Still disagree about MadWorld.
It's worth playing, if only for the solid soundtrack and John DiMaggio (aka: Bender) as an in-game commentator. Not going to change your world, and you might not go back for repeat plays unless you like old-school brawlers... but for $5-10 you get a couple hours of decent gameplay and a bunch of laughs.
It's also a notable Wii exclusive and a divisive title - for everyone who bags on the game, someone else loves it. Given the low cost, seems worth taking a risk on just to form your own opinion.
I do agree that No More Heroes is better - although that game has it's own problems, such as an open world that is virtually empty and largely undocumented bike controls forcing you to experiment if you want that part of the game to have any entertainment value. (Maybe that second point is a feature?)

I'm sure the experience is completely different actually playing it of course... but I dunno. I'd rather wait for PSO2 for something that seems similar to what I saw of Monster Hunter, haha...
Monster Hunter is a weird game. It starts off really slow, and never looks like much when you are watching others play. People who get sucked into the combat and weapon systems and loot drops often spend hundreds of hours with the game though - so it's worth checking out just in case you do get caught up in the game.
Still one of the best Wii exclusives and probably the best showcase of online play for the console. (Honestly, I'm not sure if the second part is a good selling point though. There is still no useful voice chat and you never know how long servers will stay active.)
I was browsing around for more last night myself, what do you guys think of the Klonoa remake? It looked really cool. And how about Wario Land Shake It? Looks interesting.
I hadn't played Klonoa before and really enjoyed the experience on Wii. Apparently gameplay and story hasn't changed, so it's just a graphical upgrade? Still a solid game for platform fans years after the first release. Not sure if it's worth tracking down if you have played (or own) the original.
Wario Land looks great, has interesting level design, and is fun to play... but the game is dead easy to beat unless you want to get all the in-game achievements and secrets. If you do try to find and unlock everything then the game becomes much more interesting and challenging - so recommending it depends in part on your personal gaming habits.
If you like Wario Land then it might be worth checking out A Boy and his Blob also. The game is charming and has beautiful graphics. Gameplay is puzzle/platforming. It's another case of a game that ends up being a bit too easy, but tries to make up for that with style.
