With the Wii now 99% done, what were your favorite games?

My whole goddamn collection.

Seriously. Love that console to death.

Why is Castle Shikigami III better on the Wii than on the 360?

It's not. But it only came out in the US on the Wii.

I know SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1 was best on the Wii, which other SNK comps fared better on the Wii than the PS2? I love the Wii gamepad for those Ng ports except for having to plug it into a wiimote.

It's nice to have this window where we can look back at the Wii with the accuracy of hindsight, without nostalgia yet blurring the view. Right now, I'd rank this generation (2006-2012 for the PC) as PS3 > PC > Wii > 360. I used to consider the Wii as my least favorite, but the fact is that it's got more good exclusives than the 360. The awkward weakness of the hardware forced game devs to create different games for the Wii than the other three.

And I can't imagine using Wii as a Netflix box. The PS3 has always seemed like a natural fit for a multimedia entertainment device.

I would say PS3 > 360 > Wii. But the Wii's library is still growing on me. Could easily leapfrog over the rest eventually. And the 360 can't be on top simply because I only use it for shmups.

Xbox has Gears though.. Regardless of what people think, it's a great series..

It is, but the only other great series you can only play on 360 is Halo.

Out of personal preference and research, I believe that the 360 was, up until recently, better than the PS3 for multiplats. Thus, why I own a 360. Multiplats, shmups, and GEARS!

Back on topic...my picks for the "best" Wii games - not including ports like Okami and Resident Evil 4 - include:

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaro's Treasure
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Punch Out!!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Wii Sports

There are lots of other great games for the system (LoZ: Twilight Princess, Kirby's Epic Yarn, NSMBW, etc.), and I have a significant Wii backlog. These games, however, are my personal favorites (and Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite games on any console).
