Yes, I have questions. Too many to list, indeed. It's a big list, but much of it means nothing to me. Which of those game, for you, are the best? What genres are they? Why are they better than the other games? Y'know, that sort of stuff. Why do you like 'em? You have to treat me as an utter noob, because, in short, I am. But, I'm catching up.

whew, this may take a while
i guess ill first list the games with the most interesting premise (as opposed to "the other games"):
Deadly Creatures; youre a scorpion or tarantula beating on other pests and human feet. it sounds silly, but the insect violence is just too awesome. action-adventure.
Fatal Frame 4; youre battling hundreds and hundreds of ghosts. and you have a camera... thats probably what makes it (in my opinion) the scariest of all survival horrors. survival-horror.
Trauma Center: New Blood; self-explanatory. ive always wanted to pretend im a surgeon! medical simulation.
Madworld; pretty much an answer to God of War. i wouldnt suggest playing it in front of kids. ridiculously bloody and violent, but the art style prevents you from getting too grossed out. you have total control of how you want to execute your enemies. sandbox? action-adventure? somewhere in the middle
next, games that follow their predecessors nicely. if you thought the predecessors were good games, get these:
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; this is most closely comparable to ocarina of time. however, it relies just a bit more on nostalgia and IS a bit more stale than its older counterpart. its an incredible game none-the-less. the story is more or less the same, but how link, zelda, and ganondorf end up together changes. you can use the wii reticule to aim with projectiles, which makes up for the fact that you have to swing the remote to slash (it gets annoying at times). style is darker and more realistic than OoT. if you like zelda, get it for sure.
Super Mario Galaxy: it ditched the adventure-ish scheme found in Mario Sunshine, and went full-platformer. beautiful game, plenty of suits, same old mario. many people find it infinitely better than sunshine, though i liked both equally.
Resident Evil 4: turned into a 3rd person shooter, which drastically lowers the fear factor, as now you're able to control your character more freely. in a way, its a plus. in a way, it isnt. with the wiimote, you can aim freely, making the wii version superior to the rest. has some light puzzles, and a cool money system, with a killable merchant. i like the bosses particularly, since you rely on intuition rather than wit to kill them; their weaknesses are pretty self explanatory at a moment's glance.
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn; sequel to path of radiance; as usual, perfectly formed characters, decent voice acting, great story. why is it different from the other fire emblem games? well, its harder. brutally harder. if you dont have save data from path of radiance, you may find yourself replaying levels over and over again. its in 3D and... well thats about the only differences. still, if you liked any fire emblem, this is one of the better ones, so id recommend it.
Batallion Wars II: interesting game, as its sort of a hybrid between a third person shooter and a real time strategy game. youre a commanding officer in any unit you choose (you can switch between units). your controls include: attack, patrol, hold position, select all of one type of unit, select one unit, capture, select all... thats all i can name at the top of my head. plenty of units to choose from, decent (but predictable, as the famicom wars series ALWAYS has a third faction pulling the strings) story, and... passable voice acting.
Animal Crossing City Folk: social-ish game, life simulation game. they added online so you can now visit others. uses Wii-speak. thats all i have to say about that.
finally, the "new" games
Okami: very little new content compared to the PS2 version, but drawing is a lot more quick. it really did make all the difference though.
No More Heroes: lightsaber action adventure. makes fun of just about everything you can think of: policemen, otakus, comic nerds, russians, magicians, superheroes, and more. kills are humerous, and its especially satisfying to decapitate 6 people at once and hear one LOUD "AH! MY SPLEEN!" youre the 11th best assassin in the world vying for the #1 position.
Link's Crossbow Training: meant to test the wii zapper. its a seamless, short game. its sort of like those arcade police-training games. youll probably want to get platinum medals for all the challenges. no story, just a test-game with areas you find in legend of zelda: twilight princess, though still a great game. visuals are just as stunning as those in twilight princess. plenty of modes to play.
Elebits: a casual game. just find the little guys. its a light-hearted fun one.
Soul Calibur: Legends; soul calibur as a third person adventure; story revolves around how siegfried obtains soul calibur and soul blade. not an incredible game. cheap tho.
now, brawl.
Super Smash Bros Brawl: perfection. well, not really, but i love it.
thats about all i feel like talking about
if theres any specific title up there you have questions about, ill probably muster up an answer
