The Wii is pretty much done and over at this point. I know that there are still a few spatterings of releases here or there, but nothing major anymore.
So now that the innovative console is done and over, looking back at it what were some of your favorite titles for the console? Physical disc or Wii Ware included.
My top favorites for the system:
-Bit Trip Series (Wii Ware) - An audio and visual feast that will test your skills.
-Cave Story (Wii Ware) - One of the most underrated games of all-time. Metroidvania gameplay with a very charming setting and cast of characters and some puzzle and RPG elements thrown in.
-Donkey Kong Country Returns - I love the Donkey Kong Country series. The level-design and gameplay are just so well thought out in these games and they play almost rhythmically.
-Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - One of the best uses of the Wii's waggler...ahem, "WiiMote".
-Metroid: Other M - More story-driven than most Metroid games, but still a great game in a great series.
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii - Great traditional 2D Super Mario platforming, polished to that special Nintendo shine.
-Rayman: Origins - Beautiful both visually and musically and great 2D platforming.
-Super Mario All-Stars - If you don't already have these games individually, or the original release of this collection on the SNES; then I HIGHLY recommend getting this one. Some of the best platforming games, nay, some of the best games EVER on this collection.
-Super Paper Mario - Nice twist on 2D gameplay and it was a fun Mario game.
-Wii Sports & Sports Resort - Just plain fun to play with people.
I haven't had the chance to play Epic Mickey or Legend of Zelda: Twilight Sword yet, but would love to. To tell the truth, I haven't played Donkey Kong Country Returns other than in the store for a couple minutes. But I already know I love the Donkey Kong Country series so it just seems like a no-brainer for me (and it's only a matter of time before it's in my collection, I just haven't come across that deal on it yet).
I really like the Virtual Console service, too. It let me try out some games that were otherwise hard to find or too expense to be a practical purchase for me like Lords of Thunder on Sega CD, Chrono Trigger on SNES, and Breath of Fire 2 on SNES.
What were some of your favorites?
