Wii Game Recommendation Thread

I've got a question about Dead Space: Extracton.

I have the original Dead Space for PS3, and my girlfriend loves it. However, she really doesn't know how to use the dualshock because she's never gamed before and so she's resigned to watching me play it. Now that I have a Wii, I really want to get DS:E for her to play... is it easier to play control-wise than Dead Space? I'm hoping since it's on rails she can pick it up easily.

Any help is appreciated

Great! I felt so bad watching her walk into corners pointed straight up trying to figure out the controls. Thanks for the input!

Does somebody knows a Co-op Phantasy Star-like game... That plays offline, Monster Hunter Tri had do the trick, but you can't level up the offline multiplayer.Supersegs

There are too many good deals, I don't know where to go!

I did hear a lot of acclaim for a Boy and his Blob.

Hows everyone enjoying Epic Mickey? I saw it at the shop today.. wasn't sure whether to get it or not. Does it have a similar feel to Banjo Kazooie?

Help me pick two out of these three:

Sonic Colors

Epic Mickey

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Already grabbed up Goldeneye, DKC Returns and waited with the patience of Job for NBA Jam (360) for the sake of HD and online play.

I'm leaning heavily towards Sonic and Mickey and want someone who has Kirby to try to sell me on it... Stick up for your favorites and help me out so I have no regrets!

Edit: Just got done reading the reviews for Epic Mickey on metacritic and it sounds like the controls are busted. Definitely could be swayed to pick up KEY now.

Thanks! I'll definitely go with KEY and Sonic. My interest in Mickey was due to the hype and visuals. With all the reviews that say the controls are broken it gets to a point where it's more of a fact than opinion.

so how exactly does black ops fare on the wii?

What are some good, local 4-player games on the Wii besides Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and New Super Mario Bros. (since I already have them)?

I am looking for a realistic racing simulator with deep customization options. Not interested in games which feature illegal activites like fleeing from the police ala Need For Speed. Are there any such games available for Wii?

I'm getting a Wii for christmas, what game(s) should I get for it! I am thinking about Epic Mickey and Super Mario Galaxy 2, I already have Super Smash Brothers: Brawl and Animal Crossing: Wild World because I already have a broken Wii.o0Pwnzorz0o

so far she's been slowly getting into with me.

I want games that are playable co-op style or 2 players simultaneously. Nothing deathmatch style, as I'd be sure to win every time, but sports and family games where she's on equal footing as me even though she's a beginning gamer.Neoprimal

I know exactly what you mean, I am moving in with my soon-to-be fiance here in not too long and I wanted to find games that we could enjoy together as shes not really a gamer.

Here is what I found that interested us! Hopefully something catches your eye.

Lego Harry Potter(All of the Lego ____ games have really fun co-op thats really easy to pick up for beginners)

Lego Indiana Jones

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Adventures

Wii Party(Party game, based on reviews it seems to be better quality than Mario Party 8)

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Ghostbusters(Very fun co-op)

Excitebots: Trick Racing(You mentioned Mario Kart, and aside from Mario Kart Wii this should be a nice alternative if you want something different to race together on)

Epic Mickey looks pure awesome. Don't listen to the snobby Gamespot review. As for Super Mario Galaxy 2, you can't go wrong with that title. Played that one for 54 hours!

Wii Sports: Resort features 12 games to choose from. The graphics are very cartoonish, and I'd reccomend it. It's a great game for the whole family to play or with friends."

Is Sonic Colors worth it? The advertisements looks really cool, and the graphics look really cartoonish and stylish, but I'm not sure if I want this game. Anybody on here know if it is worth it?

I have a 1000 points left for the Virtual Console and Wiiware and I was looking for a Castlevania game. Witch one should I get? Rebirth looks cool and so does Super Castlevania IV and Rondo of Blood..... and the classic Nes ones as well......

I really don't know :s

Game is worth it. Best Sonic game since Adventure series.

Game is REALLY fun, and definitely a challenge, the visuals are really nice too, the starlight carnival levels in particular are eye popping

I'm looking for a platformer game like Super Mario Sunshine. I'd prefer it to be a Mario name game too. Anyone have suggestions? It can be on the Gamecube or Wii.plantation11

I'm sure you must have heard of Super Mario Galaxy1 and 2? Sunshine was what inspired these 2 titles which are gonna be the closest thing to sunshine you could get. You could also download on VC super mario 64 which goes even further back. Essentially they're all alike. SMG 1 and 2 being, imo as well as many others i'm sure, better.

I do:

Either get:

Castlevania and Castlevania 3 for the NES (Two is not great)

or

Super Castlevania IV (Remake of the original Castlevania)

Metroid: Other M or Donkey Kong Country Returns?

One of metroid: other m's big complaints is lack of replayability.

Donkey Kong Country Returns is being praised for its replayability.

I would go with DKCR
