Link's Crossbow training seems to be to the Wii what Chu Chu Rocket was to the Dreamcast, that perenially cheap as chips game that people neglect to add to their collection aolmost because of the absurdly low price. In the UK I see it all the time in used games stores usually for less than £2 complete...yet for some reason I've never handed over any money for it either.

It's not the deepest game, but it is very well-crafted. I beat it in one sitting, but I enjoyed my time with it. Moreover, I come back to it with some frequency, indicating that it is a good, old-fashioned arcade game )in "Legend of Zelda" trappings).

I enjoyed my first foray into it also - but never owned it myself. Plus it can go with my other wii accessories like the fishing resort rod and the ea hockey stick.

I understand that online play might be a problem (any lag would be a problem) but Nintendo platforms don't always bother to offer online anyway so I don't consider that a sticking point. It doesn't seem like ChuChu Rocket would be that complicated to put together, and there was a wealth of single-player content from the GBA release that could be brought across.

Truly an under appreciated gem. Much like Link's Crossbow Training. (See, kind of on topic.)
It was remade.......for smart phones and tablets....which actually works better than the dreamcast version when you think about it. If anything, they should re-release it on the Wii-U. What with the Touch Screen and all.

It was also released on GBA. The controls took some getting used to, but there was exponentially more content than the dreamcast version

Rounded out some of "to get" list of late:

Mario Sports Mix
Mario Strikers Charged
Gunblade NY and LA Machine guns
Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles
Resident Evil: Umbrella chronicles

Primary ones left I'm after are Klonoa and Castle of Shigimia III. Also added WarioWare Smooth Moves to this list.

Guy was selling Wii Games 2 for $5 at the fleas the other day they were mostly sports and party games but they were all complete and in really good shape so I picked up a few that I thought would be fun with motion controls..

Rec Room Games
Bakugan Battle Brawler
MLB Power Pros(Really interesting little baseball game developed by Konami)
Game Party
Carnival Games
Block Party
Carnival Mini Golf

Also picked up Froger Adventures The Rescue for Gamecube.

Is Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles the only Wii game that doesn't have "Wii" on the spine? I found this incredibly peculiar.

It is a misprint. Many copies of the game are missing "Wii" on the spine, but some do have it. As far as I can tell, Capcom did not spend a lot of time QCing case art for Wii games...
