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

ninjabake4608d ago

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

Lucretia4608d ago

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

ninjabake4608d ago (Edited 4608d ago )

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

BattleAxe4608d ago (Edited 4608d ago )

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

GameLord084608d 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.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq186d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.

Metroid Prime 4 is vaporware at this point

Zeldafan64119d ago

That's why it got a trailer last year

PRIMORDUS119d ago

Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.
