Can somebody recommend me some games?

Some games/series I like are Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem, A Boy and His Blob, SSBB, and Okami. I think Mario's okay, but after playing Super Mario Sunshine, I'm hesitant to play the Galaxy series (because I found Sunshine to be a little yawn-inducing.)

I think the way Fire Emblem works might be my fave out of any game I've played. Turn-based RPG, is it? Any recommendations in that genre, or similar games? Action/Adventure is another fave of mine.

Also, is Tales of Symphonia for Wii worth playing (I found it on sale for $15)? I haven't played any other titles from that series.

Sunshine is the only Mario game to really stray from the series. The concept of "washing away the dirt" world was a really lame concept, imho. Super Mario Galaxy is completely different. SMG is a must have, and SMG2 is even better.

I would like to know some fans opinions on ToS2 as well. I absolutely loved the first one on the gamecube, but after seeing the reviews of this one I am skeptical. I wish Tales of Graces would make its way to NA :(.

Can someone recommend me some must have WiiWare and Virtual Console games? I was planning on getting Lost Winds and World of Goo on WiiWare and Majora's Mask, Rondo of Blood, Super Metroid and Sin and Punishment on the VC. I've heard good things about FF My Life as King but is it really worth it? Same goes for Ogre Battle 64, is it a must have? At the moment I've got about 3700 Wii points but I plan on getting one or two more cards for some more games. Also are the games on the first page really must haves? I'm not a fan of Megaman and I've never played the past games but if it's really good then I'll give it a try. Thanks :)

Not really. It's pretty hard to pick which WiiWare games to highlight since people rarely talk about them in the forums. Those are just the ones that were recommended the most when I asked people awhile back. All of the games you mentioned are great, though Sin and Punishment comes with the caveat of annoying controls. You can get used to them, but it's frustrating. In all honesty, you should just get the new one. It's better in every way.

Thanks Jordan :) Guess I'll skip Sin and Punishment. How about the other games I plan on getting? Would you say they are worth it?

Yep, all of them. I don't know about My Life as King or Ogre Battle 64, though. Never played the former and it's been years since I played the latter. From what I remember, though, Ogre Battle is a good game, especially if you like strategy RPGs.

Thanks again Jordan :D I think I'll skip My Life as King and Ogre Battle 64 for now. I'm sure the others will keep me occupied for a long time. Not to mention, I'm running out of points again :P

Monster Hunter 3 would be a good purchase if you like action packed RPGs.

In the market for a Wii game and think I have narrowed it down to several options

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Little King Story

Okami

Of those 3 which would be the best to go with. I am looking for something with some action and woudl also consider any other recommendations.

Thanks,

Okami is one of my all-time favourites. I can't not recommend it.

If you can find it for cheap, it has a pretty fun single-player campaign with great controls (even though some parts of the game aren't so fun). The multiplayer was good for when it first came out, but Modern Warfare Reflex destroys it now, so don't even consider MoH if you're looking for multiplayer.

hi guys, I have a Wii and would like some game recommendations for family-friendly multiplayer games, and good games for little kids in general (please bear in mind that, being a foreigner, my kids don't speak English; in fact, my eldest has just learned to read...). We're big fans of Wii sports bowling, Wii play, FIFA soccer world cup, NSMBW and SSBB. What should I get? Sports Resort? WW Smooth Moves? Rayman? Tetris party? punch-out?

are games like Zack & Wiki, boy & his blob and LKS too text-heavy?

also, other than the sports titles, are there any wii multiplayer games that use two nunchucks?

thanks very much!

thanks everyone for the tips! I was really looking forward to LEGO Harry Potter, since my eldest is a big fan of the series. Are the reported glitches that much of an annoyance? I see many people recommending the title as "the best lego game avaliable"... How about Boom Blox Smash Party? We already have MKW, but the controls are a tad difficult for my 6-year-old... And while we are on the subject of chilndren's games, how about some kid-friendly gamecube titles? What would you consider the best Mario Party game of either console (cg/wii)?

I have CG controllers and memory card, I use them to play f-zero gx... I ask this because of the mario party games. Apparently, Wii's Mario Party 8 hasn't really delivered, and I wonder if the GC vesions are better (my girl loves Mario Party 2, we play it in Project64...) The glitches in LHP seem to be more frequent in two-player games, too bad... Maybe I'll try LSW then... thanks for the tips! (how about boom bloxs, zack & wiki and little king's adventure? too hard? too text-heavy?)

I am looking for a game with good swordplay. Something like the new Zelda or something in first peson? It would be cool if it uses WM+ but if it controls good without it it is ok too.

Red Steel 2 is pretty much the only quality sword game, besides the swordplay section of Wii Sports Resort.

RS2 has the funnest motion controls of any game I've played, and the pacing of the game keeps it pretty fresh throughout the entire campaign. There are problems, of course, but the game is pretty much as fun as you want to make it. You could just hack and slash your way through, but if you actually employ a good balance of the (awesome) techniques you learn, it's a really fun experience.

Depends on how much you want it. There's a TON of content in it, so if you like that type of game, MH3 will be well worth full price. But it's kind of a love/hate game, so if you're on the fence.... it's hard for me to give a strong recommendation.

Do as much research as you can, read a bunch of reviews from metacritic or something, watch gameplay videos, etc. It's a quality game but only fun if you're into that kind of thing, so that's about as much help as any of us can be.

I've never played a Metroid game before and after watching vids of Metroid Prime Corruption, I think it's the type of game that I will enjoy. Do reccomend this game, or do you think I should just wait for the release of Metroid Other M?

Did you understand the story even though you didn't play the first two prime games?
