can it be a sequel if no knowledge whatsoever of the previous game is required?

i guess that could be allowed, i said no sequal because it should be an self contained story that anyone can get into. 

I should of mentioned in the OP that it should be an game that has no anti climatic ending that builds up for an sequel. 

I figured that's what you meant but wanted to make sure.

With that taken care of I'd like to recommend the following games:

• Endless Ocean 2 (Wii) - I still consider this to be a contender for best game of the generation for me.
• Okami (Wii)
• Little King's Story (Wii)
• Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) - 60 to 100 hrs of single player bliss. (Metroid: Other M is also very cool but different)
• If you haven't played a Resident Evil game yet, then play 4 (the Wii edition is best) or 5 on HD consoles. Haven't played 5 myself but 4 requires no previous knowledge of the series and is GREAT!
• If you haven't played Majora's Mask it is an amazing game with a very unique story element to it. (available on virtual console)
• Fragile Dreams (Wii) isn't the strongest game in the world when it comes to gameplay but the story is so masterfully executed it's worth it for that alone.

I could go on but I imagine you are mostly interested in games with an interesting story, which is why I'm not mentioning the likes of Mario Galaxy 2 or other games without story.
Also, in case it isn't obvious by now, I'm a Wii only owner

Add Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and its GameCube predecesor.
Awesome and very rewarding games.
