Best Game for Wii ?

Post by NathanBarnatt »

So I only have Excite Truck. Any other suggestions? Hows the latest Zelda? Is it simialr to Mario 64 in a way? I like those types of role playing games. Action RPGs.

I haven't played my zelda yet but have heard only good things. Smash bros and mario kart are must owns. Wii fit is a fun workout/quick play in the morning.

Super Mario Galaxy of course, Zelda was really good, also SSBB. I also enjoyed Super Paper Mario, and Metroid Prime 3 was great too.

Zelda is pretty good. Mad World was pretty damn awesome. Zak and Wiki was a pretty cool adventure title. Mario Kart is a blast. Just stay away from that damn Wii fit exercise and gaming are an unholy alliance no good can come of it!

Wario Land Shake It! is also a lot of fun, albeit a bit short.

Another vote for Zelda and Super Paper Mario. Both of those games are awesome. Another great game is Resident Evil 4, even if you've played it on another system it's at least worth a try on the wii.

I'm going to have to be a dissenter for a moment though, and say that you should avoid Mario Kart, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. It's not nearly as good and it has replaced a lot of the skill of the previous installments with pure luck. It's decently fun if you play with people at exactly your skill level, but as soon as people figure out the tricks it loses a lot of its fun. I'd say that excitetruck/bots are probably the best kart-ish racing games on the wii.

If you liked any of the other 3D Zeldas you will like this one. Mario Galaxy is like Mario 64 but better, so once again if you enjoyed 64 you should get Galaxy. Similarly you should pick up Mario Kart if you enjoyed previous entries. I have to disagree with Lokkenjawz's assessment. I honestly don't feel the luck factor is any worse that previous entries (with the possible exception of the original Super Mario Kart). I used to frequently play online with coworkers, and it was very consistent that the better people (namely, me) would end up winning the GPs overall. My coworkers were quick to pick up on the tricks I would use, including esoteric ones like riding the halfpipe boosts, but since I still had better fundamentals of turning and squeezing out boosts and extra wheelies I would maintain my status as champion, though the matches were still hard fought.

Super Paper Mario is interesting; it's a platformer with RPG elements. The emphasis is pretty heavy on the platforming compared to the other two Paper Mario games.

Trauma Center is a fantastic game that will quickly get you addicted. And WarioWare Smooth Moves is just entertainingly silly and fun. And seems like something you could easily do a video on.
