Topic: What is your favorite 2D platformer on the Wii?

@Sony_70 VC games don't count. It has to be either a Wii or Wiiware game.

I was a trolling.

Does Brawl count? No? Well then NSMB Wii, at least until I get Rayman Origins.

so I think you're implying you really enjoyed A Boy and His Blob.

I really didn't care much for Wario Land. I liked the design but it just played too slowly, I usually like to 100% games in the this genre but once I cleared WL I left it alone because I couldn't face crawling through all the levels again multiple times over to find secrets or whatever.

I'm split between Rayman Origins and Kirby's Epic Yarn, both of which I rate above NSMBW. Kirby's Epic Yarn was a bit too easy, but it was so nice to play. I still haven't played DKCR or Return To Dreamland.

Kirby's Epic Yarn so far :3

i'm torn between donkey kong country returns, kirby's return to dreamland and super mario bros wii

Kirby's Epic Yarn,despite people saying it's not a real Kirby game,i still enjoyed it,it was great and the art design was simply fantastic.

Gaah! DKCR was fantastic and I still love the game to death but Rayman Origins was superb as well. Then there's NSMBW which people seem to be complaining more about now but it was great as well. I guess it's a 3 way tie

Kirby's Epic Yarn isn't so different from most Kirby games in that you can breeze through most levels if you want, but it becomes a good deal trickier when you try to 100% it. The inability to die doesn't change that.

Rayman Origins.

Hmm, I should get Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. I've heard many good things about it, but it was low on my priority list.

It's a very good game,well worth getting it.

You can't beat DKCR. I was skeptical when the game was first shown but wow, was I ever wrong to doubt Retro on this one.

But in general, the Wii has been home to more stunning platformers than any system since the SNES. We're living in the golden age of the genre.

Can't decide between Wario Land Shake and DKCR, they're both so amazing in totally different ways.

Wario Land: Shake It!

Fluidity or NSMBW

I guess it's DKCR for me. I haven't played some (Rayman, Return to Dreamland, WarioLand), but out of the three I've played DKCR stands out. NSMBW was alright, though it didn't feel that "new", and I enjoyed it in 2 player mode better than single player. Still can't believe there's people who consider it hard or frustrating, I found it was within the grasp of the average player — the only "tough" stage being the ice level in world 9. Epic Yarn was very fun in 2 player mode, but the single player just put me to sleep.

DKCR had everything, sure enough it's the best 2D platformer I've played this generation

For the record, I was going to add Donkey Kong Country Returns, Rayman Origins, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and A Boy and His Blob

But everyone kind of covered it already. Lol.
