Hey everyone!
It's been a while since I wrote a blog, hope people still remember me:P
If you saw my previous entries, I was posting lists of Top games by console. My goal was to cover all systems by the end of last year, which of course didn't happen. And I'm sad to say I'm leaving GS very soon so I have no time to make all those big blogs and prediction games...
So I will rush the whole process and post a simple version of each list, starting with the 4 Nintendo systems I was missing.
First, here is a recap of the lists so far:

And now, my Top 30 Wii Games (so far):
#30. The Conduit
Reason: Great multiplayer, and a good attempt at something no one wanted to do for the Wii.
#29. SoulCalibur Legends
Reason: Nothing like the normal SC, but it was still a fun game for me, with some of the best characters and stages in the series.
#28. FIFA Soccer 08-12
Reason: While at first I hated the Wii controls in FIFA, I got used to them and realized that it's great to play with friends, and the Wii versions have a few modes the other consoles don't.
#27. Metroid: Other M
Reason: Good graphics, good controls and excellent gameplay in some parts.
#26. Excitebots: Trick Racing
Reason: Epic, crazy and different racing game with tons of content and nice overall design.
#25. Sonic Unleashed
Reason: Impressive sound and graphics, nice story and to be honest, I loved the werehog levels :D.
#24.Super Paper Mario
Reason: Interesting Mario RPG, although not the best of them.
#23. Need for Speed Carbon
Reason: Exciting street races and excellent gameplay overall.
#22. Sonic and the Secret Rings
Reason: Fast-paced Sonic game with well-designed levels and awesome multiplayer minigames.
#21. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Reason: If I remember well, some sports were boring but others were a blast and you could play them in various forms. It also features a bunch of characters including Yoshi and Shadow :cool:.
#20. Mario Party 8
Reason: Same as every Mario Party, fun minigames, plenty of game modes and all the craziness of the Mario crew...
#19. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
Reason: Good visuals, more and more entertaining sports along with new fantasy events (or something like that).
#18. Wii Sports
Reason: A must have for Wii owners (literally:P) and a collection of 5 sports that are very enjoyable with family and friends and use the Wii controls very well.
#17. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Reason: An exclusive 2D fighting game, great online, great character designs and wonderful battle system.
#16. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Reason: It's like most WarioWare games, funny, simple and outstanding in almost every aspect.
#15. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Reason: From what I played so far, it has a fantastic story, amazing soundtrack and a lengthy quest so it can still go up in my list.
#14. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
Reason: Well, it's a really fun and good-looking action game, inevitably one of my favorites.
#13. Red Steel 2
Reason: A pleasant surprise (for me at least), improving the first game in every way possible, with some of the best controls on the system, superb sword fighting and decent first-person shooting.
#12. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Reason: The best horror adventure title, on the Wii. The story, settings, characters and action are incredible.
#11. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Reason: Old-school Mario with new elements, Yoshi, perfect difficulty, good sound, multiplayer, Yoshi and brilliant level design.
#10. No More Heroes
Reason: Funny and unique title featuring badass characters, cool bosses and addictive combat.
#09. Wii Sports Resort
Reason: Seven more sports than the last one, 100% better controls, lots of things to do in each sport and a beautiful island setting make for an unbelievably simple but exciting game for all ages.
#08. Donkey Kong Country Returns
Reason: 2D platforming at its best, lots of variety, fine visuals, sound, control, length and characters.
#07. Punch-Out!!
Reason: Another cIassic series resurrected in the Wii, perfect combination of boxing and strategy, memorable fighters, challenge that keeps growing until the end, fun multiplayer, and more.
#06. Mario Strikers Charged
Reason: The best unrealistic sports game... by far. Not only is the presentation and single player experience worth it, but online modes add value and addictiveness.
#05. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Reason: Because everything that NMH1 lacked was taken care of in this one with even more bosses to defeat, an even better story, more fantastic minigames, very awesome scenes and in-game action.
#04. Mario Kart Wii
Reason: My favorite Mario Kart thanks to the wii wheel, bikes, 12 players in a race, online features, all combined into an unforgettable game experience.
#03. Super Mario Galaxy
Reason: It's an almost perfect running and jumping adventure in space, I think all of you know that by now:P
#02. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Reason: Honestly, it was too hard to choose between the two Mario Galaxies. 2 is like an immense expansion to the first one with tons of new stuff and different elements... and Yoshi!
#01. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Reason: Sweet graphics and animations, the best soundtrack you will ever find in a game, flawless controls with lots of options, the most iconic characters from each series, final smashes, story mode, trophies, demos of old games, online (which is the only part I think could have been better), and just too much quality and hours of fun, like a fighting game should be.
