Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. I know there are a lot of games on the Wii that are technically better. The Metroids, Zeldas and Marios are all superb games, but this one title has totally changed the way I view video games. It has such great atmosphere, it's the first game to ever make me care for a character in the same way moa movie does, the lack of combat means you're just exploring and taking it all in and focusing on the amazing feeling of isolation. Usually combat is seen as an essential part of a game but this shows it's not necessary if you're just including it because you feel you must have something to kil in such a game.
Great post! I also really loved that game. Atmosphere is huge for me in games.
My favorite game though would have to be Little King's Story. There was just something so magical and inviting about that game. It made want to play the heck out it. Never got bored. There was always something new to see and unlock. The bosses were creative and fun. And the ending was spectacular!
Followed by: Super Mario Galaxy 2, Okami, Skyward Sword.. (the classics)
I'd say shattered memories as my favorite. brawl, galaxy, twilight princess, and metroid are all up there.
I've never played shatterd memories, but the 4 others you named have to be the best WIi games out there.

It's a coin-flip between Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, with Little King's Story, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Rhythm Heaven Fever all competing for third.
Okami and RE4 would be in the mix too, as they're both among my all-time favorites, but I don't really consider them to be Wii games (you should definitely play them if you haven't already, though!).
Would purchasing a copy of, "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption," leave me lost, because I haven't experienced its predecessors? Would I be doing the series an injustice by only experiencing Prime 3?

Yes. No seriously, see if you can track down a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy. It's well worth it.
I recommend getting the first two games for the gamecube. As great as the third game is, it's even better once you've played the first two games before it, IMO.

Metroid isn't really a series that needs to be played in any particular order. Just play them in the order you get around to them.
I'm no SH guru by any means. I've beaten both the original SH and Shattered Memories, plus played a tiny bit of SH2. But for me, if SH: SS didn't have any sort of motion control implimentation whatsoever AKA The PS2 version I'd label it as a PASS. It doesn't meet the standards of the original SH in terms of well....pretty much everything. It wasn't disturbing, it wasn't unsettling, scary nor was the atmosphere brooding and the single enemy(which goes through a couple of different slight alterations depending on how you answer questions) were very uninspired and stock/generic design-wise. You can tell Team Silent wasn't behind this one and that it was Westernized.
That's exactly what I liked about it. I don't want to take anything away from the original Silent Hill, but I find monsters and combat in such games to be incredibly tedious. If you're a tourist visiting an isolated town, you're not really going to be finding weapons, never mind ammo, just lying around anyway. To be honest, they could have even taken out the chase scenes in Shattered Memories and I'd still love it just as much - for me the game was the exploration, isolation, atmosphere and the puzzle solving. There's not a single monster they could have put in that game that I'd have found scary - I just don't find monsters and ghosts scary at all (probably because I don't believe in them). However the unkown in terrifying to everyone - sometimes not seeing works the best and, if you eliminate the combat, you don't have to see. Simply walking around and hearing noises, receiving creepy text messages and possibly seeing something move in the shadows is all the "monsters" I need.
Besides the main emotion I felt in that game was not fear but sadness. No game has ever scared me before and no game has ever made me feel sad before - until I played through this. That's why the game is a masterpiece to me.
I'm a pinball-loving mutant, so I'll go with Williams Pinball Classics which is the game that sold me on buying a Wii (despite the fact I had to wait four years for System 3 to publish it in the UK).
