Ok, I'll play along and make a great list of Wii games that you can buy fairly cheap. I'm not going to include Galaxy, kart or Zelda in my list of 10 games as they are obvious choices.

1) Punch-Out!! - Great twitch fighting game, lots of gameplay and looks great. If you liked the NES version you should love the Wii version
2) Metroid Prime Trilogy - Comes out late august, comes with all 3 games updated to use the Wii Remote IR and motion. Possibly the best deal ever.
3) Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn - If you like strategy games, this is one of the best. You don't have to play the GC game before this one, but if you can get your hands on it, but Path of Radiance first.
4) Mario Strikers Charged - Extremely fun 4-player arcade soccer. I've had more fun with this game than most the other ones in my collection
5) Traumer Center (either one, but New Blood has co-op) - Great series, great use of IR. Very difficult and rather weird. I've never understood how they have shattered bottles in their arms, but no visible cuts on their skin.
6) Godfather: Blackhand edition - If you can find it, it is the best sandbox game I've ever played. And not because it has incredible gameplay or anything amazing like that (although I did think it was solid gameplay). However, it has the best motion control in gaming. You beat people to death, strangle them, shove them off buildings, all with your hands and it feels natural
7) Mercury Meltdown Revolution (or any marble game) - perfect use for the Wii Remote, and they are great if you like those types of games. Much better than playing with a joystick in my opinion.
8) Little King's Story - I haven't played it yet, but it looks beautiful and has gotten a lot of really good reviews. I will be buying it soon after it comes out. You can also read this - http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=69128
9) Super Paper Mario - Although most hated it because it wasn't an RPG, I loved it because it was a 2D (sometimes 3D) platformer. It also had a lot of story, so that is hit/miss depending on if you like it or not. You also get to play as Luigi, Peach, and Bowser
10) Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles - I love light-gun games, so I had to list one. There are a few good ones to choose from, so just pick your favorite background setting.

I didn't list a lot of games that I think are worth your time playing, but I feel those games listed above are definitely worth it. There are also lots of great sports games like Tiger Woods 10, or Grand Slam Tennis that use the WM+ along with some cool balance board games like Shaun White Snowboarding or TV Party. Also, I left out the WiiWare and VC games as I don't own many, but there are some good ones like World of Goo. Overall, if you have a PS3 unless you want some X360 exclusives I think a Wii is the better second console.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
