BIT.TRIP Complete, Zack & Wiki (if you like point/click puzzle games. Geometry Wars Galaxies, Little King's Story (look into it first to see if it's your type of game), Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, Boom Blox.

Thanks for the odd ball throws...

Could you please point to some strong points of each of them to entice a buy?

BIT.TRIP Complete - On-disc collection of the 6 BIT.TRIP Wii Ware games (Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate, Flux). Each game is a modern music/rhythm take on an old classic. For example, Beat is a take on Pong, where you have "bits" coming at you in patterns, and on the left side of the screen, you have a Pong paddle that you have to use to hit them back. Each bit you hit adds a note to the music (and then another note when it leaves the screen). Nothing else like, them, really. The "Complete" version comes with a soundtrack CD and adds checkpoints and some other things (leaderboards, maybe?).

Zack & Wiki - Like old point + click adventure games, but instead of a large world that you're navigating through, it's broken up into self contained levels. It's VERY challenging and very Japanese in it's style. It's a single player game, but my wife and I like to play it together, brainstorming the solutions together and taking turns using the controller.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies - Twin stick shooter with awesome visuals and music. Only version of Geometry Wars to make it to a Nintendo home console. Comes with the original "Retro Evolved" game, but the main "Galaxies" campaign siwtches things up with upgrades, differently shaped maps, and objectives.

Little King's Story and Sin & Punishment - I own these but haven't actually played them yet. Little King's story is a RTS/Life sim/RPG that is unlike pretty much any other game on the Wii (or maybe any other platform). Sin & Punishment is the sequel to a Japanese-only N64 game that is sort of a cult classic. It's an on-rails shooter where there characters have jetpacks (that was enough to sell me on it).

Boom Blox - Really fun competitive party game. You use the motion controls to "throw" balls at Jenga-like towers to knock them down.

You can't delete post as far as I know, just edit (maybe quote someone else)...

bit.trip seems intriguing enough to worth a try.

Though Zacky and Wiki was really childish, glad mistake, will try it.

Geometries war seem ok.

Not interested much in the last 3 you listed by your description.
