Getting a wii, game choices ?

[robotriot]

From what I've seen, LostWinds is missing on the recommendation lists (download title). There's really a whole bunch of enjoyable games for Wii that justify getting the console.

I haven't owned a Wii in some time......but I REALLY enjoyed Tiger Woods Golf (wouldnt matter which year) and also Rapela Fishing. Fishing game are a natural for the Wii. There was also a marble game that had you guiding a marble around a course by tilting the Wiimote. Loved it. The Zelda game is FAR better if you play the Cube version...on the Wii.

About the Tiger Woods games, I expect them to go down in price really fast now that he's been in trouble.

Ah yes, the Kororinpa games. The first one seems nigh on impossible to find. The second one is still around. I haven't played them, but they do look quite good.

And Kitsune - I doubt it, most golf fans I know don't really care that much. The story is for all the gossipmongers out there. Once another celebrity does something stupid, Tiger will be an after thought again.

I don't take my Wii out often, but when I do it's always Tatsunoko vs Capcom. That game is excellent. The new North American version is going to be even better, so I'd highly recommend it. It's definitely the best Capcom Vs series game so far.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

I had really high hopes for that game. I just couldn't get past Emil's whining enough to enjoy it.

On a completely different note, Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles looks super duper. If it wasn't for my fear of Christmas shoppers I would have picked it up this past weekend. Gonna try again once the madness dies.

Honestly Mad World imo is a vastly overlooked game, maybe cause of the violence, maybe cause it's in black and white. All I can say is if you can get over those two facts there is one helluva fun game with some real great mechanics.

Mario Galaxy, Punch Out, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Fire Emblem, all really good. A Boy and his Blob is a pretty sweet 3rd party title, and Speed Racer is pretty rad for the cheap price its at now. If you play with other people frequently, I can recommend stuff like Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Party 8, Mario Strikers Charged...and of course, Wii Sports Resort.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is an amazingly fun fighter, and I can pretty much guarantee the US release in January will prove to be just as entertaining as the Japanese version, even if you don't know any of the characters.

As far as downloadable games, Mega Man 9, the Bit Trip series, Orbient, and World of Goo are some of my favorites. Just make sure you get an SD card...those can take up a good chunk of space from the Wii's onboard memory!

I hooked up my Wii again for the first time since June 10, 2008. I brought it to work for some Wii Sports and Puzzle Bobble love.

I might pick up new SMB and go through that - I played it briefly before and it seemed decent. Also the Metroid Prime Trilogy redone for Wii is supposed to be wicked.

Also, Kupo ha.

If you like adventure games, I strongly recommend Broken Sword Director's Cut. It's an old game, but it's quite excellent, and they added some content, making this the definitive version.

Another as-yet-unmentioned game I endorse is Deadly Creatures. It's an action game where you play as a scorpion and a tarantula. It's a very cleverly designed game, I don't know why it wasn't more popular. Cheap copies are in abundance.

I think they're going to bundle the wii steering wheel with it pretty soon.

[DuckTalesNES]

Also I really like Resident Evil 4 for the Wii. You've probably played the game before, but it actually controls really well w/ the wii-mote. And if you haven't played the game before, then you should have, so get it. I think its only $30.

I'm enjoing pangya go...i mean, super swing golf 1 and 2. We love golf is also good. Lots of the games mentioned are also great. I've not been playing my wii much as of late as I've been more on a DS kick. The Wii Rune Factory looks great if your into Harvest Moon though.

[CelticJobber]

No More Heroes is easily one of the best games I've played this decade, so I highly recommend it.

[jdc]

I'd probably buy another Wii just to own Mario Kart Wii. I played it at a friends house after I'd gotten rid of my Wii. The ultimate MK when used with a Cube controller (didn't care for the wheel method). Yep, I could live happy with just that one game in my Wii library. Honestly.

[poloplayr]

Endless Ocean (I CANNOT wait for the sequel to be released in English)

[Flack]

I still play ExciteTruck and it was the first game I bought. New Super Mario Bros. is a nice throwback to the old 2D platform games. Some of the shooting games like Ghost Squad and House of the Dead are pretty fun.

[megasdkirby]

It might not be for everyone, but the new Silent Hill Shattered Memories for Wii is pretty awesome.

It's nothing like the other games, but the psychological aspect is back in full force.

If you can, give it a spin. You might just like it. I know I sure did! And it's making me play the Wii again!

Bomberman Land is another good game if you into 4 players deathmatch and Muramasa: The Demon Blade is good pickup.
