Jay? I know a boy at school whose name is Vahjay. The teachers had a chuckle over that. Why am I bringing this up? I don't know!
Great list so far
The original No More Heroes better be included in that Jay dude's top 10. NMH2, what a turd that was. Still leaves a sour taste in my mouth...
I never made it through NMH2. I got through the first two or three bosses, but for some reason I lost interest despite really enjoying it. I just think everything that I needed out of the series was taken care of in the original game. If by chance Wii games ever come out on the Wii U VC, I'll probably grab a copy of it and give it another shot.

I never played NMH2. How different is it compared to the first?
Donkey Kong Country Returns certainly gave Galaxy 2 a run for its money for best platformer of 2010. That game was incredible. When you look at this list, you notice how many more awesome exclusives Nintendo has compared to the others.

That's the only reason they survive. If they didn't, they would be super fucked.
I don't know whether to be disgusted LKS is so low, or pleased Zack and Wiki is so high.

LKS is lucky to have been printed, let alone to be included on a list that doesn't begin with "games that should only be used as drink coasters."
Good list. You need to play Trauma Center at some point though. Also, not a single piece of WiiWare?? Lot of good stuff on there that deserved a spot on the lower end of the list (or higher numbers or whatever...)
I have Trauma Center, but like a million others, I haven't gotten to it yet.
Fantastic choices for 1-5.
A ridiculous amount of the Wii's best games came out in 2007. That was by far its best year...I mean its not even close.
As with MP2, I got stuck somewhere in 3 and just gave up. They're really good games, but I couldn't bother with travelling a whole world to search for some extra life or missiles just so I could get past one bottleneck.
I would have went for Metroid Prime Trilogy instead of Metroid Prime 3 but that is cheating since it is 3 games that use the Wii Remote perfectly against 1 game.

Very different. They got rid of the city hub altogether, minijobs are now 8-bit style single screen affairs, and instead of cool assassin bosses to fight, over half of them are freaks who probably never got paid to kill anyone in the first place and in no way fit into the fiction. There are only 2 bosses I would consider to be in the same league as those of NMH, and they were both incredibly easy.
I should really replay NMH again someday. Such a great game.

The PS3 version of No More Heroes added some of the boss fights from No More Heroes 2 which you can fight in a dream when you save at your house after beating one of the assassins.

Scratch that. I meant Trauma Team, not Center. Though Trauma Team is good too.

-1.
Oh well, the bigger injustice is MP3 at 1 anyway.

Endless Ocean Blue World is awesome, more people should play it. You have no idea how they improved it over the original. It's more like a 60 hour underwater RPG with missions, a story etc. Blue World turned EO into a AAA level game while EO1 was more of an experience.
The Nintendo Wii......what a bizarre little creature. It wasn't really the console any of us were expecting. It was much too focused on casual non gamers for my liking, and wasn't anywhere near the level of tech I would have liked. But, it had Nintendo making games for it.
That alone assured it was going to end up having some of the best games ever. Here now, is my Top 25....of which it was actually kind of hard coming up with that many so bear with me.
Good game, didn't feel as well made as the original. Wii controls tacked on.
Actually a pretty solid version of the game. Obviously the visuals don't look like the 360 version, but it controls surprisingly well and is one of the better looking Wii games.
Boom Blox was one of the best ideas thought up for the Wii controller.
Still haven't played this...but GG swears by it so I'm sure it deserves a spot!
RS2 was a much better game than the original, though in a totally different setting. Some of the best controls ever for the Wii controller.
Not as good as Path of Radiance on the Gamecube, but still a quality effort worth playing. Gets stupidly hard at the end.
A game a bit rough around the edges, but it had so much charm and it reminded me of something from the Super Nintendo days. Would like to see a sequel.
Always felt this game got WAAAAY overrated on the PS2 because Sony fans needed to feel like they had a better Zelda than Nintendo fans. Its still a solid game though, and the Wii version just feels right with its Zelda style and unique controls. The game is still a good 10 hours longer than it needs to be though. Fun Fact: Ported by the guys making The Order 1886 for PS4.
I actually need to go back and finish this. Fun game and really unique.
This game was a blast...I'd like to replay it at some point. Mixes the RPG series with more platforming to great results. I really wish Intelligent Systems focused more on home consoles.
Great game this was....combining the crazy Suda 51's style with some actual good gameplay. The boss fights are the highlight.
Another great Sakaguchi RPG alongside Lost Odyssey, the man is a god even without Square behind him. Great game. This game actually pushes the Wii pretty hard.
Outside of the silly story, Other M....silly name too, had some great gameplay and a terrific world to explore. I feel its underrated.
What a great game this was. Kudos to the guys who made it, impressive how they brought back such an old game and made it feel relevent again. Only thing missing is Tyson.
I had not played one of these in years, so I had a blast with MK Wii. Tons of content and stuff to do. Fuck, I need Mario Kart 8.
TOP TEN INTERMISSION TIME!!!
.....Whoa...get your minds out of the gutter! This is a family friendly console....
What a great puzzle game this is...one of the best games on the console. I wish Capcom would make another, but they'd probably fuck it up like everything else.
Retro Studios making Donkey Kong? I know....but fuckin' a, they did a great job. Don't worry, they'll branch out on their next game. Oh wait...
Oh, the mighty Goldeneye. While this reboot isn't even a pimple on the ass of what the original was back in 1997, its a great game in its own right, and has one of the best campaigns of any shooter of the generation.
That's right, a Gamecube game in the top ten. Out of all the games that ever released on Wii, I still think the controller helped THIS game the most. RE4's style of gameplay just feels MADE for the Wii controller, and it works insanely well here. One of the best looking games on the system. Laugh or cry.
I played SS like 2 years late, which is funny because every other Zelda I've always played on day 1. Just couldn't get interested enough to play it. When I finally did, I liked it a lot. The graphic style was interesting, and the game design was mostly as solid as ever.
One of the best RPG's of the generation, Xenoblade is as epic as they get. Why Nintendo was so retardedly stubborn about bringing this game to the USA, I have no idea. I need to go back and finish it.
When Nintendo does a direct sequel to something, you know they must have really hit gold. Galaxy 2 was even better than the first game, and pretty much the best you can get out of Wii in terms of production values.
Another Gamecube port cracks the top ten. Twilight Princess may not be the most original Zelda ever, but it polishes the formula to a shine with perfect pacing and is one of the best games in the series. 8.8
The first Galaxy was a landmark game. It was exactly what the Wii needed, and it brought Mario platforming back to the top.
And now, the Wii's #1 game as brought to you by....
That's right, Prime 3 is my favorite Wii game. Go fuck off.
Prime 3 fixed basically every flaw from Echoes, added in some cool new shit like full on FPS controls and ship support, and had some of the best production values, especially in terms of intricacy, the Wii ever saw. I really hope Retro is returning to this style of game after two Donkey Kongs in s row....even if its not Metroid.
