[QUOTE="craigalan23"]So what are the must have Wii games that have came out this year? I just got Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Donkey Kong Country Returns.game-ster23

If you enjoy 2D Platformers, you should look into Kirby's Epic Yarn.

I was looking into that and as soon as I have enough money I am going to buy it. 2D platformers are by far my favorite games.

Alright so I am starting to really enjoy the virtual console. I never played that many NES or SNES games when I was younger and there are just so many to choose from. Which ones are the must haves? I never played the original Zelda games and I was looking into getting into those and the Metroid games.

I already bought Zombies ate my Neighbors and Super Mario World. I have four gundred points left but from the looks of it I can;t buy any games with that amount of points so I am going to buy 2000 more.

I would very highly recommend A Link to the Past if you're wanting a Zelda game, it's truly an all time great

Because my PS3 broke, I am officially a Wii only gamer and need recommendations as to how to better round out my library. As you will see I'm more than stocked with platformers, so no Kirby recomendations please. Donkey Kong Country Returns Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 New Super Mario Bros Wii Super Mario All-Stars Wii Super Smash Bros Brawl Metroid Prime 3: Corruption No More Heroes 1 & 2 Monster Hunter Tri Sonic Colors Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Star Wii Sports EA Sports Active 2

What are you looking for? Adventure?RPG's? FPS's?

My personal favorites:

Okami LoZ Twilight Princess

Silent Hill Shattered Memories Little King's Story

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Epic Mickey

Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World

These are all excellent games in their own right, but it all depends on your own tastes.

Thank you for the recommendations, not really looking for anything in particular, just wondering what people would recommend so I would have a more well rounded library. I've heard really good things about Little King's Story but completely forgot about it, most likely that will be my next game to give me a little more RPG :)

I rented Super Smash Bros Brawl and thought it was alright. To those of you who have played both SSBB and Tatsunoko vs Capcom, which do you like better? I have not played Tatsunoko.

Could someone please recommend some decent strategy games on the Wii. I used to really be into SimCity, Age of Empires, and Railroad Tycoon a while ago. I was hoping for Civilization: Revolution to come out on the Wii, but it never did. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot! Although most of these titles sound familiar, I didn't know they were strategy games so this is a big help. I just started Dawn of Discovery (forgot to mention that in the first post) and so far I'm digging it quite a bit. Also, it would be nice to see Settlers of Catan on Wiiware.

Well Little Kings Story and Fire Emblem are both Strategy RPG's, Overlord is very Pikmin esque, they are more like strategy hybrids.

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Mario 64 for fun platformers/adventure games. All absolute classics. Potentially Starfox 64 as well? Also, not sure what to...uh...make of your profile pic. xD

Hello everyone! Stupid me, I forgot that there were recommendation threads. x]

Are there any good games that you can recommend for a lonely gamer (one who lives far away from school and 90% of his friends?). I've heard the Wii is a "party" system, probably one of the reasons I always have fun at my friends' houses playing a Wii. Any suggestions?

Here are my thoughts based on the forums:

-Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

-Super Mario Galaxy 1/2

-No More Heroes 1/2

-Madworld (.....maybe)

-Mario Kart Wii

-Okami

Any others? I'm sure there are more, but I would like suggestions from long-time Wii gamers. :)

Buy games with good online multiplayer, games like goldeneye, call of Duty black Ops/Reflex and Monster Hunter Tri, also games like The Godfather and Bully are long and singleplayer only

Are the Wii communities substantial for those games, though? Is there a monthly fee for the online?

There is no fee for any of those, the communities for Monster Hunter Tri and Black Ops are massive and very active, not sure about Goldeneye though.

Games that I've played:

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Wario Land: Shake It
Kirby's Epic Yarn (may be too easy for some, though there's some challenge in some of the timed missions)
Super Paper Mario
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (short game, but has different difficulty levels to keep you coming back)
Geometry Wars Galaxies
de Blob
Klonoa
Excitebots (pretty crazy for a racing game, may not be for everybody, but I think it's a lot of fun)
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Sonic and the Secret Rings (though I know some people don't really care for the 3D Sonics, so it may not be for you)
Sonic Unleashed (same as Secret Rings, though the day levels do appeal more to fans of the older games than pretty much every other Sonic game before it, but you also have to keep the werehog levels in mind as well - Sonic Colors is supposed to have a similar structure to the day levels, but I haven't played it so I'm not putting in this list)
Trauma Center: Second Opinion (port of Under the Knife - there's also TC: New Blood and Trauma Team, but I haven't played either game)

Also, I haven't gotten far into it, so my opinion of it may not be the most informed, but from what I've played so far Muramasa: The Demon Blade is fun. Though if you get it, keep in mind that the easiest difficulty seems a bit too much like a mindless button-masher (at least from what I played of it before switching over to the normal difficulty).

You may also want to look through the list on the first page of the thread. There's a good amount of games on there which I haven't played but do look like a lot of fun.

Ok, my Goldeneye 007 online multiplayer is STILL not working and Activision is offering me ZERO solutions beyond "Did you try resetting your router?" six times. I want to trade it in for another online shooter, but am not sure whether I should go with Modern Warfare: Reflex or Call of Duty: Black Ops. Which community is more active? Which has better multiplayer?

Black Ops online is an improvement over Reflex online in almost every way, it also has a more active community.

I would definitely play 1 first. And with as cheap as both games are, not much reason not to pick them both up

2 is a general improvement over 1 in terms of gameplay, but many fans still preferred the original over the sequel. It'll be worth your while to pick them both up.

Are there any "must have" RPG's on the Virtual Console? I didn't get into RPG's until N64/PS1 era, and wondered if there were any classics I missed from the SNES that I should play now.

I would say Mario RPG (SNES) and Secret of Mana (SNES) are the must have RPGs up there.

I'm a little wary of a Mario RPG, but I'll certainly try out Secret of Mana, ty!

I really do recommentd Mario RPG too. I'm normally VERY wary of JRPGs, I find most of them silly. But Mario RPG I found to be well worth it. It's weird in a good way. If you've played Paper Mario since, you'll have an idea. It's kinda cool and different to see Mario in such a different way!

So, I'm selling my 360 + Games and buying a Wii + a s***load of games. Suggestions?

I like platforming, action-adventure, RPGs and puzzle games, mostly. I don't think anything that needs 3D realistic graphics to be good (I don't think I'd like Call of Duty on the Wii, for instance) would please me.

For platforming you should definitely go with super mario galaxy 1 & 2(can't go wrong there) action-adventue go for twilight princess, no more heroes 1 & 2 RPGs get Rune factory frontier and monster hunter tri I haven't played to many puzzle games on wii but super paper mario is great.

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy 2

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Wario Land: Shake It

Kirby's Epic Yarn (though you should note that this isn't the typical Kirby game. It's focused more on collecting things in the levels, and getting 100%. You can't diein the game, which doesn't bother me too much, but may bother you. And it leads to my biggest problem with the game - very uneven difficulty, with 5-10% beingpretty challenging, and 90% being really easy. It is still a very well designed game, if you don't mind the lack of difficulty)

Klonoa

Super Paper Mario

Muramasa: The Demon Blade (a kind of hack-and-slash game with RPG elements)

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (haven't played Step and Roll, so can't say how that is)

Mario Kart Wii (If you like arcade racing games, this one's great. Though I don't know how it compares to past games)

ExciteBots: Trick Racing (need to be a fan of arcade racing games like Mario Kart, but it's a lot crazier, and is focused more on doing random stuff during the race instead of just getting first place)

Little King's Story (Has Pikmin-styled combat, and elements of RPG and city building games. The city building elements are pretty simplistic, but help contribute to the whole "conquer the world" feeling that the game tries to present)

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (short but sweet on-rails shooter)

de Blob (Very unique platformer, where you go around coloring the city, and doing different missions. Can be a bit repetitive at times, and the levels are long, often taking an hour to complete, especially if you try to do all the missions.)

Sonic ant the Secret Rings
Sonic Unleashed (I know that the 3D Sonic games are nowhere near as liked as the 2D games, and often even hated by some people. That's why I put these games on here reluctantly. I personally enjoyed both of these games. Also, you may consider Sonic Colors, which is supposed to have more focus on the s-tyle of level that they had in Unleashed's day levels).

Trauma Center: Second Opinion (The only game from the series which I've played, and I loved it. It's such a unique game with a kind of action puzzler feel. Some operations push you to act quickly, some push you to think hard about what you're doing, and others make you do both. It can be really challenging, and even frustrating in some operations. If you like it, you should also consider getting Trauma Center: New Blood, and Trauma Team, which expands the series to other specialties and gameplay s-tyle.)

Geometry Wars: Galaxies (A great arcade space shooter. I personally prefer this one to Retro Evolved 2, because while there are some repeated ideas in the stages, most of them feel unique, and are well thought out.)

No More Heroes (I did have some problems with this, most notably with the things you do in between the main levels of the game. And it does feel a bit repetitive sometimes. But I really did enjoy this game. Especially with its great boss battles. I haven't played the second game yet, so I can't say how that is, but you may want to consider that one as well.)

@Hungry_Homer111:

Thanks for the very thorough list :]. That sums up a good part of the actual Wii titles I'm getting, along with the classic Mario games and Paper Mario/Super Paper Mario.

Also, wasn't Kirby always easy? I mean, I love his games, but I never found them to be particularly challenging.

Yeah, the Kirby games were never really known for their challenge, though Epic Yarn does take that a step further. But I mainly mentioned it because some people seem really put off by the difficulty, to the point where they didn't really care for the game. I wasn't sure how you would feel about it yourself, so I decided it would be better to warn you in case you were put off by easier games.

@BlueWord I'm going to be getting SMG's as my first purchase, along with TLoZ: TP. Quite a few games to get, indeed :/.

Don't Forget about Arc Rise Fantasia!! A beautiful JRPG, awesome story, entertaining characters, bosses that are a challenge. Definitely a MUST-HAVE for JRPG fans especially if you enjoyed The Tales series.

Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands should be right up your alley, but the Wii is not the system you want if RPGs are your thing.

I've never actually played any of the Tales' games, but I'll take a look into it. I like artsy JRPGS, like Eternal Sonata and the such. I'm definitely going to look at this "The Last Story" game, however. That seems nice.

I should've bolded and put it in large letters: what I really want now is platformers and more casual games (not that I believe in the "hardcore" concept). Mario, Zeldas, Brawl, and other games that are a bit different than what I've been playing the last years: Gears of War, Halo, Forza, shooters, simulators, etc..

New Super Mario Bros is a must, as is Donkey Kong Country Returns, truly two of the most fun games I've played this generation. Sid Meier's Pirates! is a very fun game but its more "hardcore" I guess you could say. Sonic Colors is a good one as is No More Heroes 1 & 2. Red Steel 2 is a FPS but I guarantee you won't have played ANYTHING like it on your old console. Tatsunoko vs Capcom is a really good 2d fighting game, and with the wiimote sideways control style its VERY easily accessible like Brawl while giving an entirely different kind of fighting experience. Zack and Wiki is a very good puzzle/adventure game and its VERY cheap now, its the next game im going to add to my library.

If you like you can take a look at my owned games list in my profile, I've got 23 games and have tried to get a pretty diverse collection of games, maybe you'll find something in there that interests you!
