My Wii collection sucks and my subscription to Nintendo Power lapsed in 1997 so I'm not exactly up on what's awesome. ;)

Yes, know I could just go to Gamespot to get suggestions on Wii games but I'd rather hear from the fine people on this forum.

I currently have:

No More Heroes
Wii Sports/Wii Fit
Punch Out
Zelda: TP
Mario Galaxy
Okami

So, favorite Wii games! Any genre! Go!

Pretty sure a thread like this pops up every couple of weeks, but...

A Boy and His Blob - A tragically overlooked 2-d puzzle/platformer, it has some beautiful graphics and some real headscratcher puzzles to figure out. It is so much better than the NES original

Ghostbusters - I'm currently playing this one, and while it's not as tight as I expected, it's got a great script: basically it's the third movie. Plus, using the Wiimote to wrangle ghosts is just plain fun.

Klonoa - Another tragically overlooked 2-D platformer (sensing a pattern here?), it's one of the best platformers I've played. It's rather short, but it can easily be found for under twenty clams, plus it has some unlockable challenge levels.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii - No reason necessary. If you have a Wii, you're pretty much required to own this one.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, and Metroid Prime Trilogy all spring immediately to mind as must have titles.

Others definitely worth considering:

De Blob
Boom Blox (1st is better than the 2nd)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Little's Kings Story
Madword
Mario & Sonic
Metal Slug Anthology
MySims
Sonic & Secret Rings (Avoid Black Knight however)
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Trauma Center (any)
Zack & Wiki

Most of these can be picked up pretty cheaply.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is pretty much required, as are Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mad World. I'm also a big fan of Zack & Wiki.

Since some of my favorite PS2 games are on Wii as well(may or may not be as good,) I'll list those. I'll also list some Wii games.

Scarface the World Is Yours
Driver Parallel Lines
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Metal Slug Anthology

Not sure about many good Wii games, as most I've played I didn't like much.

Wii Sports. I'm sure you own this if you own a Wii.

Super Smash Bros Brawl. This is a good game if you have other people over. Don't play this by yourself because then it's just boring.

I like Rune Factory 2 on the DS, so I'd assume the Wii game is good. I'm also interested in playing Wii Sports Resort and Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World but I don't actually know if they're any good, just that they look like good games.

Im surprised only 1 person pointed out super smash bros wii. It is worth getting for sure. The fact that rob the robot and the ice climbers are in the game makes it so awesome.

O ya, and mario party 8 is also an awesome awesome game if you have a few friends to play with.

Mario Galaxy
Zack & Wiki

That's it. Of course I haven't played every Wii game, so I'm sure there are more good ones out there.

Since no-one else has mentioned it:

Kororinpa
(I think in America it was subtitled Marble Mania or something. Avoid the sequel which in Europe was called Marbles! Balance Challenge)

It is a fantastic marble madness esque game. The most 3D game I had ever played (only surpassed by Super Mario Galaxy). Great for high scores/speed runs and great for 2 player and for single player.

Super Mario Galaxy (my favorite 3D platformer of all time)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (even though it really is a Game Cube game)
Punch-Out!!
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Mario Kart Wii
Metroid Prime 3
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3


Those are currently my favorites. There are a lot of Wii games I still have never played that will most likely go on my list of favorites once I do.

Not sure if this counts since it's a classic game, but my current favorite is Fate of Atlantis on the Staff of Kings unlockable. I didn't think the actual game was as bad as everyone was making it out to be either. It can be gotten for really cheap too.

Tron 2.0

Gang, gang, gang...

<shakes head sadly>

As mentioned before (and will be mentioned again), any and all conversations that begin with the words "What is the best/your favorite game for such-and-such system?" has been done to death in the Classic Discussions forum. And I PROMISE you that there will be a thread already in progress. And we ask you to add to those threads rather than starting a new one up.

So, here you go. Link below. Please continue this there.
