That certainly seems like a good list. I can't really think of more other than the ones you mentioned. For the Kirby games: Kirby's Return to Dreamland is really fun and plays like a traditional Kirby game (that and Superstar Ultra are my favorites), Kirby's Dream Collection would be good if you want to catch up on the past Kirby games (unless you prefer the Virtual Console), and Kirby's Epic Yarn is very different. Lots of people did like Epic Yarn, but others, like myself, didn't as much (I didn't hate it, but I never got around to finishing it, definitely not due to difficulty though...). You might want to look into that a bit to see whether you'd like it. As for the GameCube, those three games you mentioned are some of my favorites. I also love the Pikmin series, but if you want those, you'd probably want to go with the New Play Control versions for the Wii, since they are remakes. I'd also recommend Luigi's Mansion, and a lot of people seem to like Viewtiful Joe.

You have a awesome collection of games, but I'd also recommend Pandora's Tower (Wii).

For Wii you should try to get Project Zero 2 if you haven't played it on xbox or ps2 - you won't be dissapointed and it's a great remake. If you like horror games, you can give Cursed Mouintain a try - it's not bad too.

As for GC, good picks. If you haven't played Viewtiful Joe, try getting them - they're good games. Killer7 - if you love Suda51 games, then get it right now, you won't be dissapointed. Etarnal Darkness is a must if you like horror games.

Okay, let's sum it up for now. Since I've made that post, I've added two more games to the collection and one of them wasn't actually on the wishlist: Kirby's Epic Yarn and Mercury Meltdown: Revolution. About Kirby's Return to Dreamland (or Kirby's Adventure) - it's really hard to find at a decent price. Sealed at EBay is 40-70 pounds which is a lot. That one and Fire Emblem will be very hard to obtain. Not that Xenoblade and Last Story are a dime a dozen.
I totally forgot about the Pikmin series. Thanks, @CaptainCharlie. If I had to try one of the first two, which one should I get?
@ShadowFox254, adding Pandora's Tower to the wishlist. I've heard a lot about it but never actually checked what it was about.
@Dave24, I'll check Project Zero 2 and Cursed mountain, too. Not too keen on the horror genre, although Eternal Darkness seems like a really interesting game. Expanding my GC wishlist with it and these two: Luigi's Mansion and Viewtiful Joe.
Anything else?

I have most of the stuff you have.

I also have..... House of the Dead: Overkill, Sonic Colors, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Battalion Wars 2, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Toy Story 3, PokePark: Pikachu's Adventure, Excitetruck, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Excitebots and Red Steel 2. All worth checking out, I think.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also have Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure... LOL
The guy at the flea market gave it to me for free when I bought Excitebots. It's actually a decent game if you're into that sort of thing. It's the kind of game I wish I had when I was really young.

@RancidVomit86 - First of all, great user name =). Second, I've seen Battalion Wars 2 reviews, and many recommend it but I can't see myself playing it. It's just not my type of game. If I can come by it cheap I'll certainly give it a try, though.
And, @Gamecubed, a second recommendation for BW2 and a bunch of other games... Thanks for the input. I will most probably skip on Harry Potter and Toy Story as I generally don't enjoy movie games but Sonic, Monkey Ball, Animal Crossing, Excitebots and Red Steel were already on my radar. I don't know about PokePark... I've never played a Pokemon game, ever. Is this the best Pokemon on the Wii (VC and WiiWare included)?

You sir have a great Wii collection but you need the Last Story.

No problem. The Harry Potter game is okay, good if you're a fan... but if you're not, skip it. The HP games haven't been "excellent" since Prisoner of Azkaban. Toy Story 3 is still really fun though. Worth checking out of you grew up with the films as it is the game you wanted when you were a kid. There weren't a lot of "good" Pokemon games on Wii. There was PokePark: Pikachu's Adventure, PokePark: Wonders Beyond (haven't played it) and there's Battle Revolution, but it feels incomplete. There's Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Puzzle League on VC. Snap is fun, Puzzle League is just puzzles. Pikachu's Adventure is fun on a rainy day. It's certainly not the best place to start if you've never played a Pokemon game before though.

EDIT: I also strongly recommend checking out some of the Wii Hidden Gems videos on youtube. MetalJesusRocks has a good one (in fact I believe it's three parts). Epic Mickey is also another good game to look into.

Good collection. I have most of your games .. all except Go Vacation and Boom Blox but I want to add them to my collection.

Your collection is missing mostly titles you basically mentioned already: The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
But no good Wii collection is complete with the addicting multiplayer board game Boom Street / Fortune Street. Consider it if you have 4 player sessions.

Added Epic Mickey after a recommendation from @Gamecubed and a lucky find and bid. After seeing some reviews most of the people seem to think it's a great game with exellent story that deserved to be told, great mechanics and only the wacky camera behavior brings down the experience a bit.

Good collection, lacks a few games you should own though.
Red Steel 2 a great game, uses the Wii motion plus to make the best motion experience available on the system. You feel like a swordsman in it. I've played 3 times, and started a 4th playthrough.
Fire Emblem: Radient Dawn might be a little expensive to get, but it's a great strategy game I played a lot.

Got Red Steel 2 after recommendations from @Gamecubed and especially @Jaz007. It should be a great purchase for 2 pounds.
What do you guys think about Golden Eye 007's Limited Edition? It goes very cheaply and I can't think of a reason. A gold controller sold separately goes for twice as much as the limited edition, which is bundled with one.

GoldenEye for Wii is excelent and the online community is active a lot so you can find a lot of matches.

I also recommend you a lot to buy Turbografx and Neo Geo games. There are excellent games in that VC consoles. Also I recommend you to download SF Alpha 2 and SSFII (Genesis ver. has online but SNES ver has better music and visuals).

Me gusta jugar videojuegos. Soy de México. Sorry my english grammar. I love the Virtual Console, party and fighting games too.

Ste

you have a nice collection, may i recommend The Last Story (JRPG), Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Cursed Mountain (Survival Horror), Excite Bots Trick Racing and Mario KART (Racing), Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem and Beyond Good and Evil (Gamecube), and Mercury Meltdown Revolution (physics puzzler and can probably find it for less than $1)
Good Luck

Feel free to add me and contact me
Darn you Nintendo, my backlog is already out of control and you are just making it worse with these new game announcements!!!!

@hellje Sorry for the (super) late response (This is CaptainCharlie by the way)! I'm not sure about which Pikmin game to choose... I personally played Pikmin 2 first, so I like that one better, but there's a split in the fanbase. I think that split leans towards Pikmin 1, but I'm not sure. Both games are great though and each one has things that are a bit better!

@DarkEdi - I've just lost a bid on the Golden Eye Limited Edition and I'm furious =D. I'm certainly getting that thing. Good to read one more comment praising the game. I'm really interested in the local multiplayer as the Wii lacks a similar sort of experience. TurboGrafix and NeoGeo are a mystery to me. Don't know much about them. Will check some of the better titles just to form an opinion. SSF2 is definitely on my wishlist, though.
@Ste - Another vote for The Last Story... There must be something special about this game. Why the critics butchered it in the reviews is beyond me. 78% average is such a low score for an universally praised game. This and Xenoblade will be first in the list of purchases on the more expensive, hard to obtain side. Also, I have some of the games you've mentioned.
And @KingDunsparce - No problem. I see you've been promoted in rank in the meantime so the absence is justified =D. It's great to hear they're equally good, since I have a local shop selling the first one new for no more than 10 pounds, if I remember correctly. Thanks.

EDIT: Just wanna make a quick edit about the Golden Eye Limited Edition! I got it for 15 GBP like new condition! I don't think I've made such a great deal. A golden controller pro to go with my Skyward Sword WiiMote and a legendary game.
Also started my Gamecube collection with Super Mario Sunshine!
EDIT 2: And Luigi's Mansion!
EDIT 3: And Mario Kart: Double Dash and SoulCalibur II and The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker!
EDIT 4: Found a sealed bundle of DK: Jungle Beat with the bongos for very cheap. Then decided to make the purchase of the bongos more worthy and got Donkey Konga. I sure hope using the bongos is as fun as it looks.
EDIT 5: Great package deal got me Super Smash Bros Melee, Viewtiful Joe, Viewtiful Joe 2, Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, Shrek Superslam and Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II!
EDIT 6: Wii Party and Eternal Darkness, baby!
EDIT 7: Just Dance 2014 and A Boy and his Blob for the Wii and Paper Mario, Super Mario 64, Ogre Battle 64 and Secret of Mana for the VC!

Thanks guys for all your help!
I think I've managed to add a substantial value to my collection in the past few months. I'm missing e few more crucial titles but at least I know which ones to get. With the certain addition of Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, The Last Story, Paper Mario: TTYD, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (just waiting for the proper deals to come up) and maybe Pikmin 1 &/or 2, No More Heroes 2, Kirby's Adventure (Return to Dreamland), Sonic Colors, Mario Party 9, Pandora's Tower, Beat the Beat (Rhythm Heaven) and F-Zero GX my collection will be complete, although I'm positive I'm forgetting something even now.
My VC collection needs a few more additions too but all in all you and NL as a whole have been a great help.
Thanks again.
