Must haves: Smash Bros. Brawl (+ Project M), Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii (+Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii), Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Rule of thumb: If it has Mario in the title, it's probably somewhat fun
And if you hate Mario, get the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, DK Country, and maybe even Rayman Origins and Okami.
I prefer Gamecube games waaaaaay more but Wii still has its fair share of good games
And for Wii U, I would say that the must have is Super Mario 3D World
And if you like platformers, get Rayman Legends (my personal favorite so far) and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Cloudberry Kingdom if you're a masochist
If you're more into action/strategy, Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 are good choices
Wind Waker HD if you like adventure games (it was my first Zelda game and now I love the series!)
My question is; Are there any Wii game's that'll play with the gamepad? Metroid:Other M for example?
All Wii games will play on the Gamepad, but the buttons won't work so you'll still have to use a Wiimote or Classic Controller Pro. Fortunately, the Gamepad camera detects the IR of the Wiimote to act as a sensor, so it works perfectly if you so desire to play games that way.
Now, as for some recommendations. You say you're interested in Wii games. Allow me to personally recommend the following:
Donkey Kong Country Returns ($22 new from Amazon)
Metroid Prime Trilogy ($50 used from Gamestop)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption ($5 used from Best Buy.com)
Metroid Other M ($5 used from Best Buy.com)
Sin & Punishment 2: Star Successor ($5 used from Best Buy.com/ $14 new from Amazon)
Zelda Twilight Princess ($20 new anywhere)
Zelda Skyward Sword ($38 new from Amazon/$30 used from Best Buy.com)
Xenoblade Chronicles ($60 used from Gamestop)
The Last Story ($30 new from Amazon)
Super Mario Galaxy ($20 new anywhere)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 ($34 new from Amazon/$25 used from Best Buy.com)
I would, however, HIGHLY recommend Wii U games right now. There are a number of Wii U games that are simply phenomenal and not to be missed. Some of them I'd consider to be among the best I've ever played in my life. Here are my Wii U recommendations:
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Super Mario 3D World
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Zelda Windwaker HD
New Super Mario Bros U
Wii Sports Club (Golf)
ZombiU
And some multiplats on Wii U that are VERY much worth buying are listed below:
Rayman Legends
Sonic Racing Transformed
Darksiders 2
Batman Arkham City
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Splinter Cell Blacklist
Assassin's Creed 4

I'd say look at the two Galaxies, the Metriod Prime Trilogy and the two Zeldas. Then once you have them start building your Wii U library. A lot of the "must have" Wii games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Xenoblade, DKCR, Rayman Origins and so on do or will have Wii U equivalents now or within the next year or so. Not really worth going back to the Wii library with those games. Parly because the Wii's online stuff is going to be shut down but also because I personally find it hard to go back to 480p now. Then there are the staple Wii experiences like Wii Sports and Wii Fit which are still as good as they were and were fine at any resolution but now have improved Wii U versions.
But really the great stuff is the new Wii U content. Super Mario 3D World, Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends. All of these are a class above the majority of Wii titles especially when played in their full shiny HD glory. Also poke around in the eShop for indie stuffs, lots of content there to look at. Especially if you're wanting to get something for a little bit cheaper.
A recent update allows you to use the GamePad screen as a separate display, but as of now, the buttons on the GamePad cannot be used in place of a Classic Controller.
I hope this feature is added in the future, as it would make off-tv play that much more enticing.
Also, @BenjaminAran, why even consider the Wii when the Wii U is backwards compatible? I could see if you were to look up and down for an original Wii with GameCube support, but not many Wii's you can buy have that feature anymore.
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite
My question is; Are there any Wii game's that'll play with the gamepad? Metroid:Other M for example?
Kind of sad, that the only games for the Wii U are old Wii games. It defeats the purpose of buying a new console.
This is why I been waiting off on buying the Wii U, I don't really have the time to replay an old game, just give me something new.

Why do people say there are no Wii U games? Drives me nuts. Not counting Wind Waker HD (since everyone always says that doesn't count as it's just a remake of a Gamecube game), there's Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, The Wonderful 101, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, ZombiU, Super Mario 3D World, Rayman Legends (the definitive version), Batman Arkham City/Origins, NintendoLand, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover, NSMBU, NSLU . . . there are TONS of great games for it. I'm very happy with my purchase, I just need to get the money for all the games I want.

Who said that? I assumed the OP was asking for Wii games mostly because the Wii has a massive library of games that are all in the bargain bin now. Nothing to do with the Wii U library. If you skipped the Wii and have a Wii U then why not ask what Wii games you should look at getting?
Some playlists: Top All Time Songs, Top Last Year
"Don't stir the pot" is a nice way of saying "they're too dumb to reason with"
@cbkummer I never stated that there are no Wii U game's there are plenty i am interested in! But i am also interested in the Wii library and as mentioned by @skywake there are loads in the "bargain bin".
Sadly @JaxonH those price's do not apply to me as i live in Sweden, the metroid prime trilogy for example costs a lot more.... 1000 KR (swedish currency) converts to 160$ so that one is NOT cheap... awesome list though, i have got a lot of them on my to-buy list already!
Thanks everybody for tips and info! I really appreciate it
edit: @cbkummer ops, is see now that ur comment was not directed towards me. Sorry!
Even if you get DKCR for Wii at a bargain price, I'd go for Tropical Freeze anyway. Although both games are challenging, Tropical Freeze is IMO way more well-designed as a game and more rewarding as a player experience.
I'm sure everybody's telling you the same thing, but seriously, pick up Tropical Freeze. In my opinion it's easily the best title on the system. I have six Wii U games: Tropical Freeze, 3D World, Nintendo Land, Mass Effect 3, Wind Waker HD, and Mario Bros. U. If I could keep only one I'd keep Tropical Freeze in a heartbeat.
My game library ranges from Mario Kart to Call of Duty to Tales of Xillia to Diablo 3 to Forza. To me gaming is about having fun - not blindly supporting only one company while thumbing your nose at "the evil other systems."
