Well, that's out of the question. I'll look around for Twilight Princess though 
By the way, I'd also like suggestions for great local multiplayer games (online doesn't really matter though, but feel free to suggest some anyway)
I know about the likes of Mario Kart, SSBB and NSMBWii though 
EDIT: Added to the OP
You have LBP, but neither of the New Super Mario Bros (on the DS, or on your list)? NSMBWii is by far better than galaxy. I've beaten NSMBWii like 6-7 times already, and only managed to beat galaxy twice. Since you claim you won't pay full price, and you haven't played a lot of games, buy Super Mario World (or Super Mario Bros 3) on the Virtual Console, and if you enjoy those, you'll love NSMBWii.
anyways,
The Godfather: The Blackhand edition - sandbox type game (GTA style) only with some of the best, most immersing motion controls on the Wii (still to this day). You'll have to find it used, but it was a lot of fun to play.
Mario Strikers Charged - One of the best online and local multiplayer games available on the Wii. I don't know if a lot of people play online any more, but if you have any friends it works flawlessly.
For GC any of these games are great (I'm having a hard time matching up to your library though, so take them as you will)
Pikmen 1 & 2 - they have remakes on Wii, so buy whichever is cheaper. Great game where you control hoards of pikmen to find items and do battle.
Tales of Symphonia - good action RPG. I had a lot of fun with the active battle system.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - if you really love hard strategy games, then get this before Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. If you aren't sure you'll like the series, then Radiant Dawn is easier to find, and the better game.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - good RPG. Uses A/B buttons for attack/defense boost. So you don't just choose what you want to do, you have to make it execute well too. There is also crowd interaction during battles, which makes it more interesting. Not a hard game, but it has a few really good challenges.

Well, 2D platformers never really spoke to me, which is why I haven't been that interested so far. But I think that's a very good idea, I'll give it a try

Cool, I'll look into it

I'll give it a look, it's a baseball game right?

I'm already on the lookout for the NPC version of Pikmin 2
| Tales of Symphonia - good action RPG. I had a lot of fun with the active battle system. |
Eh, I might take a look.

I have no idea if I do though, but I'd still love to give it a try. I'm just not keen on trying to locate a copy of a GC game only to find that I don't like it :/
How important is it to play PoR first? Like "Play Drake's Fortune before you play Among Thieves!" or what?

I had actually looked at Super Paper Mario, but I suppose getting this first would be better
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I normally agree very well with metacritic for HD games, but I know that the same rules don't necessarily apply to the Wii library. Can anyone give me a few pointers on possible correlations between the two? Like 85 for a HD game might be 75 for a Wii game or w/e.
to your Fire Emblem question:
Radiant Dawn is the sequel to Path of Radiance. It plays 3 years after the GC game. You will find many of the characters from the first game. You can even transport your old savegame into the newer game.
If you are unsure about Fire Emblem, you might try one of the GBA parts or the DS part first.

I'll give it a look, it's a baseball game right? It is an arcade soccer game. It plays perfectly. Motion is used for hitting and switching items (I've never accidently done or missed either, so no worries there) and it uses the pointer for "mega strikes" where you play as the goalie and have to block 3-6 shots. You choose 1 captain (major Mario character) and then choose 3 teamates (minor characters like toad/boo). Each character has their own special deke and shot. The captains have mega strikes and special items. My brother and I got very good at this game, and we had a hard time beating it on expert mode, so it has plenty of challenge.
Eh, I might take a look. It's good if you are looking for a more traditional action RPG. There aren't a lot on Wii.
I have no idea if I do though, but I'd still love to give it a try. I'm just not keen on trying to locate a copy of a GC game only to find that I don't like it :/ I played Radiant Dawn first (on normal no less and got my butt kicked) and it plays fine by itself. There will be a few story holes here and there, but nothing that ruins it. If you do get RD first and want to play on Normal, I suggest making a thread and getting some vetteran players to give you some tips. There are a few mistakes you can make that right off the bat that will turn a hard game into an impossible game. Playing on easy will avoid those issues though and you can learn on your own.
I had actually looked at Super Paper Mario, but I suppose getting this first would be better Super Paper Mario is more of a 2D platformer with minor RPG elements than an RPG with platformer elements. I loved the game myself and it is worth a playthrough, but if you are looking for an RPG you'll be greatly disapointed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, I normally agree very well with metacritic for HD games, but I know that the same rules don't necessarily apply to the Wii library. Can anyone give me a few pointers on possible correlations between the two? Like 85 for a HD game might be 75 for a Wii game or w/e. scores can be all over the map. NSMBWii didn't break 90, but it deserves to be right up there with the best. I would look as low as 65 if you really enjoy the genre and want something new and interesting. ExciteBike got a 69, but it has been a lot of fun. It is a simple game and only costs $10, but 3 reviewers dumped 50's or lower on it (for no reason) and it dropped down. Some people didn't grow up with a NES, so why knock the game that is a lot better with online? |

Okay, I might look at the DS game. Thanks

Thanks for the info
The DS Fire Emblem is a remake of the original FE for NES. It won't have a lot of the features and story that the later games do. Fire Emblem for GBA is a great game, and can be found used for around $20.
Cursed Mountain is a good horror game too, and its in the bargain bins for about $15. I really dug Lost In Blue:Shipwrecked, also found in the bargain bins.
