I felt like resurrecting this old topic, in part to see if anyone here still actively collects for the Wii, and if you've discovered any more obscure Wii games which you think might not be mentioned already.... but also, to muse about my current fixation on the platform once again. All these years later, and the Wii is one of the last Nintendo platforms still yet to become a major collector's item. Give it time. The GameCube is a hot collector's market now, even the Wii U has taken off as it's odd placement in history and small library makes it a point of curiosity among console collectors. The Wii however, is still sort of in limbo. Games are still a bit thrifty, and easily found. There's a few heavy hitters, but nothing too crazy yet.
Lately I've been picking up a lot of Wii games, and finding the library not yet exhausted of worthwhile titles, as I break over 150 games. I find there's a lot of interesting titles which run the gambit from AAA Nintendo, all the way down the budget shovel-ware.
So to make another contribution to this long list of good obscure Wii games, I would add Monster 4x4 World Circuit. This game was majorly slept on by most Wii owners. Racing is not a much appreciated genre on the platform, while most of the accolades go to Mario Kart Wii, Excite Truck, and Excite Bots... I'd say this game is on par with the latter. In a way it plays a bit like a kart racer, but it also conjures the notion of perhaps a modern day RC Pro Am. You have weapon items, power-ups, lots of tracks, decent graphical presentation for a Wii title too... a super common inexpensive game, that most Wii collectors don't seem to have. There's an exclusive sequel also available for the Wii, Monster 4x4 Stunt Racer. If you like racing games, and you like Wii motion controls. Check it out.
