The 50 Best Nintendo Wii Games - Part One

SuperPhillip Central writes, "Generally when I see people say that the Wii's library is one of the worst of any mainstream console, I can only roll my eyes so far to the back of my head before pain sets in. It's just a lazy, thoughtless, misguided statement. Unless one's tastes are severely limited, there is no excuse for such a comment.

The Nintendo DS had its turn for the past five weeks, now the Wii is getting its share of the spotlight as the system is approaching the end of its life as Nintendo's main console. The console has one of the most diverse lineups of software. There's really everything except the Western RPG, I believe -- platformers, action, adventure, shooters, puzzle games, JRPGs, open world games, and so on and so forth for Wii owners to enjoy. So for every vocal minority that says the Wii has few games worth playing, there is a title that appeals to most people, and a library with loads of undiscovered and well known treasures to find. This list of fifty of the greatest Wii...

whoa whoa whoa who whoa wtf????????

this will be an interesting list.

i struggle naming the 20 or so games I have on my wii, so maybe I will find some gems i didn't know existed.

so far the list is meh. Some great stuff on there but some pretty bad stuff too.....Hope the rest of the list is better :P

ninjabake4081d ago

What's "pretty bad" on this list? The only mediocre game on the list is Excite Truck if you ask me.

Lucretia4081d ago

well its opinion. but wario, kirby and excite truck arent very great Imo

ninjabake4081d ago (Edited 4081d ago )

"Aren't very great" and "pretty bad stuff" are 2 completely different things if you ask me.

BattleAxe4081d ago (Edited 4081d ago )

LOL, they're all going to be Super Mario, Zelda and Metroid related games. This is going to be some funny s**t.

GameLord084081d ago

Obviously a good many of them will be first-party Nintendo games. Their software is one of the main selling-points of their consoles. It's the same reason why some of the best PS3 titles of all time are the Uncharted and God of War games; exclusive first-party IPs sell. They're bloody good games.

I don't see what's so funny or laughable when it comes to most Nintendo franchises being listed as some of the best games; that's one of the biggest things Nintendo has over their competitors. Can't you external fanboys just acknowledge this like mature gamers? Just... wow, you all sicken me.

This list will help such willful ignorance. :)
The ignorance is what is funny shit to me.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj64d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan64d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack64d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj64d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing64d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

GotGame81895d ago (Edited 95d ago )

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

gleepot64d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest155d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__154d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic155d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh154d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51155d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos154d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz154d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game
