You can stop looking for what you should be buying on the Wii. We have the definitive must buy list for you.

10 Must Play Wii Games


05. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars



Tat-soo-what-now? While Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC owners have been content with Capcom dishing out Street Fighter IV on their platters, if you've come to appreciate fighters like Marvel vs. Capcom, Ultimate All-Stars will sweep you off your feet. Its spiraling 2.5D graphics and selection of bizarre but lovable characters spanning multiple universes make it tough to put it down. The US version hosts a substantial number of additions over the Japan release, such as gameplay tweaks, even more characters, and online play. It's also the second title in this list to have a top-down shooter minigame. Man, what's up with that?

04. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess



What originally started off as a Gamecube exclusive, later turned into a Wii launch-day title. Twilight Princess continues the tradition of ye old Zelda gameplay (that is, mixing action and adventure elements with a bunch of dungeon puzzle-solving). While the Wii controls don't come off to define this as the definitive Zelda experience respective to its platform, Twilight Princess is home to some really memorable characters and an endearing world for you to explore. You simply have to play it.

03. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition


Welcome, stranger... What are you buying? How about this Wii Remote-enhanced port of one of the best over-the-shoulder, third person shooters of last gen? It's amazing how much difference manual aiming with the pointer can make a classic feel new again.

02. Metroid Prime Trilogy


The Metroid Prime series have been one of the most critically-acclaimed Nintendo games to release in the last decade. Its blend of adventure and first-person shooting elements do exceptionally well in expanding the Metroid universe to current-gen players. Now, for the price of one game, you can pick up all three Primes, with the added bonus of Wii-style controls and wide-screen support for the first two.

01. Super Mario Galaxy



Any self-indulgent Nintendo freak knows how good Mario games can be, and Galaxy proves to be yet another hallmark. The formula established since Mario 64 hasn't changed a whole lot. What has changed is the new emphasis on the Star Pointer. It takes some getting used to at first, but the implementation of object interacting spliced up with old-school platforming is vastly intuitive and downright stupendous. If there ever was a way to convince your chums into playing a Mario game, this is certainly it. Keep your eyes open for the upcoming sequel.

Honorable Mentions:
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl
  • Punch-Out!!
