So, I never expected this maker of family friendly products to brand my brain with images of creepy ghost children, things that go bump in the night, and Japanese survival horror-style scares. That's exactly what they did, though, when a preview copy of Calling mysteriously appeared in my mailbox (Ok, I'm pretty sure the FedEx guy just put it in there.) Anyway, the cardboard sleeve containing the demo disc featured art of a terrifying little tyke and, of course, that too-happy bee ogling me from the bottom corner."
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Mario games are great for Wii, but what about survival horror games? You wouldn't think it, but the family-friendly box has some satisfyingly creepy titles."
How many times are we going to hear "you wouldn't think these kind of games would be on a Nintendo console?"
Seriously anyone who spews that sounds like an uninformed grandparent. At this point it shouldn't surprise you that any kind of game comes to a Nintendo console.
In fact every console from every hardware manufacturer is family friendly.
I recall a Silent Hill knockoff that never released. Even the name was something similar. It actually looked pretty.
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition needs to be on the list if not number 1!
PROJECT ZERO 2: WII EDITION (If you've never played Fatal Frame 2....this is a good version to play next to the PS2 port on PS3 via PSN)
Dead Rising was also ported to the Wii but I'm not sure if that is a good version or not, but still a horror title.
Cursed mountain is awesome. When using controls, don't make large gestures. Use small flicks and it works perfectly. Great game.
"Anyone who’s played Ju-on: The Grudge and is looking for similar games need to look no further than Calling. The game is genuinely creepy, and keeps the player in suspended tension the entire adventure. The game has a distinctly Japanese horror feel to it from the cliches, the ghosts, environments, and situations, yet all of these factors come together to create a new and interesting way to play horror games on the Nintendo Wii."

Fortunately for you, we’re not judgemental, biased writers; we understand that the Wii has its merits and strengths in particular areas, just as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 do. Therefore, what with Halloween coming up, we’ve compiled a list of our five favourite horror games on the Wii."
