Wii Game Recommendation Thread -- ALL 'which game to get' questions HERE

Dude. After playing Super Paper Mario and NMH I seriously think both of those games should be booted out of the must-have list. I really don't think they deserve the Must- have label. I mean Okami kicks the pants out of those games and its not in the must-have section.

But this is only my opinion of courseshano100

Heh, it's my opinion as well, but it's not the forum's opinion. Super Paper Mario is just dull to me, and No More Heroes has a whole lot of unfun parts in it (though I have to admit that I've only played about 3/4 of it so far). But both of those games are high on most people's best games lists.

Okami is also up there, but not as many people have played it, so it's on the fence. I'm going to play that one myself before deciding to put it on the Must Haves list, which should be very soon.

But since I noticed there is a WiiWare section in this thread now ... why is Toki Tori not on it yet TV Show King is? :lol: I also think this thread should have a list of highly recommended VC games somewhere around the WiiWare section, but that might be too much work with there being so many games out there.

Speaking of less then stellar games on the recomendation list, why is R:E Unbrella Chronicles up there? It was pedestrian at best. I would sugest replacing it with Geometry Wars which got an over better gamespot, and critc score. The only thing R:E has, is it's franchise name.Nickfury101

And that's the exact reason. It's a high-quality game with a whole lot of replay value and awesome co-op play. The story is also great for RE fans, since it explains things from Umbrella's point of view. And it's really fun. The Wii has a decent number of on-rails shooters, and Umbrella Chronicles is easily the best at this point.

The WiiWare games are based on the other stickied thread. Lots of people have recommended TV Show King. I've only seen a handful of people recommend Toki Tori. I love the game, but I understand that not everybody would like it.

As for VC games, x_SuperMario_x's VC and WiiWare list is linked to at the beginning of this thread and in the WiiWare section. It shows the most downloaded games by people in this forum. That's good enough for me. Creating a new section for VC games would honestly be more work than I'm willing to do. I've laid the offer on the table for anyone else to create a VC section, but nobody has bitten yet.

I would like some feedback on Battalion Wars II. I'm looking for an action/strat game to play and that will give me a solid 20hours of playtime, and this is one of the few titles that the wii has other than Fire Emblem (which I have completed many times). Any thoughts will be appreciated, thanks!debrady444

Bwii is real good, but 20 hours is a stretch. i completed it pretty quickly and unless you like the online, or want to get a perfect in every level, i dont think it will last you that long...

Hello,

I'm looking for a good fighting game for my Wii. I have SSBB (as does almost every Wii owner) but I'd like a more classic fighting game (Mortal Kombat, Dragon Ball, Naruto) and I'm wondering which game I should get. I'm a manga fan so DBZ or Naruto doesn't bother me at all. Which one is the best? I've heard about DBZ : BT2 and 3 and Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution and I know that Revolution 2 comes out before long. So, what d'you all think?

Thanks!

BaraChat

DBZ: BT3: More characters, and levels but the 1P is shorter. IMO the controls are very nice. It has online (which sucks). Also there is also other modes that you cna play. There is practice, and tournments.

DBZ BT3> DBZ BT2 in every single way except for the length of the first player mode.

If i had to recommend one i would say 3.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my quesiton..... i have recently gotten a bit bored of Mario kart, brawl, Dr. Mario, Lost winds ETC. Because i have beaten all of them and unlocked everything. So my question is what game would you recommend i get.

Im thinking of Lego Star Wars the complete saga. it has gotten decent reviews and i am really interested in the co-op

Also im looking into Destroy all humans. Yah i know bad ratings but im a huge fan of the series.

So my actual question is........... Is Lego starwars TCS good? or does it have any problems?

hello, i am looking for a good sports game to play on the wii. so far my options are pro evolution soccer, madden 08, tiger woods golf, or top spin when it comes out. which one would you recommend?

and to respond to the post about a good fighting game, i highly recommend dragonball z bt3, has a lot of modes, fighting pace is fast and intense and A LOT of characters.

Not sure if this thread is meant to cover virtual console releases, but I was thinking on picking up Super Mario RPG for the Wii. Should I try out the N64 Mario RPG first? Is it worth a purchase, I have a 1000 points and I can't decide on a game.Packt

I only have about four of those games from must haves to other but ive played nearly all of them but anyway which game should i get Resident Evil 4 or Resident evil the umbrella chronicles80455

Resident Evil 4, by a land slide. It's one of my very favorite games, ever. Umbrella Chronicles is good, but it's only really a must-have if you want to know the backstory to Resident Evil (which you probably will anyway after RE4 anyway lol). It gets very repetitive, but it's fun in short bits.

So yeah, RE4 is way better.

@80455: hmmmm... RE4 without a doubt... RE: UC is a GREAT game do not get me wrong, I own it and love every single minute of it... but is more dedicated for fans of the series who would like to play as wesker (never available before) and see some side of the RE saga.

RE4 is a great adventure/action game with some puzzles. the horror/SURVIVAL part of the series was practical remove, but you get some nice horror moments. The over the shoulder look make it great.. and the montion sensitive of the wii version make it even better.

hope that helps...

@alexh_99 as long as you are not looking for a challenging game.. the star wars is really fun, and the co-op is fun as well (Thus I did not try it much in co-op) The game is worth the money (specially if like me you had not play the star wars lego series before) is 3 games in one for the price of one... The game have nice colors, nice story, great unlockable.. and is fun to play (adventure/action) .. the only down is that is easy (you never die) but that aside is a great game to just chill and enjoy some time....

hope taht helps, I have no clue about the other one.

@ninwin99 sorry no clue about sport games.. :oops:

.... if you are talking about paper mario for N64, yeap.. get it... GREATgame.. imo it was able to mix turn-based with "real time action" insuch a great way that you would love it. The game is long enough, have nice quest and the plataforming part is pretty sweet.

and.. wait what?? Super mario RPG?? when was that release?? I have being busy but I would never thought I would miss that....

@Jordan: I was going to ask why Toki Tori is not on the list, but I read above why.. imo is a great game... but yea TV king is pry more fun with more friends.. Thus a friend got it and imo is just a bad version of buzzer, thus I just look it for about 15 min. :lol: Anyway.. wanted to say that I strongely reccommend Toki Tori as puzzle game :)

Also sorry I have not being around much lately.... life have me bit busy atm :) I`ll pop-in as much as I can :)

Enjoy...

Okami or Mario kart...I need help making a decision.ImSwordMan

Well... let me start by saying that those 2 are completely different and each of them is GREAT on it gerne..

OKAMI: (which I finally got the wii version :P ) is a great action/adventure with an unique gameplay, good battles, beautifull art.. and between side quest and the main story would keep you busy for at least 30h.

MK: It has tons of stuff (karts, bike and character) to unlock. Also it has others stuff like ghost data (which you can send to Wii friend to challenge them or show how good you are :P ). All this would give you a great single player. The mutiplayer offline is pretty good (Thus I did not like the battle mode offline, you can just sit there and your team may win anyway :? ) Now, where the amazing part is in MK: Multiplayer online. imo is the best multi online. The point system just make it addictive and you would find yourself playing for hours and hours... with friends and with anyone in the world/region.

SO.... It all depends what you want atm. single player vs online multiplayer.

Personally I got MK 1st.. why?

MK price would not drop any time soon, with Okami you can find nice price dropping. You can just get MK and play all you want, and when you get tired (which if you are any like me would be in a looooooong time - it has not happen yet- ) you get a single player game (e.g. Okami) when you are done with that MK would be still there for some multiplayer replay... :)

Hope that helps.. enjoy..

ok i just got mine two weeks ago and the only game i have is super mario galaxy, and i know brawl and mario kart are must haves but what are some others?GerrywithaG15

It all depends the type of game you like... did you check the list on the 1st post?? I own all of them and enjoy them (exc maybe galaxy, for me it was not THAT great.. and I do not thing that SSBB is a must, it all depends on how many online/offline multiplayer you want.. I had SSBB and MK, end up selling my SSBB copy :oops: )

Anyway.. I strongly recommend Zelda: TP, RE4 and MP3. If you like puzzle (point and click) games also Z&W is pretty good.

NMH: is a blast... killing assassins and collecting stuff, you would have a really fun @20h (time depends how much you complete the game... 100% including second play would give you around 40h)

Super Paper Mario is fun, but I would get Paper Mario instead on the VC imo. ( turn-based RPG in a great, fun way :P )

hope taht helps..

Hey you all,

I doubt getting a new footie. Shall I take the Fifa 2008 or latest PES? I only played fifa so far, but wondered which is the best. What do you think?

w I didn't know my games would be so high rated

I have

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Mario Galaxy

Medal Of Honor Heroes 2

Okami

Mario Kart Wii

Legend Of Zelda Twillight Princess

Madden NFL 08

And the one game that NO ONE should get that I have, is Far Cry Vegeance. 5.5 I thought It would be a 2 or 3. Worst game on the Wii.

But Are there any Other good FPS games? Maybe one you can use twith the classic controller?

While I haven't played either, I've heard more positive things towards PES.

Hey guys, I just got my Wii two days ago and I was wondering if Mario Kart Wii was a good game to buy.

I've played and owned almost ever Mario Kart game and wanted to know from you guys if this was a game I would definitely like. The Mario Kart series has been one of my favorite racing game series.

Then you'll love it. MKWii combines nearly all of the best traits of the previous entries, the Wii Wheel control is accurate and really fun to use, and the online play is superb. The only thing you should be wary of is the increased difficulty when playing online. Because there are so many human players, the weapons are quite a bit more hectic than you might be used to. Some people think this makes the game that much more fun, and others get too frustrated. Either way, you should definitely get it if you enjoyed all the other Mario Kart games.

Okay so i've only got like 75 bucks and i want to get two of the following..... LoZ:TP, Okami, RE4 wii, Mario Galaxy, DBZ: Tenkaichi 3, No More Heroes.

In the end it's your choice, but I recommend Twilight Princess/Okami or RE4. I would suggest both Okami and TP but they're fairly similar sometimes. It just matters in which you're interested most in.

Okami

I would'nt recommend it because One Piece is a crappy show as it is. Some good anime based games are the Bleach titles for the Wii and DS.

Bleach RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eaglex14

well.. maybe no a "true" FPS.. but MP3 is a great one and I do not see it on your collection there.. I know there are a couple more, I think even on the VC... but I can not remember atm.. and kind of tired...

agree with that statement... was going to say the same. And I would go with Okami 1st.. unless you are a zelda fan. Also Okami is cheaper atm, so that would aloud you to gte more games.

Among the others.. defenetely RE4. NMH is good, but RE4 is better (imo) and would give you more for your $$$.

HOpe that helps everyone...

enjoy gaming...

Fire Emlem Radiant Dawn is a great buy :). The only problem is the increased difficulty levels.

hey guys, i want a game that uses the motion controls well, and has replay value. i was thinking of getting warioware (i liked it when i rented it but im not one of those guys who likes to get a high score) or boom blox (but id like to know what do you exactly do in boom blox). i am also considering getting trauma center new blood (but i want to know how much replay is there and is there any new gameplay ideas behind it). i am open to other suggestions as well. the games i played are madden 07, zelda, mario galaxy, re4, metroid prime, zack and wiki, ssbb, mkwii, super paper mario, wario ware, no more heroes, medal of honor 2, and trauma center second opinion.

hey.. does anyone have any clue how the wii version of Alone in the dark is??

I played the 360 for about 3 hours... The camara has some lil issue, but it seems that that is a must lately for horror videogames. But the BAD thing was: bad.. bad controls, specially the battle system. I think that it may not be so annoying with the wii, bc of the montion sensitive stuff... so has anyone try this one?

Please let me know... I`m dying for some horror and the ps3 version would not come any time soon..

Thx. :)

chang_1910

Apparently it's got some good controls, with some minor exceptions, but is "unfinished" as a reviewer said...forget who, though :P.

But yeah, I have not heard goods about it. I haven't played it myself though so I don't know...

Thx... a user review here in GS?? I`ll look into it.. Thx...

if anyone else knows.. I wil really appreciated your though... I would rather save the $$ (even the rent if is THAT bad, as imo the 360 version)

Metroid 3 or resident evil 4... .looking for an exciting shooterEricOwnsY_basic

RE4 is much more intense, and is honestly one of th ebest games I've ver played. You will jump in your seat at least once while playing it. It's also only $30, so thats nice. Metroid 3 is much more slow paced and there isn't much good combat outside of boss battles. There is more emphasis on puzzles.

RE4 is far more "exciting" though.

I need to choose between Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy. Been a fan of both franchises, played alot of Zelda games, played alot of Mario games. I honestly just can't decide between the two.zeriva

Well those are the two best games on the Wii imo, and you will not be disappointed by either. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want the most epic Zelda ever, along with several dungeons and a huge Hyrule that will take you about 60 hours to complete, then you want Zelda. Mario has beautiful graphics and extremely innovative gameplay. There obviously isn't much of a story, but the levels are among the most creative in any game...ever. You will get about 40 hours out of this game.

Like I said, you cannot go wrong with either.
