I have these on my wishlist, so some of the task's already done:


    Disney Epic Mickey
    Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo
    Mario Kart
    Mario Strikers Charged Football
    New Super Mario Brothers
    Resident Evil 4
    Sonic and the Secret Rings
    Super Mario Galaxy 1
    Super Mario Galaxy 2
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl
    Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Ultimate All Stars
    The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
    The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun
    Zack & Wiki Quest for Barbaro's Treasure

    As of now, I have Sonic Colours and MadWorld but looking to get DB Revenge of King Piccolo, as I'm a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise (and the games themselves). And also, Super Smash Bros & New Super Mario Bros, these two are a must for Wii.

    Thanks, all!

The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Pandora's Tower.

That Guy from Faxanadu

Boom Blox: Bash Party is definitly a hidden gem! The new Punch Out is great too.

Muramasa should be on there!


Very interesting, a 2D platform game with swords.

Wow, must say, superb picks. Thank you for these recommendations of Wii quality games.

Not sure about these ones for me, though, motion gaming is something I'd prefer to avoid and focus on controller games (although I suspect some will require some kind of motion thingy).

And for that, I have Kinect, which isn't perfect but it does a pretty good job of tracking the body and being accurate.

Great another one for the list to purchase later!

If I hadn't asked you guys, I might've never found these Wii games between all the shovelware crap that it has.

Wii's full of surprises.  :P

Gunblade NY and L.A. Machineguns (same disk) also more fun with a gun attachment

I wish they had brought more arcade rail shooters to the wii

The Hand Cannon is the best officially licensed but I had to order it from the UK not sold in the states

A few more Wii games I like:
Fortune/Boom Street (Itadaki Street Wii)
Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Tower of Shadow ("Lost in Shadow" or "A Shadow's Tale")

Not too hidden, but Warioland Shake It! is an awesome 2D platformer. Lot's of hidden secrets to keep you coming back for more.  :coin: :coin:

This looks top notch, I saw a Wii gun attachment, think it was this:



Its price was one pound, but it looked so cheap I couldn't bring myself to even pay that much. Instead bought a holder for Wiimote/Nunchuck which came with plastic protector.

Has to be an import, since toy guns in the US all have bright orange tips.  Looks like the guns Konami made for Lethal Enforcers years ago (http://i.imgur.com/ACfKOAm.jpg).

I have two Nyko Perfect Shots (link) for playing House of the Dead 2 & 3.  I also bought a copy of Cabela's Big Game Hunter (2010, link) just so I could use the rifle controller in House of the Dead 3.  It's not perfect since you have to hold down the B trigger the whole time (iirc), but it's still pretty satisfying and a little bit truer to the arcade experience.

Yeah it came with House of the Dead or you can purchase it separate

I've really impressed with the design  very sturdy nice rubber grip

I wish lightguns were cool like there were in the mid to late 80s.

Compare that white hand cannon shell with the Sega Light Phaser.



This kid is rad.
