Guess who's back! That's right - its your old friend Canucklehead with an updated collection. I did this one originally a few months ago and we are already due for an update. Behold the absolute worst garbage currently available for the Wii (thus far). Luckily, there is no shortage of crap that and the last list was outdated by the time I even posted it. I've left a few of the real stinkers on and added some of the glaring omissions that people suggested - as well as a few more I found on my own. So, without any further ado, on with the new and improved list of craptacularity!
For fans of games that involve shooting down hordes of zombies, The House of the Dead 2 Remake will be something to look forward to.
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.

This is a great article and it's what many in the retro community feel.
I still play on original hardware if I have nostalgia for those systems I have my nes, mega drive, PS1, n64, PS2 connected through a retrotink 2x to a OLED Bravia and I'm happy with the image. Sometimes it's not even the games but the sound of a PS1 laser firing that makes the experience the changing cart or disc it's cathartic
If I don't have nostalgia for the system like SNES, Saturn, Dreamcast I'll emulate and maybe use a Bluetooth knock off controller or NSO controller to feel sort of genuine like the SNES NSO gamepad is awesome.
I also use ever drives for the cart based systems I own a few classics I love like super Mario Bros games, sonics etc but retro gaming is expensive so everdrive gives me that full library like emulation but I have the right gamepad in my hand because some systems just don't feel right unless you have the right controller mainly the N64.
But I'm under no illusion I'll have my retro systems forever all the console will inevitably die and that where emulation becomes vital. Its great for preservation and it helps make these old games accessible to younger generations who may wonder where their favourite franchises started and expose them to new things like games from the 8 and 16 bit era which still hold up really well.
I enjoy articles like this. It's actual game journalism. I would love to read more about the context of the store and the owner one day.
I started out completely against downloading emulators and roms. I considered it stealing.
However, recently, with companies like Ubisoft and others, telling me I don’t own my digital only game, and even the physical games that I do own are incomplete on physical media, some with nothing more than an executable file, on disc so that I have to download the entire game anyway. I have since changed my opinion on the subject. If game publishers don’t care about me, trying to do the right thing, then I’m not going to care about them. The industry brought this upon themselves.
At this time, emulation is the number one way to ensure game preservation. Even Sony and Nintendo is using this method officially to make older games playable on their consoles.
If my emulation were to go away then there is a chance the retro gaming market is likely fall into an even smaller niche since the newer generation of gamers will not even know those games existed.
think their is allot of bad games on the Wii. Compared to the PS3 and the 360.
@robertGonz69
Of course there is because the wii is the hottest thing so developers are just throwing garbage together and throwing out on the wii to try and make a quick buck. The reason it's not like that on the PS3 and XBox360 is because it's more expencive and time consuming to make it on any other system. I just wounder what IGN is gonna do to this game when they score it lol. 0.5!!!
agree with you.
How could he have forgotten M&M Kart racing? Gawd.
I still don't agree with the part where he said Wii Play is an honorable mention as a trash game. Certainly, it's not a great game, but for the $10 you pay for the game, it's really not that bad. Some of the minigames in it are really trashy, and their removal would've, over-all, made the game seem better. But you've got the tank game, air hockey, table tennis, and pool. Those are all actually pretty good. It's still only worth it if you do need an extra wiimote though, but that should be obvious.
Ill have to agree with what chrstphr567 said also with the ps3 if you take away sports and FPS (and by this i mean anything with a gun in the game)how many games does ps3 really have?
