Recommended Wii Games...

I've had a Wii for about 10 months now, and it's a lot of fun. I'd class myself as a 'casual gamer', but I do like good games. I've got about 10 games for the Wii, but I'd say only 5 of them are really good: Zelda, Wii Sports, Tiger Woods, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart.

I fell for all the hype about Smash Bros. Brawl and bought it, but I haven't played that game for about 3 months; I just find it a little dull. I loved playing Super Mario Galaxy, but I gave up on it after getting about 108 stars. Those purple coin missions just pissed me off. I still haven't finished Zelda because I got stuck on that mission with the revolving staircases, and I can't remember what I'm supposed to do. Wii Sports is still fun with friends, but the best games I've got are Mario Kart and Tiger Woods. My girlfriend loves to play Mario Kart, so we have some good races there, and it's always fun getting a few friends over for a round of skins play on Tiger Woods. We usually have a little cash pool for each hole.

Anyway, I've finally found an English version of PES 2008 where I live, so I'm looking forward to playing that, but what other good games are there for the Wii? I'm into adventure-type games, sports games, and I used to love James Bond on the N64. I'm thinking of getting Super Paper Mario and Top Spin 3 - any good? Also, I find that the best games for the Wii (or any Nintendo system) are generally the ones they make themselves.

Any thoughts?

Any recommendations?

Any anything?

Brief explanations, and plus-points would be muchos appreciatedos.

Wii recommendations:

Buy a 360.

😖hifty:

...or show the Wii to your girlfriend. It'll make her a gamer, and help you get away with your addiction.

😉

Seriously, sorry for the non-advice. Just havign my fun. 🙂

Yeah, she's into it already.

I only really have time to play video-games for a couple of hours on the weekend, so I don't see the point getting a 'serious' machine like the 360 or PS3. They look nice, and I like games like GTA and God of War, but I've always had a soft spot for Nintendo. They're just so good at making purely fun games. A few years ago, I had a PS2 and a game called 'The Suffering'. Made me scared, and I didn't like playing it at night.

if you want multi player than perhaps guitar hero 3?
its a bit costly to get both the game and two guitars but its well worth it 😄

Anything else? Is Metroid Prime 3 worth a shot?

I enjoyed Super Monkey Ball...but I only played for like 4 hours.

Metroid Prime III is a great game, best FPS on the Wii.

Stop making up ridiculous-sounding games, you weirdo.

So, I've put Metroid Prime on the list, but what else? I want a comprehensive list, goddamnit!

Zack and Wiki, If you own a Wii, Z&W it's a must

Bloom Box it's also fun

Metroid Prime 3 It's a must... and maybe Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (I liked the controls in that game)

Super Paper Mario is quite good... though at times it can drag on and feel a bit too boring

... and if you like party games: Warioware: Smooth Moves can be entertaining

No More Heroes is also entertaining, a bit like GTA, but NMH is more style than substance....

... and if you didn't own a GC, there's a lot of GC games worth playing

Thanks for the recommendations! I forgot about Zak and Wiki - I meant to get it a while ago because I've heard good things about it. The same goes for No More Heroes, so I'll add that to the list. I've got Warioware: Smooth Moves, but I don't play it much; it was funny at first, but now I just find it a little boring.

Yes, add No More Heroes to the list. Fun game to play very funny and if you don't play games too much it isn't very long took me about 10 hours to beat. It truly is a must play wii game

My sister is head over heels for Trauma Center: Second Opinion. I've played it too, and I'd say it's enjoyable. If you havne't played Under the Knife on the DS, you should know that Second Opinion is basically a port of it (though they made one called New Blood on the Wii, and a recent direct sequel to UTK/SO on the DS). It's kinda lengthy in a sense, but it's also kind of addicting; there's a good story and it's told well for what they use (anime stills) with each operation completed, you might just want to continue on to see where the story goes next. I'd say you should give that game a rental at least.

The characters are all pretty original, but personally, both my sister and I hate Nurse Angie almost as much as I hate that Patty Lowell kid from that DMC anime ("Buy me cute clothes, Dante!" "I re-decorated your shop with pink and cute, Dante!" "I ate your strawberry sundae knowing full well it was yours, Dante!" "What are you doing with that .45 in my face, Dante?"😉. Almost.

Anyway, I'm only saying that because everyone else either said No More Heroes or Super Paper Mario.

Keep 'em comin', people! I want a list of about 10 games to get!

So far, I'm getting No More Heroes, Wiki and Zak, Metroid Prime 3, and I'm thinking of getting Super Paper Mario. That Trauma Center sounds interesting, but I think I'll pass...

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a must own and so is No More Heroes. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is a fun game that you should look up or if you haven't played RE4 yet that would be the better of the two. Sonic & the Secret Rings is the best 3D Sonic game to have come out so far (please be good Sonic Unleashed) and I would suggest looking into that and if you are a fan of the original (or just looking for an addicting game) I would say NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams.

If you haven't played Okami on the PS2 I would say check it out.

oh yeah, If you haven't play RE4, get the Wii edition... and Umbrella Chronicles as well.
NiGHTS is Ok, though the checkpoint mechanics is really broken, and annoying

And Okami is amazingl, It was a great PS2 title, I don't think the Wii version is any different (other than using the wiimote of course)

Metroid Prime 3
Resident Evil 4
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree

GET Metroid Prime 3, second best game on the system next to Mario Galaxy IMO.

I checked out that Okami, but I don't really want to play as a dog; the parts of Twilight Princess when Link turns into a wolf/dog were the most annoying bits for me. Resident Evil looks good though.

What are everyone's top 5 Wii games?

Here's my list:

1) Super Mario Galaxy
2) Mario Kart Wii
3) Tiger Woods
4) Wii Sports
5) Zelda

Those are listed in terms of the enjoyment I've had from them. Also, they all get frequently replayed - apart from Zelda which is waiting for the cold, dark, winter nights to be reopened.

1)No More Heroes
2)Metroid Prime 3
3)Zelda
4)Resident Evil 4
5)Mario Kart Wii

For some reason I haven't tried Super Mario Galaxy even though I really want to

1 - Super Maro Galaxy
2 - Metroid Prime III
3 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
4 - Super Smash bros Brawl
5 - Wii Sport

(If I didn't have RE 4 on the GC I would probably buy it for the Wii and it would be in first or second place)
