    Default Name your favorite Wii game(s)!

    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.

    Let me show you a few of my favorite Wii games...

    Here's one.

    Here's another one.

    This one though...this one is really amazing!

    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.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    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.
    Autobots. Roll out.

    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.
