Sonic Colors. Trust me, it's one of the best platformers on the Wii. Although not in the same league as the SMG series, obviously.


So good to see a Sonic game being recommended. Made my day.

On gamecube you should grab Paper Mario TTYD, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
On Wii I recommend The Last Story, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, Sakura Wars, and No More Heroes.

Is it a japanese or a hacked Wii? Because Fatal Frame IV is on your list.

For Recommendations you should tell some genres you like or it will be a big list ...


It's a hacked console but FF IV is the only hacked game I will play.  I'll have the original disc versions for all other games.

I like RPG,Platformers and Action games.

The others gave you already some good lists. But a hacked console gives you some more options:

- Disaster Day of Crisis (I am probably the only person who really enjoyed this one ...)

- Project Zero 2 : Wii Edition (Fatal Frame II with two new endings and other changes. I enjoyed it more than IV.)

- Another Code R (Only if you enjoyed the precedessor "Trace Memory" on DS)

I also liked Disaster Day of Crisis. It was a fun game. Still, Xenoblade is better.



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

For digital, I recommend you visit nintendolife.com and decide there, they have a nice list with reviews and prices. In the old Wii times I used WiiWare World for all my Nintendo digital needs, and they later merged to form nintendolife.

BTW Wii was my first Nintendo home console
