Top 50 and Bottom 40 Wii games (including WiiWare)

[mercarian]

Seems like a very fair listing. The only thing that concerns me is that sometimes gaming review magizines can be swayed by advertising money. However, if I was going to make a list of top games for the Wii, it would indeed by somewhat similar to what's listed. I'll have to check out a couple of those games, they look like a lot of fun O_o

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
...I have Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection and it's fun, especially for $30.

I was just checking the thread to see if that got added, it is a blast, and very well done. Lots of polish for a $30 niche-y title.

I just added two games to the list of the best Wii games in the original post:

Mario Kart Wii
Okami

I'll update the list of worst Wii games soon.

I just added a game to the list of the best Wii games in the original post:

Wii Fit

I also added two games to the list of the worst Wii games:

AMF Bowling: Pinbusters
Kawasaki Quad Bikes

[slapdash]

Why is Wii Fit already in the top 30? It's not released yet, right? Is this a worldwide ratings list, or is something funny going on?

Wii Fit release dates:

Japan: December 1, 2007
Europe: April 25, 2008
U.S.: May 19, 2008

This is a worldwide message board, so I figure the list of best and worst Wii games should be worldwide, too.

Puppy Luv: Your New Best Friend

[Rob2600]

I just added two games to the list of the top Wii games in the original post:

Death, Jr.: Root of Evil (we'll see if this one stays as more scores are published) EDIT: Nope. Death, Jr. dropped a few points and is off the list. It still seems like a pretty good game though.
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure


I also started a list of the top WiiWare games in the original post:

Defend Your Castle
Dr. Mario Online Rx
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
LostWinds
Toki Tori


Finally, I added a game to the list of the worst Wii games:

George of the Jungle and the Search for the Secret

[Rob2600]

I just added another game to the list of the top Wii games in the original post:

Blastworks: Build, Trade, Destroy


I also added a game to the list of the worst Wii games:

Kawasaki Snowmobiles


As you can see from the list, don't buy any Wii games with "Kawasaki" in the title.

Don't buy any games with "Kawasaki" in the title, period.

Cheers for keeping this up to date... I had a count and I've got 18 of the top 30 games (though two are on PS2 instead - Okami and GH3) and plan to get three more shortly (Boom Blox, Pro Evo and Indiana Jones).

You're welcome! You have a really good collection of games. I want to get Boom Blox, but I'll wait for the price to go down. I feel like $50 is a little too high for that type of game, even if it is highly rated.

This was interesting to read, since I wasn't even aware there were 70+ games for the Wii.

I wasn't even aware there were 70+ games for the Wii.

There are a lot more than 70! There are currently 262 games released in North America, 245 games released in Europe, and 167 games released in Japan for the Wii:

I just added two games to the list of the top Wii games in the original post:

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon
Guitar Hero - Aerosmith

Depending on how the reviews go, Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon might fall off the list...or it might move up a bit. We'll see.


I also added a game to the list of the worst Wii games:

Alone in the Dark

[Icarus Moonsight]

Poo on a stick... I was hoping that Alone would have been a good addition. Crap. :/

The Xbox 360 and computer versions have been receiving average scores overall, which is better than the Wii version, but still probably not worth buying.

I just added a game to the list of the worst Wii games in the original post:

Wonder World Amusement Park


Also, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith dropped off the top 30 list and Alone in the Dark dropped off the bottom 40 list. It's score is still below average though.
