Title: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Banards on September 15, 2013, 05:51:28 PM A friend is hooking me up with a Wii that he never plays. Aside from knowing that I can pick up some nice classics on Virtual Console, I know nothing about the games available. I need some direction about what's good. So let me know what I should look at getting. :razz:

Super Paper Mario new Super mario bros. wii The Last Story Pandora Tower Xenoblade Chronicles Metroid Other M No More Heroes 1 & 2 Zelda Twilight Princess Zelda Skyward Sword Monster Hunter Tri Donkey Kong Country Returns Super Smash Bros. Brawl Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (or Metroid Prime Trilogy) Sin & Punisher: Star Successor Kirby's Epic Yarn Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Okami (if you don't have the PS2 version) Zack & Wiki Muramasa Red Steel 1 & 2 Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Cobra on September 15, 2013, 08:49:31 PM The games Sirgin listed are all great.
Depending what part of the world your in, Disaster: Day of Crisis & Project Zero 2 are both must haves. If your after some awesome light gun fun try Dead Space: Extraction, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, House of the Dead: Overkill, House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, Ghost Squad. I'd also say Madworld and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn are worth picking up. Also if you want to get any WiiWare, my fav is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King.

The last Story Pandoras Tower Muramaa Okami Smash bros Madworld No More heroes 1 & 2 Fragile Dreams Klonoa Little Kings Sotry House of the Dead Overkill Rayman Origins Lost in Shadow A boy and his blob de blob 1 & 2 Kirby Epic Yarn Kirby 20th Dragon Quest Collection Metroid Prime 3 Metroid other M (game is good story is good but the VA sucks but only play the game if you know all about Metroid Lore..most people didn't get the lore so they thought thr story sucked) Pikmin 2 RE4 Sengoku Basara Samurai heroes Sonic Colors Sin & Punishment Sega All Stars Racing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars Fire emblem Arc Rise Fantasia is a decent game but atrocious VA Zak & Wiki Earth Seeker Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: bombatomba on September 15, 2013, 09:47:27 PM Get yourself a cheap set of component cables and a Gamecube controller and memory card and you now have a great way to play GC games in Pro Scan. Also, while there are some great games to play, there are also some epically bad games as well. Ju-On for example.

How about the horrible Zorro game? :P The Wii was in no short supply of shovelware crap lolTitle: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Cryptid Collector on September 15, 2013, 10:35:50 PM I have to third No More Heroes(both of them). Those two games alone are good enough reason to keep a Wii around and can be had cheap AFAIK.
Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: russlyman on September 15, 2013, 11:05:39 PM I stopped playing No More Heroes after a couple days. I'll have to try and pick it up again.
I also like Ghostbusters Punch Out Lost in Shadow Wario Shake it Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Banards on September 16, 2013, 01:34:53 PM Holy crap, thanks for the awesome suggestions guys. I had no idea how versatile the Wii is and had no idea that it has light gun games. I didn't know Xenoblade was a Wii game either, is that part of the Xenosaga series? Same universe maybe?

No, unrelated. Namco owns the IP to Saga. However the original title was Monando Begining of the word but later changed it because it sounded cooler. I think Xeno is now just used for marketing. Nintendo owns Monolith Soft since 2007 so their next game looking like a maybe semi followup to Xenoblade is X on Wii U and yes will be coming to the US.Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Banards on September 16, 2013, 02:48:16 PM Good to know, I can't wait to play it!
Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Cobra on September 19, 2013, 03:33:36 PM Another one to add to the growing list, I've just been playing Calling and would definitely recommend it to.

Still pissed about them not coming to NA...Title: Re: Picking up an old Wii... Post by: Banards on September 19, 2013, 08:23:09 PM Calling has been added to the list Cobra!
