AdrianWerner makes a pretty sweet list every year for PC Gamers of hot upcoming games. This is basically a copycat thread for the Wii. I do not have the time he does, but I put together the following short list of Wii titles currently available and forthcoming that justify owning the console, as many owners have expressed disappointment with the lack of "hardcore" titles available for the system. Feel free to add to the list, and happy gaming.

The Current Triforce: Link, Mario, and Samus

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Super Paper Mario

Metroid Prime 3


Party games float your boat? Minigame Madness!

Wii Sports

Rayman Raving Rabbids

Warioware

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (WII)


Current Third-Party Titles

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Metal Slug Anthology

Mercury Meltdown Revolution

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure


Gamecube Support

Alien Hominid

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Mario Kart: Double-Dash

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Pikmin

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Tales of Symphonia

Viewtiful Joe


Virtual Console: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A (Select) Start

Games involvingthe MarioBrothers

GamesinvolvingLink

Metroid

Actraiser

Contra Not the original, but it'll do for now

Ninja Gaiden

Punch-Out!

...etc...


Upcoming Titles

Battalion Wars 2

Disaster: Day of Crisis

All of those, plus many unnamed titles, are the reason I bit the bullet and bought my Wii in July. I know they will be more scarce as the games get better.

Excellent post. I always did know that it would be great to be a Wii owner, but it is nice to be reminded of the greeat selection of both released and yet to be released games. There are so many games and so VERY LITTLE time.

I hope you will only post the games that make it worth to own the system, and not add "ok" games later on. Threads with games that will justify your purchuse just are a lot better then threads that just name all wii games.

Keep that up!:D

If not for its compatibility with the Gamecube, I would not have even considered buying a Wii. The backwards compatibility of the Wii and its growing collection of classic games available via the virtual console are two reasons many gamers - particularly nostalgic gamers such as myself - buy the console at all. Hence, I included some of the top older titles now available. Boz

Actually there are TWO FFCC games being released for the Wii. One is a World Builder type thing for Wiiware, while the other is a more traditional FF being released on disc. Crystal Bearers is the latter.

EDIT:Ugh, it ate my post again.

I do want to add titles, and some of the suggestions will definitely be incorporated when I have time, and if users really like this thread. So if you like the thread, be sure to leave a comment! ;) Boz

Nice post, but a lot of Wii owners complain that there's nothing to play with--although I can agree with that since a lot of those things on that list aren't even out yet, nor will they be in the near future. You can make the same argument for the other consoles and the games coming out for them or are already out.

I have no idea what any of this means.

This was actually a Gamespot image in the Wii image section. I just haven't gotten around to changing it yet.

Thanks to this thread, I continued playing Twilight Princess. :)EmilioDigsIt

My wife is monopolizing our copy at the moment. ;)

Anyone think it's worthy of a sticky? It'd be nice to have something to reference whenever anyone says there are no quality titles for the Wii.

um, i don't know how to add a pic, but i think dragon ball z: tencinechi 3 should be on that list to. some people would proably disagree, but with all those charcters and online play, it deserves a mention. i also think nights should be up there to.

A thread like this was needed, especially since Wii owners are becoming disgruntled. I myself was wondering about the Wii's long-term potential until I came upon this thread. Good work.

Try to find ANY image regarding the Tales of Symphonia sequel for the Wii and Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Virtual Console - that may help.

All of the game titles are linked, so you just have to click it and it should take you to the Gamespot space for the title, if one exists.

I did not realize they were exclusives until you pointed this out. It has been a double-edged sword for Nintendo. It might have been the saving grace of the Gamecube or its bane, depending on your point-of-view.

I am personally hoping that their development tools, which are supposedly the easiest of the three current-generation platforms to use, attract more third-parties. Only time will tell.
