Nintendo's really doing a disservice by not having a Wii Player's Choice line imo.  Games like Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princes and Metroid Prime 3 should've gone PC years ago, and they'd have likely doubled their ltds at this point.  Nintendo could be moving a LOT more Wii software than they currently are, and there's no real need to take the more evergreen titles PC (Mario Kart, Wii Fit/Plus, NSMB, etc)


They should also bring that thing they've done with 3rd party games, which isn't dissimilar to PC  in Japan over to the West as well.  Sorry, I can't remember the name.  I remember they did it with Muramasa, Deca Sports and some other games that scored highly on the Nintendo Channel.

Games I would like to see on the European version:

- Muramasa

- Little King's Story

- Madworld

- Zack & Wiki

- Tatsunoko vs Capcom

- Dead Space Extraction

- Silent Hill: SM

Yeah, the "everybody's selection" series, or something along those lines. It really was an ingenious way to promote higher quality 3rd party efforts on Wii, by making it a user derived standard rather than 'sales' or an arbitrary metric.  It did really well too, Muramasa likely got a 20-30k-ish bump overall thanks to it (it was 8k 1st week alone iirc).   Deca Sports wasn't part of it though iirc.

If they did this line in the US, the following games would be eligible now (or at least those with 200k or more US votes)... I bolded the ones I'd like to see make it...
