List: Best 30 Wii Games plus Ghost Squad (10 years from now)

[isiolia]

I know I'm in the minority, but TrackMania would be easily be in my top 25, or possibly top 10. The driving is very arcadey, but the controls are spot on.

The puzzle mode is a neat concept as well, challenging you to get from point A to point B in a certain number of tries or time limit.

Also the fact of having 6 different car classes with different speed and handling characteristics keeps the racing fresh.

Add in 4 player simultaneous, or an alternating "hot seat" mode where you compete for best time, plus a track creator mode, and you have hours upon hours of play.

Main thing I'd consider with that one is that the series is primarily a PC one. The Wii version is limited by comparison, and there have been newer entries on the PC already. As nice as the Wii version may be, it wouldn't strike me as one for a short list of must-haves on the platform.

If Sonic Colors doesn't make it to the top 25 you're all crazy.

I don't know. Being the first good Sonic game since the 16-bit era doesn't necessarily mean it is one of the Top 25 Wii games. If Generations had come out for the Wii, I'd put that there easily.

I've taken the word (series) off of Trauma Team and No More Heroes. It seems that most mentions would always have "no more heroes 1 and 2" so...not having played them, I have no idea if one is better than the other and there doesn't seem to be much clarification other than some list them both, some list neither...

We are getting close:

Sonic Colors - yes or no
Fire Emblem - yes or no
New Super Mario Bros - yes or no
Super Smash Bros Wii - yes or no
Metroid other M - yes or no
Muramasa - yes or no
A Boy and His Blob - yes or no
Endless Ocean Blue World - yes or no
Mario Galaxy 1 AND 2 - yes or no
Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort
No More Heroes or No More Heroes 2
RE 4 or Ghost Squad

Mine:

No love for Ultimate Shooting Collection 2 after that long post?

Oh, I wasn't aware of this. I do zero PC gaming outside of using my laptop for shmups on MAME. Seeing as how there are superior ports or later versions are better, then I understand.

I just know IMO, it is a great racing title compared to most of the other offerings on the console.

Wait, what happened to Epic Yarn? I thought that was a lock for the top 25 a few days ago

Sonic Colors - No
Fire Emblem - NA
New Super Mario Bros - yes
Super Smash Bros Wii - yes
Metroid other M - yes
Muramasa - no
A Boy and His Blob - no
Endless Ocean Blue World - Definitely
Mario Galaxy 1 AND 2 - Yes, both
Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort - Wii Sports Resort
No More Heroes or No More Heroes 2 - whichever
RE 4 or Ghost Squad - RE 4 if I must choose one of them

[foxhound1022]

Sonic Colors - No
Fire Emblem - Haven't played it, but liked Path of Radiance
NSMB Wii - Yes
SSBB - Yes
Muramasa - Yes
A Boy and His Blob - Haven't played it
Endless Ocean: BW - Haven't played it
SMG 1&2 - Both are unique enough to be included, IMO
NMH 1 or 2 - Hmm... I'd have to say 2 if I had to choose.
Wii Sports or WSR - I personally liked WSR more
GS or RE 4 - RE 4 since I never played GS

Also, I think that Ultimate Shooting Collection 2 is a very good choice, but also very niche, since it is a shmup compilation. I like the 1st one since it is a much more accessible avenue for me to play those titles, but I think you'd be hard pressed to get a majority of the crowd here to agree to its inclusion.
