So WiiU is coming very soon and a vast majority of Nintendo gamers will be shifting their attention to the next generation, i want to know your best Wii moments... Is it certain games that gave you the wow factor, or seeing motion control gaming for the first time etc etc here are my faves

1, Getting non gamers interested- I know a lot is made of the Wii being a bit casual blah blah blah, but one of the things that made me stand back and take notice of the Wii was when one Christmas we had a bit of a family get together. My mum, Dad , aunts and uncles were having a blast playing on Wii sports and Mario and Sonic olympics. These people normally wouldnt give a damn about games consoles, but here they were getting ultra competetive with each other, having fun, lots of laughter,and as i watched i thought wow Nintendo have really got this one spot on.

2, Mario Galaxy games- What can i say,these games are a masterpiece and full justification for owning a Wii alone. When i thought it couldnt get any better with Galaxy 1, Galaxy 2 comes along and was as good if not better than the original. With unbelievable level design the games just ooze class, and still amaze me to this day.

3, Pointer controls on fps- I know there is a divide on whether people prefer dual analouge or pointer controls, but some of my best Wii gaming moment have come from shooters that utilize the pointer controls. It just feels so natural to me and also very satifying, as it takes a good degree of skill to become proficient at this. Games like Metroid Prime 3, Goldeneye 007, COD, Medal of honor heroes 2 and even both Conduit games have great controls that just make the games so much fun to play. I play shooters on my PS3, and although they look jaw dropping, they dont have as much fun factor as the Wii shooters due to the controls.

 

1. Mario Galaxy

2. FPS-Pointer-Controls

3. Pointer Controls for other games (such as Pikmin1+2, Mario Galaxy, etc., they showed how much better pointer controls for many games are).

4. Controller! Wiimote+Nunchuk are much better to handle than a old fashioned gamepad. You can sit more relaxed.

5. Fragile Dreams, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (finally: video games designed with mature gamers in mind, haven't found many of them on PS360 or Wii)

6. Showing other people games like Wii Sports (Resorts) and see their astonishment

7. Xenoblade Chronicles! Truly one of the best games I ever played.
