Do you feel there are any Wii/Wiiware games that are highly overrated?

My list is Super Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, MaBoShi Arcade, MadWorld, Madden NFL 09, Little King's Story, Resident Evil 4, Pro Evolution Soccer 09, NPC Pikmin (1) and Wii Fit.

Super Mario Galaxy and MaBoShi's Arcade would easily be in my list of the top 5 games for the Wii platform, so I can't agree with you there.

SSBB is overrated to me, but I don't own it, although I have tried playing it several times just to see if it would somehow convince me to make a purchase, and to try and decipher what all the fuss is about. I never liked the Smash series on any platform though.

I can't agree at all. If a Wii game is rated well by critics, it's generally a great game (since so few score well). Just comes down to a matter of personal opinion.

I have most of the games in your list -- I don't have NMH, MaBoShi, MadWorld, and LK'sS -- and I think they are all great. Actually, I think SMG and ProEvo Soccer 2009 are among the best games I ever played whereas Wii Fit is a revolutionary software if not a game. Obviously, there are some widely praised games I don't like, such as Zack & Wiki, which are good but not of my personal preference. If there is one overrated game, this should be Tiger Woods PGA Golf. The gameplay is good but the graphics are ugly and the character creation tool is a pain.

It's all very subjective. One man's meat is another man's poison.

Twilight princess was a disappointment to say the least, way to easy... And way to converted from gamecube.

I was talking about personal opinion.

I'll second the Twilight Princess nomination. Least impressive console Zelda overall.

But why do you list NPC Pikmin 2 as one of the most "overrated" games? It's only out in Japan and it's not like the gaming media has been singing its praises or anything...

I'll third the Twilight Princess. Not that it's a bad game, it's just not what I wanted I guess.

Yes, why berate Pikmin 2? One of the best sequels ever.

I also second theTP nomination as Chicken Bruts says... For some reason, there weren't any special moment in the game i liked when i played it.

Also, Super Smash Bros Brawl: online is full of lag, and if you dont have three friends to play with, it becomes boring, really boring. I sleed it, an since then, i'm happier.

LKS and NPC Pikmin 2 aren't even out in the US (where your profile thing says you live) so I assume you haven't even played them. Sounds like, to me, that you just don't like popular games, subzero, without ever have playing them. I hope you don't think that makes you cool.

I'm glad we're all on the same page.

Twilight Princess was massively overrated.

Looks nice in my collection (only reason I'm keeping it) but I'll never play it again.

Did I put down 2, oops, I meant Pikmin 1. I'll go fix it.

i think okami is over rated i love zelda and was told it was just as good if not better but i really did not get along with okami it just did not flow well as a game and the wii pointer function was broken in it.

Don't listen to what everyone says, you are still amazing and i will love you for ever nintendo xxx

@subzerobf
So, have you ever played Little King's Story? What do you got against that game anyway?

I played Twilight Princess once a year to completion for 2006 and 2007 but lost interest 10hrs in last year. I still like it, but a lot of mags, etc. gave it near perfect ratings which I suppose would make it "overrated." Also to whoever said NMH was overrated...how exactly? It got very mixed reviews...so how is that overrated? In my opinion its underrated...I am just curious, I enjoyed it.

Yeah that's why.

It's ranked the second-best game on the Wii.

If that was the second-best game on the Wii, I wouldn't still have a Wii. lol

Twilight Princess. Easily the most ovverrated Wii game, in my opinion. It's boring, it looks dull (so much brown...) and the best item (the spinner) was hardly ever used. I didn't find the story interesting at all, and I only found it fun during the final boss(es), and that's probably due to knowing the game was almost over.

The only thing I can really say I liked about the game was the music, which has been consistently good throughout the series, so I can't really say it stands out.

Easily the worst Zelda, overall.

I must stick up for Twilight Princess and say that it's awesome and deserves all its acclaim. I think SSBB is the most overrated.
