Limiting myself only to third party's games I played, I can only list two: Pro Evo Soccer 2009 and Grand Slam Tennis.

Although I haven't played yet, I have hope for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Little King's Story and Overlord: The Dark Legend. Of the upcoming games I look forward Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Cursed Mountain.

Muramasa, or Arc Rise Fantasia

Madworld is over fucking rated. You will be disappointed.
If you like shooters and multiplayer I guess Conduit. I only play Multiplayer. Its not special. Just simple dumb shooting fun is all I wanted and it delivered.

Im just gonna name the one Im most hyped for - MURAMASA:THE DEMON BLADE

Mad World and AWF.

Mad World is a nice filler game. You know, something to play in short bursts every now and then

I would go with The Conduit but just expect a old school shooter in the vein of Perfect Dark 64/Goldeneye/Halo 1 with a good online, and decent graphics for a 3rd party wii game and you won't be disappointed.

Mad World isn't as good as No More Heroes IMO...

I think I saw Punch-Out! mentioned earlier on the list too... I really like that game. I used the advanced motion controls to fight until I got up to Title Defense mode and it was a blast. Too bad they didn't deliver a decent online mode, where you could play as any character and do their special move by filling up a gage as the split screen is basic but pretty fun too.

1. The Conduit
2. Little King's Story
3. Okami (OK 2008, so what?)

I will really have to try this Little King's Story. Everyone seems to like it despite it being an RTS and not having POINTER CONTROLS...

Though little king's story doesn't take advantage of some of the things that are right there... I've played it on my friends hacked wii... Its a 9.0 game on any system... Dare I say its the Pikmin 2 of this generation? Well at least until pikmin 3 comes out.

swords and soldiers! its good and cheap
