Mario goes to outer space in Super Mario Galaxy, and this opens up all manner of exciting and compelling new opportunities for the plumber, like gravity-based puzzles and physics that had never been seen before in the long-running series. Though the compilation was technically discounted earlier this year, you can still find it for retail price.
See our Super Mario Galaxy review. The sequel to the acclaimed original Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2 once again took Mario to the heavens where he bounced between galaxies in a bid to save Princess Peach. The game is fondly remembered for taking the best parts of Super Mario Galaxy and adding on to them with even more of what people love. There were new power-ups and the ability to ride Yoshi that opened up completely new and exciting opportunities for players. See our Super Mario Galaxy 2 review.
Nintendo's beloved mascot fight game series came to Wii in with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and it was great. Released to both critical acclaim and massive sales, Brawl elevated the series to new heights with its expanded single-player mode, Subspace Emissary, and the addition of third-party characters on its roster, including Sonic and Snake, which would pave the way for Nintendo to further embrace crossover DLC with future games.
The game also allowed players to revert to classic GameCube controls instead of being forced to use the Wii Remote--this was a widely praised move from the fighting game community and players at large who wanted a more precise control setup for the button-mashing game.
Here at GameSpot, we adored Brawl, calling it a must-have game thanks to its simple yet deep control setup, excellent online play, and for its new features like the ability to create custom levels and watch replays. See our Super Smash Bros. Brawl review. Wii Sports was much more than one of the best-selling for any system of all time thanks to how it was bundled with the Wii. It represented the "eureka" moment for many people as they first tried the system.
Connecting with a tennis serve and smacking a well-placed backhand with force, or lining up a bowling ball just right, or nailing the timing with the baseball bat to crush a home run to center field--it felt so new and fresh with the Wii's innovative motion controls. This clash of heroes face off in two-on-two battles for the ultimate 2D tag-team battle. Originally released in Japanese arcades in the Fall of , the original Tatsunoko vs.
Capcom moved to the Wii console on December 11, Unlike the more well-known six-button layout that the Street Fighter franchise pioneered, the VS line features a simplified four button system: Weak, Medium, Strong and Assist for the tag-team option of.
Successful execution of the Assist feature can turn the tide of battle on a dime. Historically the VS series excels in integrating the tag-team options by including customized moves like Variable Assist, Snapback, and the previously mentioned Hyper Variable combination that lets both characters on one team perform their Hyper attack.
TvC enhances the above gameplay with new mechanics, including the Variable Aerial Rave that allows characters to be switched in the middle of an Aerial rave. More moves include the offensive Assault and defensive maneuver Mega Crash. Another new gameplay mechanic, titled Baroque, illuminates the character in a rainbow of colors, cancels the current attack and extends combos and damage.
Featuring a robust line-up of characters, the console version added four mini-games and optional control schemes. Based on the hit animated show from Viz Media, the game features 40 characters with the new grown-up look of the NARUTO Shippuden cast and follows the storyline of the much-loved series.

User Score: 5. Raw for Wii builds upon its inaugural offering by significantly expanding its match type options, giving players more ways to enjoy the platform's unique pick-up-and-play experience. The game also takes full combat sports entertainment to the next level by giving players more Superstar control with interactive entrances and victory scenes.

Dance Party Mode lets kids continuously play through all the dance songs without stopping! No need to navigate menus! Many of our readers may well have finished Paper Mario: Origami King recently.
Players are fighting to stop a guy called Count Bleck from destroying the universe, assumably by paper-cutting him into submission. A lot of people have had mixed feelings over the turn-based battle system in Origami King.
For me, Rayman titles are right up there with Mario and Sonic titles as some of the best platform games ever made, and Rayman Origins is a must-have game for any Wii collection.
The side-scrolling levels stay true to the original Rayman and provide up to four players with a captivating adventure. So what is our floating-footed hero up to in the fourth instalment of his series.? As with other Rayman titles, you must rescue Electoons and pick up new abilities along the way if you want to progress.
There is plenty of collecting and enemy-stomping action for players to sink their teeth into, along with puzzles to test that grey matter. The Wii version has been rated highest out of all the major console ports, so grab a copy and try the best of the best! Every Mario Tennis game has brought immense fun to gamers all over the globe, and Mario Power Tennis is certainly no exception.
Ok, so we all know which the best tennis game is for the Nintendo Wii, but Mario Power Tennis provides a nice alternative by swapping Mii characters with some of your favourite Mushroom Kingdom faces. Squaring off in a doubles match against Wario and Waluigi never gets old, and the courts are all nicely portrayed along with camoes from other Mario characters watching from the sidelines.
If any readers have played Mario Power Tennis for the Gamecube , then this title is virtually the same. There are 18 different characters to choose from including the unusual tennis opponent Petey Piranha. Each player has a power shot that they can use, hence the name of the game. The format is similar to Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and incredibly intuitive for first time gamers.
Pikmin 2 is a game that infuriated me no end, which shows that it certainly had an effect on me. Any game that can make you shout and curse yet still come back for more time and time again is a special one, which is why Pikmin 2 deserves a spot in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games of all time.
Having said all that, I found Pikmin 2 easier to play than the original Pikmin game thanks to the removal of the day time limit. Like the original game, Pikmin 2 sees you controlling Captain Olimar as he explores an unknown planet using Pikmin to do his bidding. This time, Olimar is joined by another spaceman called Louie, and they can take Pikmin around separately as they look for treasure.
But what the heck are Pikmin, I can hear some of our readers shouting? Well, Pikmin are little microscopic plant people that are coloured based on their ability. Olimar can throw Pikmin to retrieve items or send them into battle against enemies.
The overworld in Pikmin 2 has fewer enemies than the original game, leaving you to explore and experience the game without as much peril.
Next up on our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is Need for Speed Carbon , a high-speed racing game where the cops are definitely not on your side. Carbon is the 10th Need for Speed title in the series, which shows that gamers seriously love this franchise. The gameplay revolves around illegal street races and battling rival gangs for driving glory.
One of the best bits about Need for Speed games is the customisation options. My dad used to spend hours choosing the right colours and decals on his cars, only to unlock new features and go back to the drawing board all over again.
And of course, the multiplayer was amazing, providing a more mature racing experience for anyone kidding themselves that Mario Kart is for kids. Anyway, rant over. Resident Evil 4 is an epic title and one that works really well with the Wiimote and Nunchuck combination.
You could always use the Wii Zapper peripheral for those uber-realistic zombie-slaying feels. The Wiimote acts as a gun pointer in this game, shooting wherever you point the remote on the screen.
The villagers in Resident Evil 4 are much smarter too. They can work together to try and stop you, wielding weapons and throwing projectiles in their mission to eat you alive. Fans of the PS4 game Ghosts of Tsushima will enjoy the samurai elements of this game immensely, especially as you can hack, slash, and parry using the Wiimote as your sword!
One of the best bits about Red Steel 2 is that you can fight up to six people at once on screen. Sometimes, however, it can be a bit Agent Smith Vs Neo, with tonnes of enemies queueing up to have a go at you! You play as the last surviving member of the Kusagari Clan, a fighter who must retrieve his sword from some evil lads who tried to drag him across the desert while tied to a motorbike! Wielding a katana is one thing, but using your Wiimote to swing a lightsaber around is another thing entirely!
This title has its own place between the first two series in the Star Wars timeline, not in the order that they came out. It lets you use the Force, for crying out loud! Up next in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is one of my favourite multiplayer games of all time; Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. How best to describe this game for someone who has never played it before…?
My mates and I spent hours on this game, wielding the Wiimote in all manners to try and come out victorious at the end of the round. Nintendo sure knows how to do couch co-op games well, and the Wii was a console that certainly brought people together. If you want a change from slugging baseballs or skiiing down a slope, then give Smooth Moves a try. First up is Mario Strikers Charged , a mad Nintendo take on a football match with all of the items you might expect from Mario Kart and more besides making an appearance.
Thanks to the WiFi connectivity, you can actually play other users all over the world. The pitches on Mario Strikers Charged all have various elements that make play more lively or, in most cases, more difficult, There are obstacles to tackle and lots of items to either collect or avoid as you try to go for goal.
Any game where you might get flattened by a Chain Chomp is a winner in my book! Everyone loves a Mario Party game. The only thing that ground my gears about this game was the fact that the main mode never seemed to go into widescreen and always stayed in Mario Party 8 sees players moving through different boards as they collect coins and try to buy stars.
The boards are introduced and compered by MC Ballyhoo and his weird talking hat that spouts out coins…. At the end of every round is a game where players can compete for coins. Once bitter console rivals, Mario and Sonic put their differences aside back in when they co-hosted their first Olympic Games title.
Seeing Bowser tackle a canoe sprint or Eggman show-jumping is something else, and Sonic could certainly give Usain Bolt a run for his money! Why is London my favourite edition? I guess it was just the most popular at the time because of the Olympics being in the UK.
This is another great game if you want your kids to exercise without them knowing it. This is a no brainer for large family get-togethers or if you and your mates are revisiting the delights of couch co-op gaming. One of the best N64 games returns with an updated version for the Nintendo Wii. The bond character looks and sounds more like Daniel Craig than Pierce Brosnan.
The appearance of some characters have also been modified, and some have been omitted entirely. Instead of a watch to scan documents, Bond now has a phone too.
The multiplayer still boasts all of the features that made this game so great on the N64, however. Next up on our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is Wii Fit , the 8th best selling game of all time for any console with 43,, copies sold!
Nintendo perfectly executed the active play dream with the Wii, and Wii Fit and the accompanying Wii Balance Board added a whole new way to exercise… or play… exerplay? The Wii Balance Board is pressure sensitive, meaning that it can sense how much pressure you exert with one or both of your feet at the same time. This meant that you could use it for everything from step aerobics to ski slaloming on the Mii games. Either way, it was way more than a gimmick. This game and accessory combo was a huge success for Ninty and yet another example of why the Wii was close to becoming the best selling home console of all time!
