If Mario and the gang aren't your thing, perhaps you should reconsider. Sure, there are some great exclusive titles for the Wii, like No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki, Boom Blox, and um.... okay, there aren't that many.

Most of the best stuff on the Wii are made by Nintendo. If you don't see yourself enjoying games like Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, or Zelda, you're not going to enjoy it nearly as much if you did.

You may appreciate the exclusive titles being released through WiiWare though, the equivalent to Live Arcade.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl *Technically isn't a "Mario" game and a must have for any Wii owner*

No More Heroes *To fuel that murderous intent hidden deep within your soul:)*

Mario Kart Wii *PLEASE!!!! BUY THIS GAME!!!!!*

Sorry, but I MUST mention these GREAT titles as well:):

Super Mario Galaxy *Addicting*

Metroid Prime 3 *Bad ass*

The Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess *Epic*

Wii Sports *Comes with your Wii system I may add:)*

Thrid Parties, just to name a few:

Okami *The GREAT PS2 game that got overlooked years ago, and now released again with Wii controls! AWESOME!!!!!:)*

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition *Use of the Wii Remote makes this an INSTANT grab and SUCCESSFUL game!!!! Plus it has ALL the PS2 exclusives and the BADASS GameCube visuals!!! Can't beat it!!!! AFFORDABLE!!!!!:)*

Resident Evil: Umbrella Cronicles

Upcoming, just to name a few:

Disaster: Day of Crisis

Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World *You MUST PLAY the first one on GameCube before you play this!!! You have enough time:)*

The Conduit *A FPS being built from the ground up to take FULL advantage of the Wii's capabilities*

Wii60 is the only way to go the generation.

I would have to say I reccommend it.

You should always buy a Nintendo console for the first party stuff and if it doesn't interest you then you shouldn't get a Wii.

Of course, if you're into the violent types of games, there are more and more coming out. I think it's called Mad World or something? But, it's super violent and 3rd party, but the mario, and zelda, and etc. really are good games even I don't really care for Metroid or Zelda.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, FOSyay:)

I say No More Heroes is a GREAT pick. If you have murderous intent and need that quenched...play No More Heroes.

I think this really has to do with what you like to play.I'm a wii60 owner and both machines get alot of attention.Of course I'm also 32 years old ,and when I was a kid nintendo was really theonly option, so I'm kind of attached to all the old nintedo IP's.The virtual console was alot of the reason I got the wii as well,for the same reason. So if you're open minded and don't think you're to hardcore for a nintendo system go for it .Sure the graphics aren't as good as the competition.But nitendo more than made up for it with innovation(and before anyone says nintendo didn't invent motion control,I know that.But they were the first to get it in to my house ,so they win)).Anyway I love my wii,but I'm also a total whore for Zelda,mario,metroid and all the classic nintendo titles.So if you're not into nintendos brand of awesome the wii might not be for you.But i guarantee if you give it a chance it will only serve to broaden you're gaming experience.Plus since my 360's going off for repair tomorrow I'm damn glad ive got my wii right now.

The only reason to get a Nintendo system is for those games. It looks like your looking for an awesome 3rd party market my friend, the Wii however is not it.

Since they haven't been mentioned, both the third installment of the Monster Hunter [main] series and fourth installment of the Fatal Frame series will be Wii exclusives.
