Wii - What games should I be buying

[k0pp0]

Well, I just nabbed a PAL Wii off of Peev, so now I'm wondering what to buy/download.

There' a back catalogue of SNES and N64 games I want to grab but I haven't really got much of a clue when it comes to Wii games. The lightgun games have already caught my attention, as has Super mario galaxy, Mario Kart and WiiFit (yeah right, can't get it anywhere) - but what unknown gems are there?

Oh yeah, and for the emulated games, what sort of SD card size should I be looking at?

Cheers folks.

Eledees (AKA Elebits in NTSC land). You can get it for buttons, and it's great, great, great.

Resident Evil 4
Kororinpa
Zelda: TP
Super Paper Mario

I havent played but are on my list:
Zack and Wiki
Boom Blox

[crocky-chocky]

Another mention for Super Paper Mario...when that games in full-swing it's pretty much perfection for me.

Geometry Wars is ace and very cheap to boot.

As for unknown gems, I'd say Mercury Meltdown is the biggest, most delicious gem. That's probably quite cheap too.

the light gun games are ace, Galaxy & Kart are awesome, Paper Mario I found a bit 'so what'

for me the unexpected gem is Boom Blox.

Battalion Wars II
Boom Blox
Eledees*
Endless Ocean*
Excite Truck*
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Geometry Wars: Galaxies*
Ghost Squad*
Godfather: Black Hand Edition*
House of the Dead: Returns*
Mercury Meltdown Revolution*
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
No More Heroes*
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles*
Super Mario Galaxy
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Zach & Wiki

I would say that those would be most essential currently. Those with asterisks have dropped in price, or are budget priced.

the light gun games are ace

Yup, they are pretty ace. IGN claims that one of the big publishers is going to announce new lightgun shooter for Wii pretty soon.

Cheers folks,

Any of the game above likely to get the missus interested?

As for downloading games, which controller would you consider best? The orginal GC one or the classic controller?

Gamecube controller for N64 games, Classic Controller for everything else. You can't map buttons yourself, and Gamecube's layout is really cumbersome in SNES games.

also the wavebird controller works perfectly for those who wish to avoid wires (apart from the x360 rockband cables messing your room up).

Excite truck, Eledees, Umbrella Chronicles and Mario Galaxy.

Plus if you like American Footy Madden 08 is superb especially with like minded friends.

Did I mention Eledees? Eledees.

Metroid Prime 3 and Ghost Squad are my favourite titles on the system and Super Mario Galaxy is good fun too.

[Malc]

In my opinion there's a small selection but:

Super Mario Galaxy
Zelda: TP
No More Hero's
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime 3
Boom Blox.
Ghost Squad

are some of the best ones you can get. Also consider Lost Winds on WiiWare; looks damn fun to me, and i'm hoping to get my online connection sorted soon so I can download it aswell.

Edit: I'm also wondering about this, as i'm soon to start downloading:

Oh yeah, and for the emulated games, what sort of SD card size should I be looking at?

If you get Super Paper Mario, prepare to be bored to tears my man.

Get Paper Mario 2 - Thousand Year Door on the Gamecube and save yourself 20quid.

[hush]

not really bought may Wii of late but i am looking forward to playing mario kart and Galaxy and also Boom Blox and maybe aload of the party game ones
