Topic: Wii Recommendations Thread

For that case any of the Lego games are great. All 3 Lego Starwars, the 2 Indy ones, Lego Batman and PotC.

@G4L, Super Paper Mario is what you need.

I'll pay $49.99 for it if it makes it to NA: mebbe Nintendo will bring us some other goodies before sending the wii off. Like Fatal Frame...

Couldn't be any more disappointing than Metroid Other M's story was to me. $49.99 for Daddy issues.

We don't discuss no Other Ms anymore. Not after...the internet war.

You're forgetting the horrible 3D camera and lame 2D sections in Epic Mickey.

Which one should I get, Donkey kong country returns or Rayman origins? I need a good plattformer and they both seem great!

DONKEY KONG!!!!!!!!

Ok, thanks to both of you! DK feels like a safe card!

Hi,

I really loved the whole Metroid trilogy: great graphics, FPS, great story line, and on and on. But now I'm done... I'm really looking for something similar. Yes, I know there's nothing exactly like that, but what would you recommend for someone who loves killing aliens?
p.s. I did get a couple of interesting replies before this was locked out. Thanks to those who replied already!
p. p.s. This part of the forum is looking pretty awkward. If this topic has 755 postings, why doen't it rate its own forum section?

I'd like to know why nobody has created a Wii Essentials thread yet? I mean, the Wii is nearing the end of it's relevant lifespan.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that you at least consider MDK2 on WiiWare. It's 1000 points ($10). It's a port of a PC game from years ago. Here's a link to NL's review:

have a look at sin and punishment: star successor. the gameplay is more space-harrier ish than metroid prime, but the FPS aspects of that game are a lot similar.

Make one yourself you think we need it, and no one's done it yet.

@the dude asking for games like Metroid Prime 3

The Conduit and Red Steel 2 are your best bets.

@Mickeymac, I might just do that.

I am offended by this comparison.

It's better than the second game,even if it is a poor shooter.

It's an FPS where you shoot aliens and it actually has a decent story. Those were the only criteria the poster set, so it fits.

@Willerz: Get Xenoblade it is AWESOME. I'm 56 hours in! The game can be frustratingly difficult, but when your not throwing a controller over the few overpowered bosses it is really fun. Running around the world is great and the fights are outstanding. Easily one of the greatest games this generation.

@SomeBitTripFan, I'll definitely second that.

Can someone please inform me as to how much playtime I should expect to receive from, "Wario Land Shake It!"? Say, if you desire to return to it again someday. After you've unlocked and collected everything, does it provide any type of replay value? Or should I say, is it an enjoyable enough experience to return to it someday?

To be quite honest, I wished Nintendo would rename it Wario Land Shake that Replay Value Everywhere because there's way too much of It!

No seriously, every level has multiple achievements that provide worthy replay value. Every level also has a mandatory three treasure chests to find. There are over thirty levels, plus some pretty epic bosses. The challenge is pretty hard yet fun. Sometimes I felt like it was impossible but after time I figured it out and it was so creative how GoodFeel lays out the levels. There's also a pretty good surplus of content to unlock. I've spent nearly 25+ hours on it and I'm not even done yet. Did I mention there are secret levels?

^{I liked Wario Land Shake It! so much, I prefer it to Super Mario Galaxy 1.}
