Serving as the origin story for the entire Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword tells the first version of the now-iconic legend of three ancient Goddesses capable of manifesting the greatest power imaginable — the Triforce. Due to benevolent forces, the Goddess of Hylia eradicated the threat to the Triforce, sending a large block of land to the sky, and consequently making the world uninhabitable. Many years later, that rock is home to a small society, who tell legends of a world down below.
When Zelda is taken to the unknown below by the winds of a tornado, young Link has to go find her. Its greatness, however, is mired by its motion controls.
The most novel aspect of Mario Kart Wii , like many Wii games, was its motion controls. Nintendo even bundled in the plastic wheel attachment with each copy of the game. With 32 tracks — 16 new, 16 from previous games — and battle mode, the Wii entry of the iconic racer delivered a relatively robust package that really hit its stride when playing on the couch alongside friends. You would be hard-pressed to find a better racing game for Wii.
Throughout the 2D side-scroller, you play as two different protagonists, with each section telling a different tale. The story was interesting enough and the dialogue was competent, but the game truly shined for its gameplay.
Although the combat boiled down to fast inputs, the RPG emphasis gave the mechanics a tactical layer that only became more enriching as your characters gained new abilities and techniques. From the always-interesting mind of game maker Suda51, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle expanded on the promise of the original Wii game to become one of the standout third-party hits on the console.
No More Heroes 2 once again put players in control of beam-katana-wielding Travis Touchdown as he returns to Santa Destroy after a three-year absence. With fun and zany boss fights — for example, a mech formed by combining a football star and cheerleaders — and fluid action-packed combat, No More Heroes 2 did everything the original did but better.
High development costs shifted development of the third console game in the long-running franchise to Wii. The result was one of the largest, most ambitious titles to arrive on the console.
If you enjoyed the gameplay loop and the constant grind, Monster Hunter Tri was a time sink that compelled you to keep going forward. Charged brings that fun to the Wii — with many features that worked in the original game and adding minor improvements across the board.
Motion controls are implemented sparingly, but to great effect — you can gesture to knock opponents off the ball or into the fence. Plus, Charged added a solid online multiplayer option, though it is no longer playable, due to servers being shut down. The sprawling, four-part campaign sees players take control of several different characters and factions spread across the war-torn land of Tellius, engaging in tactical, turn-based combat that requires a fair bit of thought and planning.
Developing your units properly is paramount to success, as battles become less and less forgiving throughout the game. In contrast to most Fire Emblem games, the story here feels a bit trite and undercooked, but the fantastic musical score and overall sense of weight behind the fighting provide a memorable atmosphere. It's a new adventure for Mega Man done in an 8-bit style-graphics, music and gameplay are all like you remember them.
With the Monkey Island world in tatters at the conclusion of the fourth Tales of Monkey Island chapter, we were left to wonder: Who can save the Caribbean?!

This adventure takes you far beyond the stormy isles as you experience the Rise of the Pirate God. Wario and his pals learn fun, wacky moves after discovering a strange book and a mystical device called the Form Baton.
Familiar characters from the WarioWare universe will return to this installment and some new ones will appear.

The WarioWare team took an idea so wacky, it could only be made with the latest technology WarioWare is back with a whole new set of moves. When Wario stumbles upon a strange device called a Form Baton, he and his friends use it to learn new moves that are as fun as they are wacky. With hundreds of microgames, this game is just as wild as you'd expect from the name WarioWare, but the game play has been revolutionized.

Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy and tells the story of year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school.
Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world. PES has been redesigned to make incredible use of the motion-sensitive nature of the Wii's control system. The player has more control over the on-screen action than ever before, and in line with such advances, Konami has also unveiled an all-new pack design that conveys the unique in-game visuals and ease of use while maximising its use of cover stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Owen.
Crucial to PES for Wii is an all-new control system that truly elevates the level of control available to the player while retaining the depth and intuitive moves of the series. Making use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the player must also consider the movements of their teammates around them.
The Nunchuck is used to move the current player, while the Wii Remote is used to pick out players to send them on runs or to receive passes via simple click and drag system which uses arrows to show the path of the run, and a press of the 'B' button to complete the move. Utilizing the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation.

The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay.

Sonic Unleashed is one of those games that people either love or hate. They love it because it brings a different dynamic to the Sonic franchise, or they hate it for the same reason. I love the fact that Sonic mutates into a Werehog in this game. Well, Egghead Eggman has released Dark Gaia on the world after destroying parts of the earth using his super-duper-Eggman-laser-beam.

What a way to start off this list of the best Nintendo Wii games! Before Breath of the Wild arrived on the scene, Xenoblade Chronicles was the biggest open-world title on any Nintendo console. If exploring and collecting games are your bag, then this is the Wii title for you. Players can move through the richly textured world using the Wii Nunchuck Controller and Wiimote. Side quests and enemies are hiding in every corner, and the game even has a day and night system that alters item availability, enemies, and other important factors like abilities and powers.
Xenoblade Chronicles makes use of the standard RPG battle view mode but differs from other titles with a real-time battle control system. Next up is an action role playing title of a very different design though is every bit as exciting to play. Many of our readers may well have finished Paper Mario: Origami King recently. Players are fighting to stop a guy called Count Bleck from destroying the universe, assumably by paper-cutting him into submission.
A lot of people have had mixed feelings over the turn-based battle system in Origami King. For me, Rayman titles are right up there with Mario and Sonic titles as some of the best platform games ever made, and Rayman Origins is a must-have game for any Wii collection. The side-scrolling levels stay true to the original Rayman and provide up to four players with a captivating adventure. So what is our floating-footed hero up to in the fourth instalment of his series.?
As with other Rayman titles, you must rescue Electoons and pick up new abilities along the way if you want to progress. There is plenty of collecting and enemy-stomping action for players to sink their teeth into, along with puzzles to test that grey matter. The Wii version has been rated highest out of all the major console ports, so grab a copy and try the best of the best!
Every Mario Tennis game has brought immense fun to gamers all over the globe, and Mario Power Tennis is certainly no exception. Ok, so we all know which the best tennis game is for the Nintendo Wii, but Mario Power Tennis provides a nice alternative by swapping Mii characters with some of your favourite Mushroom Kingdom faces. Squaring off in a doubles match against Wario and Waluigi never gets old, and the courts are all nicely portrayed along with camoes from other Mario characters watching from the sidelines.
If any readers have played Mario Power Tennis for the Gamecube , then this title is virtually the same. There are 18 different characters to choose from including the unusual tennis opponent Petey Piranha.
Each player has a power shot that they can use, hence the name of the game. The format is similar to Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and incredibly intuitive for first time gamers. Pikmin 2 is a game that infuriated me no end, which shows that it certainly had an effect on me. Any game that can make you shout and curse yet still come back for more time and time again is a special one, which is why Pikmin 2 deserves a spot in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games of all time.
Having said all that, I found Pikmin 2 easier to play than the original Pikmin game thanks to the removal of the day time limit. Like the original game, Pikmin 2 sees you controlling Captain Olimar as he explores an unknown planet using Pikmin to do his bidding.
This time, Olimar is joined by another spaceman called Louie, and they can take Pikmin around separately as they look for treasure. But what the heck are Pikmin, I can hear some of our readers shouting? Well, Pikmin are little microscopic plant people that are coloured based on their ability. Olimar can throw Pikmin to retrieve items or send them into battle against enemies. The overworld in Pikmin 2 has fewer enemies than the original game, leaving you to explore and experience the game without as much peril.
Next up on our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is Need for Speed Carbon , a high-speed racing game where the cops are definitely not on your side. Carbon is the 10th Need for Speed title in the series, which shows that gamers seriously love this franchise.
The gameplay revolves around illegal street races and battling rival gangs for driving glory. One of the best bits about Need for Speed games is the customisation options. My dad used to spend hours choosing the right colours and decals on his cars, only to unlock new features and go back to the drawing board all over again.
And of course, the multiplayer was amazing, providing a more mature racing experience for anyone kidding themselves that Mario Kart is for kids. Anyway, rant over. Resident Evil 4 is an epic title and one that works really well with the Wiimote and Nunchuck combination. You could always use the Wii Zapper peripheral for those uber-realistic zombie-slaying feels. The Wiimote acts as a gun pointer in this game, shooting wherever you point the remote on the screen.
The villagers in Resident Evil 4 are much smarter too. They can work together to try and stop you, wielding weapons and throwing projectiles in their mission to eat you alive. Fans of the PS4 game Ghosts of Tsushima will enjoy the samurai elements of this game immensely, especially as you can hack, slash, and parry using the Wiimote as your sword! One of the best bits about Red Steel 2 is that you can fight up to six people at once on screen.
Sometimes, however, it can be a bit Agent Smith Vs Neo, with tonnes of enemies queueing up to have a go at you! You play as the last surviving member of the Kusagari Clan, a fighter who must retrieve his sword from some evil lads who tried to drag him across the desert while tied to a motorbike!
