The Wii U has officially launched to herald a new generation, but that doesn't mean the original Wii should be immediately forgotten. It was home to a number of standout games that deserve to be recognized in this period of transition. The site didn't post an official article for this purpose, and I didn't see a thread for it (if there is I apologize for duplicating), so I thought I would start a thread to let the people of VGChartz commend their personal favorites for the little white box that could. I know this isn't as timely as it would be around the Wii U launch, but I wanted to leave enough time for people to finish any 2012 Wii games they might be playing. Below are my picks. I know I don't have every category covered, since I'm just sticking with games and categories I play, so feel free to include any categories I neglected in your picks.
