That game being Zelda of course..and a ton of VC games. Besides that I have bought no games made for the Wii. Have they advanced at all with online gaming? Any must have games out? Any bargain bin games that I should pick up.

    The only game that I have heard anything about other than Zelda that seems even remotely interesting for the Wii is The Conduit. It's not out yet, but check it out and see what you think.

    Sadly, I too have been neglecting my Wii as of late

    I suspect that it is because the "new" hasn't worn off on the 360 I picked up not too long ago but hey

    Anyway: the following are all good games and are worth at least a rental

    Super Mario Galaxy - basically it's to Mario 64 what Mario 3 is to Mario 1
    Elebits - you use a gravity gun to make a huge mess and find these little guys
    Marvel Ultimate Alliance - if you don't mind not getting the extra 360 characters or not being able to play online then this is pretty good, if only for the fact that you have access to all your special moves at once
    Mario Kart Wii - still ridiculously unfair when playing against the CPU but its online mode is really good
    Super Smash Bros Brawl - online usually sucks but lots of fun playing with people in your living room
    No More Heroes - you play as an otaku who becomes an assassin after buying a lightsaber on eBay. Also it's made by the guys behind Killer7
    Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon - if you like roguelikes (Nethack, ADoM, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon) then you'll like this Final Fantasy-themed one

    Really? Do you only own a Wii? What about:
    • Oblivion
    • Resistance
    • Too Human
    • All the LEGO Titles

    You can't tell me that Super Mario Galaxy was BETTER than any of those games.

    Of course I can. Oblivion is great, but not for everyone. Resistance is nothing special, Too Human is bland and boring. The LEGO titles? Seriously?

    EDIT: And I own a Wii and PS3. Had a 360, played everything I wanted to play on it and saw nothing great coming out in the future that wasn't headed for PS3 as well, so sold it to trim the fat. Went with PS3 over 360 because of Blu-ray.

    Maybe it's because it didn't come out this year.

    I thought N+ was a better platformer than Mario Galaxy.

    I'm no doubt in the minority on that opinion.

    While I tend not to agree with all the people that are all "OMG XBLA IS THE BEST THING ON 360", N+ makes a strong case for it.

    If you bought your Wii for online play, I think you made a mistake in console choices.

    I see the Wii much akin to the GameCube--not many 3rd party titles, rarely see 1st-party titles, and even when you get 3rd party stuff it's usually pretty mediocre, or try to use the Wii-mote in some way that makes the game not fun anymore.

    Yeah, thats my point. It isn't better than any good 5 games this year. You said it may be the best of the generation and I said it isn't better than just 5 great titles this year let alone last or any future years we may experience short of Mayan armageddon.

    Yes, but you're also a total Sony fanboy, DW.

    It's like me saying that I would take Brawl over every single PS3 or 360 release this year. It's true, but not really helpful to a discussion of good Wii games.

    Of which there are many.

    My main problem with Mario Galaxy was expectations. I was expecting a Mario 64 sequel. Instead it felt like I got a Super Mario 3 sequel. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, it's just not what I was hoping for.

    I haven't even bought Galaxy yet, since I know it'll be available forever, and want to get the smaller titles first.

    This was precisely why I loved it so much.

    Super Mario Bros. 3 felt fresh and vibrant. Super Mario 64, while impressive in its day (if only because it was, well, 3D), is comparatively bland when compared to SMB3 and World.

    This is the real problem with all of the Wii exclusives: Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Mario Kart Wii... When will they come out with anything that isn't just a rehash of an old game with new controls? Don't say Wii fit either, because that's not a game, it's a marketing ploy.

    The Conduit may be the closest thing the Wii will get to a game that competes in this console generation, but the reality is that the Wii markets to a different demographic than the PS3 or 360 anyway. That makes it hard to compare.

    That's what I thought, also. I didn't play Mario64 until after OoT came out, so although I enjoyed it, it didn't blow me away like the older Marios did. SMG being like SMB 3 and SMW is entirely a good thing in my books.

    No, it just shows that a game that isn't even out yet looks better and is more deserving of a title such as game of the generation than SMG.
