Glad to see so much love for XC

Xenoblade for me

Xenoblade is the best game of the whole generation.

I was thinking about writing something about the Wii being an underrated system despite selling over 100 million units LT. Sure, it didn't get the third party games like GTAIV and V, Red Dead, a few CoDs, Assassin's Creed, Borderlands, Dark Souls, etc. and there were a lot of shovel ware for the Wii (though it can be said for any console, especially those that sold really well). Nevertheless, it had a plethora of solid to great games.

Zack and Wiki, Trauma Center, RE4 Wii Edition, Wii Sports/Resort, Wii Fit, Punch Out! Wii, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, Sin and Punishment Star Successor, Excite Truck, Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Skyward Sword, Prime Trilogy, the Mario Galaxy games, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Return to Dreamland, No More Heroes (1 and 2), Red Steel 2, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, DKC Returns, Xenoblade Chronicles, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Metroid Other M (yes, I'll include it Metroid fans despite its flaws), The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Boom Blox, Project Zero 2 Wii Edition and 4 (for those who got it from Japan), Little King's Story, The Conduit, Sonic Colors, Epic Mickey, House of the Dead Overkill, Monster Hunter Tri, Rhythm Heaven Fever, etc. Even some of the EA games were pretty good using the Wiimote.

Monolith also helped with SS. The Lanayru area iirc.

Well said. I think it's totally appropriate to call it underrated despite units sold.

A lot of people still have not come to grips with how great and disruptive it was, or with how it infused a lot of new blood (and cash) into the industry. 

The problem is it's just so low effort.  On both the Wii U and the Wii, you can tell Capcom didn't invest the necessary resources to make Monster Hunter 3 a truly great console game.  Which is sad, the game has so much untapped western appeal potential because the only versions that get real love are handheld versions.  Even when consoles get a version, they never take advantage of he hardware.  I really hope MH comes to the Switch with real effort, but I'm not holding my breath to see it before late 2018 at the earliest. 

Someone needs to do a Gamecube version of this thread

Mario Strikers Charged & Mario Sluggers were prob the two games I had the most fun playing with. Great multiplayer games.

Sin and Punishment should get a mention.
