I've never really been a huge gamer. I still play my Sega and NES and occasionally break out the 64 for some Perfect Dark action, but that's about it. I've been meaning to get a Wii for a while now- just to wind down with a beer or two after work- and I snagged one a few days ago for a good price. Dizzamn, I'm addicted.

It came with Super Mario Galaxy, and I got Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart, Boom Blox Bash Party, Excitebots, Okami, Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, and Metroid Prime 3. I haven't played all of them yet, 'cause Excitebots and Galaxy are keeping me busy. EDIT: oh yeah, and Mario Kart online... I can't stop playing it >.<

I like fun, addictive multiplayer games (any genre, really) and immersive adventure/RPGs. What are some good games? Muramasa looks awesome- eeeeek, might have to get that soon.

Little Kings Story is my favorite wii game so far, I'd suggest looking up on that, also have a look at the shopping channel, loads more games there.

Mario strikers charged is a very fun and addictive multi-player game if that's what you're looking for.

If you haven't opened metroid prime 3 yet, return it and exchange it for Metroid Prime Trilogy. It has Metroid Prime 1 & 2 for GC and Metroid Prime 3 all on one disk for $47 on Amazon.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

Resident Evil 4. I don't believe I played it on the other consoles, but I think it kicks but with the wiimote. Pretty awsome.

I got Prime 3 on ebay for $12. If I dig it, I'll probably end up getting Trilogy.

Oh shite. I wonder what the online play is like.

I was watching my friend play this game the other day, and she was getting dominated by zombies.

Welcome to NintendoLife, goodbyegalaxy.

Your question's a tough one for other people to answer, because your preferences are yours. In general, letting us know what kinds of games you like and perhaps naming a few of your previous favourites would help others with similar tastes give you their kindred opinions.

Have a look through our review section, and don't forget about WiiWare and Virtual Console, too. There are LOT of quality games out there to play on your new Wii - but there are also many clunkers. Doing a bit of research in addition to taking recommendations will help you navigate through the clutter.

Good luck and enjoy your Wii!

With the games you have i prefer to not recommend any new one for now. I sugest you to play all of them and when you get bored, look for something else.

Sell Metroid Prime 3 and buy Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid Prime Trilogy is by far the best Wii game ever made.

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

I never noticed we had a user named Warios Ass, but it appears you've been around for some time. Perhaps that unfortunate hijack / name change was meant for you?

Twitter is a good place to throw your nonsense.

Wii Sports Resort. This is not only fun by yourself, but I know my girlfriend and I still come back every so often and play the sword fighting and frisbee golf. WSR is a must-own, if you have a wii, so you can fool around with the Wii Motion +.

Not sure if you like action games but No More Heroes is at least worth a rental. You can pick it up for under 20 bucks.

lol Yea, I've been around for a while now. I picked the name myself because Wario is the man, and I thought it was funny.

Tanks for the welcome. I wasn't exactly looking for people to suggest games that they thought I would like, but games that they like that would be worth checking out.

Punch-Out!! is great. I also recommend Let's Tap, you can get it for about $30 and it's a awesome party game.

Leap before you think!

WarioWare is really fun with friends, if you do the microgames in a "perverted" way.
And you should have gotten Metroid Prime Trilogy instead of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, since all 3 Metroid Prime games are in Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Welcome to the family goodbyegalaxy, its a great time to be a Wii owner maybe not so good for your pocket tho hehe, here are my recommendations:

  • PunchOut!!! - (Simply awesome!!)
  • Shaun White Snowboarding - (Nice stylish graphics, good multi-player, very fun and addictive!)
  • The Conduit - (forget the hype and the hate, pick it up cheap, very fun online multiplayer fps)
  • Trauma Centre: New Blood - (awesome use of motion controls, great co-op mode)
  • Wario Land: Shake Dimension (Good 2d fun with gorgeous hand drawn graphics)

Enjoy!
