Yeah I would totally second Zack and Wiki, though I am stuck on one of the later puzzles (no point looking at a strategy guide).
Also, maybe A Boy and His Blob?
I swear I'm going to get around to play A Boy & his Blob soon. It's been sitting in my shelf for over a year now. This is what happens when you buy too many games at once, it all just adds up and you got lost in a sea of Nintendo. lol
Never will I buy anymore than 2 games at once, and I'll only do that once I'm done every other game I have or bought before hand.
Haha, I feel your pain. In like the past 2-3 months I bought (in order) Kirby's Epic Yarn (to relieve me of my Sonic Colors frustration), De Blob, Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, A Boy and His Blob, Zack & Wiki, Bayonetta, No More Heroes 2, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Dynasty Warriors 7, Samurai Warriors 3, and Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes and I've finished (100%) NONE of them XD.
Like I already finished Kirby's Epic Yarn's initial storyline, I'm 75% with A Boy and His Blob, 50% of De Blob and I believe 60% of Sin & Punishment but nearly everything else (except Dynasty Warriors 7 and Samurai Warriors 3 since I'm playing them right now) are no more than 25% completed. I went on this buying spree since all the games I REALLY want won't come out for a while. The next one is Child of Eden and the Wii games I want (except for Skyward Sword) aren't confirmed yet along with Sonic Generations.
But yeah, besides Epic Yarn, I had to dig for most of these games and I would say my favorites so far are A Boy and His Blob and Sin & Punishment (I also like No More Heroes 2) since those sucked me in right away. Sin & Punishment, though, is FREAKIN' HARD!!! Only playing on easy and I'm struggling to keep a high multiplier.
BlastWorks gets no respect but is totally awesome.
I didn't like Blastworks very much, to be quite honest. It felt like Tumiki Fighters, but not as addicting. Then again, I only bought it for Tumiki Fighters, too bad I couldn't motivate myself enough to unlock it.
And don't even get me started on Zak & Wiki. It's a terrible, terrible game and I hate it.
If you're a fan, I'd say try Ghostbusters the video game, overlooked perhaps in favour of the HD versions. Growing up in the 80s I loved the film and the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. The Wii version reminded me of the cartoon and I really liked the controls with the Wii remote. Sadly, has quite a few glitches that might freeze your game towards the end, but I found this a very replayable title.
Hmm yeah Ghostbusters was awesome, I basically sat in the one spot on the couch until I finished it. Not the longest game ever, but a blast while it lasts! (No pun intended)
I used to have a blog link here. I'll put it back up when the blog has something to read.
I hope Excitetrucks becomes part of the Nintendo Selects line.

@waveboy - sweet Jeebus, Excitebots looks insane! Wish they had released it in Aus!
Dude, the sensation of speed you get is off the charts and the motion tilt controls work wonderfully if you're a light Bot especially like the ladybug or bat for example. My only beef with the actual gameplay are those red bars, which you swing on for 10 seconds. It kind of makes the race come to a complete hault. and sticking to the ground when riding over hills wasn't as done as well as it could of been, your bot slightly hovers over bumps and you never really quite felt any solid tired to ground impact. But a great game nonetheless.
But hey, at least you Pikmin 2! I'm dieing to play that one on the Wii....Hopefully Nintendo anounces a release date in NA before the inevitable release of Pikmin 3.
Anyways, I really wish Nintendo would add weapons to their next F-Zero title, now THAT would be awesome.
True, I do need to pick up Pikmin 2 NPC, I bought the first one, which at least in my circle of friends is not looked upon very fondly? Not sure why... I think people hate Olimar in Brawl and don't want to take the punt on the games?
Another underrated game I just remembered is Spyborgs. It was released by Capcom and it's actually a pretty good brawler... Would have been nice to have a bit more variety in enemy characters but it was still totally overlooked by virtually everyone?
De Blob Nice if you're not looking for a big challenge or the most exciting gameplay ever but want a relaxing and refreshingly unique experience.
Disaster: Day Of Crisis If you got a PAL Wii and are in it for the standout scenarios. While sometimes just being mediocre and lacking story-wise I found it definitely had its amazing moments that make it stand out and make me glad i got it.
The Munchables More like a 7/10 game for me and maybe more suited to children but still refreshing and fun.
The House of the Dead Overkill, Ghost Squad, The House of the Dead 2&3 Return Nice rail shooter experiences. Plus in "Overkill" i really dig the Tarantino-esque cutscenes.
I suppose Muramasa's okay, but I've hardly played it.
Played through it and really liked it. I'd say it's kinda like the DS' Castlevania games with a more Japanese look and story to it. Okami came to mind while playing it.

I know this isn't the place for this, but why do you guys love Wii Music so much? I've never played it but heard awful things about it. (Kind of need motivation to go out and buy if you know what I'm trying to say, lol.)
Definitely Little Kings Story one of the best games I've ever played, used to like Zack & Wiki when it was first released but feel it has too many flaws really still pretty decent though think the wii offers far better nowadays.
If your a survial horror fan then don't miss out on Silent Hill Shattered Memories and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Also Excite Truck is great for an arcade racer that should not be overlooked.
To me, I can only think of 2 games. One Piece Unlimited Adventure just because of how great the game is to a One Piece fan, and also Wario Land Shake It! Its just a solid platforming game that gets overshadowed by Mario, Sonic (hahahaha), DK, and Kirby, but is pretty good
FF6: Release year- 1994 Kefka's birthday - November 9th So.... my life is practically mirroring Kefka? Cool.
