Wii-Hidden Gems

[prfsnl_gmr]

No list of "hidden" gems for the wii on a site dedicated to classic gaming would be complete without references to Ocean Commander, Heavenly Guardian, Sam & Max, and Impossible Mission.

Maybe too early for a hidden gems list? Although, pretty much every good game for the Wii besides Zelda and Mario Galaxy can be considered "hidden gems", since most everyone is only buying shit like Carnival Games

Speed Racer (no joke), Dokapon Kingdom, and Mercury Meltdown Revolution. I haven't played these next few, but I think they might fall into this category and are on my want list. I'm not that versed in Wiiware, so most of these are disc based releases.

I'm sure there are more. This isn't a complete list or anything. I know the genres might be a little mixed up, but it's 4 AM and I don't care. Monster Lab seems especially cool and might be the next one I pick up... in case you were wondering.

I actually thought the game Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy was really fun.

wario ware smooth moves was a good one, along with super paper mario, and i personally liked red steel. they could have done alot better with red steel i think, more weapons, better controls, etc, but wasn't bad for one of the systems first releases.

I haven't played it, but De Blob has been talked about and isn't yet listed in this thread.

World of Goo is WiiWare right?

Ghost Squad really doesn't get enough credit. It's an amazingly deep gun-game and has a very cool difficulty system where the game adds more missions and tougher challenges as you get better(plus you can level up and get new weapons/costumes).

Also Ultimate Shooter Collection is worth it for Radilgy and Karous, while Shikigami No Shiro 3 ain't bad at all.
