| nordlead said: You have LBP, but neither of the New Super Mario Bros (on the DS, or on your list)? NSMBWii is by far better than galaxy. I've beaten NSMBWii like 6-7 times already, and only managed to beat galaxy twice. Since you claim you won't pay full price, and you haven't played a lot of games, buy Super Mario World (or Super Mario Bros 3) on the Virtual Console, and if you enjoy those, you'll love NSMBWii. |
Well, 2D platformers never really spoke to me, which is why I haven't been that interested so far. But I think that's a very good idea, I'll give it a try 
| The Godfather: The Blackhand edition - sandbox type game (GTA style) only with some of the best, most immersing motion controls on the Wii (still to this day). You'll have to find it used, but it was a lot of fun to play. |
Cool, I'll look into it
| Mario Strikers Charged - One of the best online and local multiplayer games available on the Wii. I don't know if a lot of people play online any more, but if you have any friends it works flawlessly. |
I'll give it a look, it's a baseball game right?
| Pikmen 1 & 2 - they have remakes on Wii, so buy whichever is cheaper. Great game where you control hoards of pikmen to find items and do battle. |
I'm already on the lookout for the NPC version of Pikmin 2
| Tales of Symphonia - good action RPG. I had a lot of fun with the active battle system. |
Eh, I might take a look.
| Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - if you really love hard strategy games, then get this before Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. If you aren't sure you'll like the series, then Radiant Dawn is easier to find, and the better game. |
I have no idea if I do though, but I'd still love to give it a try. I'm just not keen on trying to locate a copy of a GC game only to find that I don't like it :/
How important is it to play PoR first? Like "Play Drake's Fortune before you play Among Thieves!" or what?
| Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - good RPG. Uses A/B buttons for attack/defense boost. So you don't just choose what you want to do, you have to make it execute well too. There is also crowd interaction during battles, which makes it more interesting. Not a hard game, but it has a few really good challenges. |
I had actually looked at Super Paper Mario, but I suppose getting this first would be better

Also, I normally agree very well with metacritic for HD games, but I know that the same rules don't necessarily apply to the Wii library. Can anyone give me a few pointers on possible correlations between the two? Like 85 for a HD game might be 75 for a Wii game or w/e.
