Despite some issues, The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces has a lot to recommend it for. It will take most players a while to get used to playing the game with their hands "backwards," as it were -- a feat which could not be performed on any other system... well, until recently. It also seems strange to have the player character mute in a game with such an involved story line.
However, The Sky Crawlers is a solid flight simulator that touches on a era of planes that is largely ignored by video games as a whole. For fans looking for a solid flying game, or for something that's wholly different, this is a good bet.
Ace Combat’s creators discuss the 25th anniversary and history and future of the series in this interview.
Never got to play Ace Combat6, that game should have never been exclusive. I don't even think it sold well being only on the XBox 360.
So glad Ace Combat 6 and 7 will be backwards compatible on Xbox Series X. I hope both AC6 and 7 will be Enhanced on Series X with HDR and 4k

These ten games aren't just titles that were overlooked - these are ten that a fair share of gamers and consumers might not even know exist! Read our thoughts on what ten games are deserving of your attention."
Oh man, I've got Blast Works, it's got ports of all of Kenta Cho's classic freeware games too.
I remember when I had more time and back around release that I was all about getting high scores and making levels with Blast Works.
Nice list, Kororinpa and Munchables are two I've been meaning to try.
I'll also add Disaster: Day of Crisis, Eledees, Wario Land Shake and Pandora's Tower as some lesser-known titles worth checking out.

"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."
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.
if you want to see what great games are on Wii, try my page, all games tested :D and not Wii only

-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.
