Nintendo Wii MEGATHREAD!

[Stompy]

Those are very cheap prices for great games. I highly reccomend Mario Galaxy and No More Heroes. Super Paper Mario is ok. But it's a little tepid and not a scratch on The Thousand Year Door on Gamecube. Even the N64 Paper Mario that is available on the Virtual Console is a good start.

Speaking of VC. Make sure to check out Megaman 9 and Lost Winds.

i though mario galaxy was fair meh. so repetitive. but hey thats just me
i would recomend smash bros. lots of replayability, but then again i never play my wii these days

To be honest I don't really like the Wii's, they are fun in a group kind of thing, like singstar or buzz etc, but when I'm by myself I'd much rather play PS2/3 or PC, even N64, but thats just me..

I thought Mario Galaxy was good at the start but yeah as Blackie said, gets pretty repetitive...

Super Smash Bros is a great game, loved it when I first played it on the N64, and love the Wii version nowadays

I was thinking of grabbing 2 Wii point cards.
They are usually 1000points for $15, so 4000 for $50 is a pretty good deal. Saves about 10 bucks.

If you can, buy Wii points directly online, EB and JB sell the cards for $35 for 2000 points, whereas you can get 3000 for $45 online.

I loved Galaxy, it's a fun game thats gets slightly more difficult as the game progresses, and collecting those purple stars is a right royal pain.
For multiplayer you cant go past Brawl, MarioKart and Warioware.

I also recommend hunting down Excite Truck, that is one of my top 3 racing games, I'm forever going back and playing it again.

Hehe. Especially Luigi's Purple Coins!

Don't forget to add Boom Blox, Wii Sports and Ghost Squad.

Excite Truck is awesome. You spend more time in the air than on the ground. Especially when you throw in an SD card filled with your favorite tunes to race with.

Speaking of lesser known games. Try out:
- No More Heroes
- Battalion Wars 2
- Fire Emblem
- Metroid Prime: Corruption
- Zack & Wiki
- De Blob

And since this is a Transformer site can I recomend a couple of Gamecube games since they can be played on the Wii:

- Gotcha Force: full of robots and includes Transforming ones and Combiners. My favorite Gamecube game!

Transforming mechs at 1:55. Man I love this game so much!

Triple Changer at the start!

- DreamMix TV World Fighters: a Smash Bros clone featuring characters from Konami (Simon Belmont, Solid Snake), Hudson (Bomberman) and Takara (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Microman).

Keep an eye out for Devastator in one of the backgrounds.

I don't think DreamMix TV World Fighters was released outside of Japan was it? Don't forget there are various intricacies involved in playing imported GCN titles on Wii!
