The only games on Wii that I'm pretty disappointed to not have already are Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Silent Hill.

I was interested in The Calling, but the price has skyrocketed, so what little interest I had has disappeared.

Endless Ocean is actually pretty cool. The only problem is it's a lot better coop, and that won't exist for much longer.

Arc Rise Fantasia on PS2, I believe, is the superior version. From what I've been told, anyway.

Not just a list, but how about a review as well as info on undocumented features to make the game even better. With all the recent Wii game discoveries, I 'll have to start adding to my Wii Guide; the OP is indexed. :idea:

Ah, sorry. I was thinking of Sakura Wars. The covers seem so similar to me, I get them confused sometimes >_>

I'm surprised to see Ju-On: The Grudge selling for around $40 on Ebay and Calling for almost $70 - though it is nice to see some horror games getting some love with collectors. I have a feeling the Wii library is going to be full of sleeper hits like these...

Actually passed up a complete copy of The Calling the other day at gamestop for $17 :P. It's still sitting in the store according to there site so I might grab it this weekend if I go up that way.

The cheapest complete copy for The Calling is $54 shipped between amazon and eBay. Cheapest complete Ju-on is $42 shipped over at amazon. I believe the fact that pure horror based games are kind of a rarity for consoles. I mean sure we have The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Dead Space, and etc. but they also have alot of action mixed in.

I think the Nintendo selects are definitely games people should pick up. Not only because there some of the best games for the wii but I see these games are going up in price also. Too bad America did get the other Nintendo select games like Japan and Europe got

I wouldn't say the game itself is better. But for those who must have voice-overs in Japanese the PS2 version is a must. I have both and I can't tell a difference.

It's pretty weird. Only we got both versions. No Wii for Japan, no PS2 for Europe.
PAL users missed Japanese voiceover. :lol:
Lum fan.
