Hello guys
Just got myself a Wii console for my birthday, now I'm searching for games to play.
What are, in your opinions, the games that I definitely should play? Every top list in the internets have the same items, like Mario and Zelda, so I just wanted to know from you what was your favourite Wii game! :D

I don't have one, but here is some i loved playing:

  • Resident Evil zero

  • Pokemon battle revolution

  • Every top has Legend of Zelda's games, because they are all a must play in the wii

+1 hidden gem, well more or less hidden, but definitely very underrated:)

It's not underrated at all, nor is it a hidden gem.

I thought about Mario Party 9, is it somehow worse?

Mario party 8 sticks more to its roots, I enjoyed it a lot more:) MP 9 tries out new stuff like everyone sitting in one car and they all move together, but only the active player is affected by things... If you have the chance, try it out at a friends first:)

Metroid Prime Trilogy
Punch-Out
Xenoblade Chronicles
Pandora's Tower
Madworld
The Last Story
Dead Space: Extraction (very underrated)
Resident evil 4 Wii Edition (improved controls compared to all other versions)
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Muramasa
No More Heroes 1+2
GoldenEye 007

but yeah, you have to play Mario Galaxy 1+2 and Zelda: Skyward Sword, of course. They're some of the best games ever made.

wii sports. There is also the wii sports party that adds in fencing and a couple other things. For the most part I didn't enjoy anything else on the wii as the controls are just stupid.

Since you probably don't want games that are on every list I'll name some more obscure ones (well mixed with some games that didn't sell well).

Little King's Story
Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (it's pretty good from a story telling perspective)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (sorry couldn't help myself)
Resident Evil 4 (seriously though the motion controls pretty much make the game better same as Metroid Prime Trilogy)
Red Steel 2 (uh I'd avoid the first one though)
Excitebots: Trick Racing
MadWorld (if you like Platinum Games stuff)
No More Heroes (both, they each have their own pros and cons)
de Blob
Dokapon Kingdom (better if you have people to mess with, think of it as a cross between a traditional JRPG and monopoly)

There are also a number of pretty good Wii Shop Channel games if you're willing to investigate reviews. You can get a bunch of freebies now if you can find Club Nintendo coins to redeem, as Club Nintendo has expanded their rewards to go with the closing of the program (just make sure you check the website as there's a deadline to get your coins and another deadline for redeeming them for rewards).

In addition, there's a pretty big library of Gamecube games you could go back to as well (as long as you got a Wii with backwards compatibility)

I've got the Family Edition, I guess it doesn't have the backwards compatibility?

Yeah that version doesn't have backwards compatibility. Well you would probably have been worse off if you picked up the Wii Mini as that one is lacking even more features (though is cheaper if I remember right).

I don't know many Wii games, but I'd go for Castlevania: ReBirth and La-Mulana (Both are extremely challenging, and the latter is almost impossible to beat without a walkthrough.). Heard No More Heroes is good. I'm sure Wario Ware: Smooth Moves must be pretty good.

Do you mean a Wii? Or a Wii U?

Read the title :P

I read the title, but it's uncommon for people to be buying a Wii now, and a lot of people colloquially refer to the Wii U as just "Wii." Just making sure.

If it's a Wii you've got...well, they've already been mentioned, but my recommendations would be Okami and Xenoblade Chronicles. I would recommend Monster Hunter Tri as well, but it's not nearly as much fun without the online.

This is what I was going to say, my personal favorite Fire Emblem game of all time.

Obviously, yes, both Super Mario Galaxy games and both Zelda games are stunningly good. Aside from those (in no particular order):

  • Fire Emlem: Radiant Dawn
  • Red Steel 2
  • Metroid Prime Trilogy
  • Goldeneye 007
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl
  • The Last Story (probably, I just barely started it myself)
  • Tiger Woods PGA Tour '12: The Masters
  • Wii Sports Resort, believe it or not
  • Mario Kart Wii

And, pay attention, this one is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, the most important one: Xenoblade Chronicles.

Red Steel 2 and Tiger Woods are both great suggestions, even if someone doesn't really care for golf. Using the Wiimote for golfing is just fun. Especially with an adult beverage in one hand.

Why didn't you just get a Wii U ? It plays all Wii games too.
Anyway:
Zelda TP & SS
Xenoblade Chronicles
Mario Galaxy 1 & 2
MadWorld
No More Heroes 1 & 2
etc. there's a lot of great Wii games out there

Wii U costs a lot more money...

not a whole lot more though, and you get to play new yet to be released games, not just old wii stuff

You can get a new Wii for about $100 less than a Wii U, that's still a lot of money. And you can get a lot of Wii titles from bargain bins. If OP can't afford the Wii U, chances are he's not going to buy the newest overpriced games either.

  • The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (not a Wii exclusive, but still...)

New Super Mario Bros. - great platform with classic content

If you don't have access to a PS3, I'd say Okami is absolutely a must-play. The pointer controls are fantastic.
Also, No More Heroes was a weird but great game.
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure is a great little puzzle game that no one played.
And although it was on other platforms, and the graphics are pretty bad, The Godfather: Blackhand Edition had more content that the other versions and had some of the best controls I've ever used.

Time to look through my collection:

  • Calling
  • Crash of the Titans (If you were a fan of Crash Bandicoot back in the day)
  • Disney Epic Mickey
  • Fatal Frame 4
  • Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers
  • Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
  • Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
  • Harvest Moon (Animal Parade, Tree of Tranquility)
  • Just Dance (any in the series)
  • Little King's Story
  • Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked (The DS series was better, IMO)
  • Metroid Prime 3
  • Monster Hunter Tri
  • Muramasa
  • Okami
  • Pikmin 2
  • Raving Rabbids (Go Home, TV Party, etc)
  • Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
  • Super Smash Bros Brawl
  • The Last Story
  • Xenoblade Chronicles
    (Skipped all the typical Mario/Legend of Zelda franchises).

Not sure which genre you're into, but hopefully you find something you like from my list! <3

I personally liked all of the games. They each had their own unique features~
