on the wii, and the game's defining moment, the city in the sky, was so great partly because of using the pointer controls for the double clawshot. the only real issues i ever had with the controls were the shield attacks (which are unfortunately being carried over into skyward sword). it's been over 4 years since i played it last, and my opinion on it hasn't changed. it's the zelda game with the best dungeons.

2. new super mario bros. wii
as a multiplayer game, it's a helluva lotta fun. as a single player game, it's easily the best 2d mario out there. the level design is fucking awesome, and goes a long way to overcome its shortcomings, namely the game's style and music. plus, mario jumps further if you jerk the controller to the right, like he should have all along.

1. super mario galaxy 2
everything the first game promised to be and more. the only 3d mario with a worthwhile post-120 star reward. still had some tiny issues regarding stuff like the notice for comets and previews of levels we'd already been to during the green star challenges, but the streamlined hub world and near-removal of the story improved the experience greatly. not to mention the superior level design and power ups (CLOUD SUIT).

 

[AniHawk]

For the past couple of hours, I've been scouring the internet for a good deal on Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. Still pretty expensive.

Its in your top 10 so i guess you like it, but whats your honest opinion of it?
I'm really tempted with all the mentions but my previous experience with this IP was a quick one with The Sacred Stones. Not enough to fall in love or give the franchise a pass.

you could try path of radiance for the gamecube first. radiant dawn is its sequel.

the sacred stones was basically fire emblem for newbies. it was a fairly easy game.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

People who can't list 10 games aren't real gamers and should be ashamed. There's no excuse for not liking at least 10 games on a system with so many to choose from.

In no order (other than SMG 2 being #1)

NSMB Wii
Mario Galaxy
Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid Prime 3
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Twilight Princess
Punch-Out
House of the Dead: Overkill
No More Heroes
Sin and Punishment 2

 

[TripOpt55]

Hmmm... never really thought about this. Let me see what I can do. I think I'll just do five.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: My favorite Zelda and I actually like the motion controls. Any issues I had with them were worth it for the faster aiming with stuff like the bow. To me anyway. Just loved the dungeons. 4-7 are some of my favorites in the whole series probably. 4 my absolute favorite.

2. New Super Mario Bros. Wii: I still prefer my Mario 2D and I loved this one. And it was absolute blast with friends. Me, my brother and two of our friends worked through the whole thing every Saturday for a few weeks. Full of great ways to mess with your friends.

3. Super Mario Galaxy 2: The best 3D Mario. I like it because it feels like a 2D Mario in 3D to me. Just a lot of fun.

4. Mario Kart Wii: They kind of botched the battle for local play, but this has probably been one of the two or three most played games for me and my friends when we have a game night this gen. It's got some awesome courses too.

5. LostWinds: Winter of Melodias: Going to throw this in for variety's sake (this spot should probably go to Galaxy 1). I love both Lost Winds games, but the second one made a number of improvements. I love the art and it makes good use of motion controls. Overall just a really cool game.

Yeah I think I will stop there. Those are my favorite 5-7 (if you add in Galaxy 1 and the first LostWinds) games on the Wii.

 

[Man God]

you could try path of radiance for the gamecube first. radiant dawn is its sequel.

the sacred stones was basically fire emblem for newbies. it was a fairly easy game.

PoR on easy is a fair starting point, but yes, SS is absolutely the easiest game in the series and the most newbie friendly.

Almost everyone here has mario galaxy 1-2 on his list, yet few have zelda twilight princess in their top 10, so lets hope that nintendo will make a great quality game of skyward sword...

A lot of people probably aren't counting it since they played the Gamecube version. If I had played the Wii version then it would definitely be in my top 3.

Man HotD Overkill is such an awesome game, I think Im gonna replay it after Folklore.

Yeah, its great. It would be even better if i could skip the boss battles on replays.

Wasnt there a rumor of a sequel?

Yeah that's why it wasn't on my list. Played the Gamecube version because I hadn't gotten my hands on a Wii by the time it came out.

Just a pinch above Meg imo. Still, except for Edward, Nolan and Sothe the whole Dawn Brigade is a joke.

Miciah is fine. Volug could be considered a member and is actually fantastic.

Basically, not only the game is unpolished, but it's dangerously underdeveloped. It's not unplayable - and the songs are REALLY catchy - and I not regret to have imported it (used) from Germany, but... I fear that this the counterpart for Sonic 2006 on the Wii. But I don't have played that game, so I am not sure that a LP of Kore will be entertaining.

But... how is Flip Twisted Worlds? I played for some minutes and it seemed a Galaxy wannabe with some bad camera and a so-so leveldesign, but nothing of disastrous: what is gone bad?

That's a shame. I wasn't excited about Kore Gang at all, but I was aware of it for awhile and had my eye on it. Flip's Twisted World is definitely C-grade material. It isn't unplayable or broken or anything, but the controls are really frustrating and the levels are WAY too long. The twist mechanic is cool, but everything else feels uninspired, including the level and character designs.

One of my biggest problems is the structure of the game. Apparently at the end of the game it autosaves you in the final area and the game does not allow you to go back to old areas and recollect stuff you may have missed. I HATE it when games do that.
