24. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

23. Monster Hunter Tri

22. Warioware Smooth Moves

21. Metroid Other M

20. Mega Man 9

19. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

18. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11

17. Wii Sports Resort

16. Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros Treasure

15. Okami

14. Rock Band 2

13. Punch-Out

12. Dead Space Extraction

11. Mario Kart Wii

10. Zelda Twilight Princess

Agree? Underrated? Overated? Not even a worthy on a top 25 list? Should any have been up there on the top 25?

Well it's IGN so they're not really experts on it

Might as well pick a vegetarian to help you pick out a steak

It's a bad list but it's IGN so they're doing their usual poor job

i think Muramasa: The Demon Blade, monster hunter tri, and other m should at least but in top 15 if not 10 but to be fair just picking 25 games wouldn't be cake walk for me

Well we only have five games at the bottom, so that's not exactly enough to make any calls about it... although if the 2009 list is any indication, I'm not gonna hold my breath in the hopes that it will be interesting. :P

Oh wait, hold on a second, what is this:

Last year, we took a vote and came up with our picks for the Top 25 Xbox 360 at that time. That list is below for your reference.

CONTRADICTION! The 2009 list (last year's list) had Wario Land Shake It had it #23.....this year it's been decided to be bumped to #22. It went up instead of down. Way to be consistent :Pwiifan001

I kind of feel like Wario Ware Smooth Moves is not Wario Land Shake It. :P

WRONG!

Wario Land Shake It may have been taken off the list or IGN had a change of Heart for WarioWare Smooth Moves, looking back on IGN's List 2009 list you should know.

Man, I was hoping Monster Hunter Tri to be higher.

At least IGN is FINALLY getting to the Wii games.

****!

I misread the Warioware's title...it's going to take who knows how long to recover from that one.

What threw me off was Wario Land Shake It was on last year's list,but not this year yet Warioware Smooth Moves is for some reason on the list now, when it wasn't last year...and that game came out back in freekin January 2007.

As much as they hated the game, I'm surprised Metroid Other M even made the list at all.

Still though, way too low for that game.

it's probably one of the most important wii games, next to mario kart wii, because of what both of them have done to the online system. still think MH3 and it's free pseudo DLC, support to wii speak and keyboard, lack of friend codes and simple, streamlined, (almost) lagless online that works oh so well.

Monster Hunter 3 is too low, and I hope to see Little King's Story somewhere on the Top 10. (I know it is not going to happen)

I've had mh3 for seven days but haven't even played it for 2 hours.wiifan001

The first four hours of the game are pretty slow. Then things start getting too epic.

Yee speak the truth :) Monster hunter has to be at the least in the top 15.

Also IGN is making a bad move by making this list now. What with other high profile games coming out later this year (Black Ops, DK Country Returns, Epic Micky!).

I agree with both things you said. LKS is amaizing, so hopefully it is in the top 10.

If The Conduit and Madworld are on this list and higher than Monster Hunter Tri or Little King's Story...just no.

Problem for me is I can't find the pickaxe that I apparently need to mine ore :P I'll definitely be playing more of it, but I'm kind of stuck less than 2 hours in...and this is a game that's going to require a LOT of dedication, something that isn't quite up ally at this time.

i think you win it from the old dude that forge weapons :P it doesn't require that much dedication... you just have to keep in mind that when you sit to play it, you'll most likely spend a couple hours on it. and that there's a lot to learn, but that's the kind of stuff you get with time. wii sports resort is too low on the list too >.> megaman 9 and tiger woods, really? which one is number 1, FIFA 09?

Zdub is such an awesome game, I am curious as to what has moved it out of the top 15. I better not see any mediocre FPS games ahead of it.

People also forget that different reviewers have different opinions. Just because X reviewers says a game is 9.0 does not mean that everyone who works for the office of the website agrees. The scores do not stand for everyone's opinions just one person's view. It says that last years list was Matt, Mark and Craig. This year it is, Levi, Craig, Anthony and Jack. I don't see the where IGN is being contradictory or stupid when most of the people doing this year's list are different.

I don't think last generation games should be on the list. While Resident Evil 4 and Okami might be great, I find it kind of dumb that ports are making it on the so called 25 best games list. Honestly I think these lists for systems are too premature when big games are around still around the corner. Donkey Kong and Epic Mickey still haven't come out yet.

Back to main point, people need to stop judging IGN and other sites as being unanimous and realize that different people have their own opinions and this is why these lists change all the time.

Pretty rubbish list. Kinda embarrassing they think PS2 ports, rail shooters, random music games, etc, are some of the best games on Wii.... Not to mention games moving up or down each year, and the inevitable Conduit in at number 7 or something :P

That's because Motion Plus has been used in, like, three games so far.

I'm confused regarding why Wii Sports Resort is, you know, on the list in the first place. :P

I mean it's not a bad game, but...

i think they're considering importance too. not to mention it set the standards for how motion+ should be used. then again, i haven't heard of bad implementation of motion+ yet.

That's because Motion Plus has been used in, like, three games so far.

I can give you a list of over 20 games that use Motion Plus that are released. Reply to this and I WILL give you a list.
