6 Games To Complete Your Wii Experience

Erik G of VideoGameOlogists.com writes:

"So playing Xenoblade Chronicles has got me thinking about the other great games on the Wii that a lot of people probably haven’t played, but totally embody the Wii experience. With Xenoblade, the Last Story, and maybe Pandora’s Tower being the last real hurrah’s for the Wii in North America, I decided to compile a list of Wii games that people should be sure to play inorder to say that they experienced all the Wii could offer."

-ewww, Awful list!, Except for Other M, No Xenoblade?, Last Story?

frequentcontributor4398d ago

Apparently you didn't read the article, because Xenoblade IS on the list at the end of the honorable mentions (because it doesn't showcase the motion controls...), and Last Story is not out in the US yet, so...
Pretty good article. I hate when people complain about the lack of good Wii games; there is a ton of great stuff for the system even if you don't count first party stuff. I'll admit that the fighting and racing genres are quite barren on the system, but there's lots to enjoy in spite of that.
Anyway, I've never even heard of Sky Crawlers, so I'll have to check that out. I'll add A Boy and His Blob to the list of other great games at the bottom. The motion controls are unnecessary, but it's still fun and gorgeous, with some real puzzlers, later on.

-Actually Last Story comes out in June, So close enough. I didn't see the Honorable Mention, so apologies for missing Xenoblade. I own a Wii, I bought the Black one the Day it came out, I have everything from Muramasa and the Demon Blade, to Goldeneye, to Madworld, Other M, M-Galaxy I&II, Smash Bros, Okami, even Fragile and Boy and His Blob, Super Paper Mario, DK:Returns, Resident Evil UC, etc.. -so the Wii has gotten plenty of attention over the years, from me anyways.

try Let's Tap game too, running mode with friends (or not) is EPIC WIN!

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds465d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3465d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese465d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits464d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee710d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM929d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
