Of the above games, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is probably the hardest to find (in my experience).

I'd say Madworld and, if you don't have have them on Gamecube, DK Jungle Beat and Pikmin 1 + 2 in the New Play Control edition.

Arc Rise Fantasia or Rune Factory Frontier if you like RPG's

...you're not missing much...

Only ones I have to mention are Klonoa and Trauma Team. And Red Steel 2.

Resident Evil 4 seems to be the biggest one you're missing.

You've got just about everything....
Lost in Shadow, Sonic Colors, Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space: Extraction (if you're into that) are the only ones I would add that haven't been mentioned.

Nice list of games you have there.

I would also add Fragile Dreams and the Conduit 2 to that list.

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars.

I'd also recommend "A boy and his blob".

That is a pretty conclusive list you have there!

I'd suggest taking a look at De Blob. It's not up there with greats, but it's a pretty fun game in a genre that is surprisingly rare on the Wii.

I loved that game!

If you are in the USA.

Data East Arcade Classics
Excitebots Trick Racing
Castle of Shikigami 3
Ultimate Shooting Collection (I got 2 but region free is easier on a Wii than Wii U and less risky).

If you are in PAL
Disaster Day of Crisis

Anywhere
Ghost Squad
Kororipa
Nights : Journey of Dreams
House of the Dead : Overkill
Warioware : Smooth Moves
Bully : Scholarship Edition
Links Crossbow Training

Beyond what has been mentioned:
Silent Hill Shattered Memories
House of the Dead Overkill
Dawn of Discovery

And even though they will be available on newer systems, RE4: Wii Edition is my favorite version and I'm extremely skeptical that the remaster REmake will be superior to the RE Archives version (what they've shown so far looks inferior to me, par for many of Capcom HD remasters.)

I'll have more recs later when I have time to properly overuse my collection. I also want to point out that there are quite a few Wii VC and WiiWare games that are only available through those services that I wouldn't want to miss out on.

I second Dokapon Kingdom if you and some friends are willing to invest the time to play it. It's a huge time sink, but well worth it if you go through with it.

You might want to try:

• Monster Hunter Tri (but you might as well get Ultimate on the U)
• Elebits (NTSC)
• Link's Crossbow Training
• Pikmin 1 & 2 New Play Control! (if you haven't played the original games on the NGC)
• Animal Crossing: City Folk
• Spectrobes: Origins

I haven't played MadWorld myself yet, but it seems to be a pretty underrated game as well.

Can you guys tell me which of those suggested games DON'T require motion controls? I've been meaning to do the same thing as the OP, since I never owned a Wii, but motion controls have been a huge deal breaker for almost every game I tried.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll incorporate this into my OP so the list is complete

Well, basically every game has been said. I have one more though: Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. The reviews may not have been kind, but it's easily one the best games in the series.

Seriously, that's an awesome list. Might have to use it as a guide next time I go used game hunting.

I would strongly recommend picking up No More Heroes 1&2. Not only are they among the most violent Wii games, but they're just a lot of fun. Enjoyable minigames, nice little customization options, an interesting story. Along with RE 4 they are must-own Wii games.
