Motorstorm

UNCHARTED!!!!!

LittleBigPlanet

are my favorate 

i will 100% be buying the boleded ones :D

Donkey Kong isn't good, people just wanted to like it. It has no soul, people tried to find out and pretended they could but it was all lies. Rubbish game.

Even though it's not always the most beginner friendly game, you should seriously consider Monster Hunter 3. It's got online play and dual analogue support, and even if you don't like it you would know to personally avoid the games on Sony platforms.


Also, play the Gamecube games you missed out on through the Wii's full backwards compatibility. You've already decided to get the Wii versions/ports of the 2 Metroid Primes and Zelda TP. Pikmin 2 is also great (get the NPC Wii port with pointer controls), it's predecessor (Pikmin) is also good but not great (but totally worth the £5 one can buy the Wii port for). I'm assuming you've played Resident Evil 4, but the Wii enhanced port is pretty cheap now and is IMO the best version of it. The likes of Paper Mario TTYD, Zelda Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine are worth buying for the GC. Keep in mind to play GC games via the Wii, one will require a GC memory card and controller (GC controller is best for SSBBrawl as well, and can be used in games like MKWii).

Mario, Zelda and Xenoblade DEFINITELY IMO.

Also, I think Resi 4, DKCR, Silent Hill and also Little King's Story

No More Heroes. Only game worth mentioning for the Wii.

here's a sampling of lesser known games from Smeag's Wii recommendation guide:

Blast Works - not very well known, but very fun! if you like LBP you whould enjoy it.

Mini Ninjas - also available on other consoles, a really fun, well made third person adventure.

Endless Ocean 2 - a personal favorite, there's hardly anything like it and it can't be beat when it comes to atmosphere and immersion.

Zack & Wiki - an early 3rd party gem, by no means perfect but also trully unique and with high production values.

De Blob 2 - the first was Wii exclusive, the second multiplat. Both are fun, colorful original 3d platformers the likes of which we don't see too much these days.

Kirby's Epic Yarn - the "other" Kirby game on Wii, arguably better, unarguably more charming ;)

Bit Trip Complete - a compilation of original old school style hardcore games with a rockin' soundtrack!

Sin and Punishment 2 - hardcore crazy as hell Japanese railshooting insanity from the house of Ikaruga! (the original is also available on virtual console).

Trauma Team - another game that can only be experienced on Wii, it's the best in the series IMO and definitely worth a play, since it can be found quite cheaply. (no european version afaik)

ExciteBots - better than excite-truck in every way except one - wasn't localized in europe, you may want to import it since it's quite cheap! (along with trauma team)

If you're into strategy games on consoles, give Battalion Wars and Fire Emblem a try.

on the downloadable front, I'll suggest the Lost Winds games, Art Style games, Fluidity and MotoHeroz.

Hope you find this helpful

Thanks everyone for you recommendations

You're welcome! ^_^ Will the Wii make it into your sig?!
