Since Nintnedo will soon cease production on the Wii, what are the must have games on the system?

[telocaster]

I already own:

Kirby's Dream Collection
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario
Pikmin 2 Wii Version

Super Smash Bros. Brawl to me is a must own. My friends and I always have big Brawl tournaments and it never gets old. My favorite game on the Wii though is No More Heroes. You should check both of those out if you haven't already.

If you can get a hold of Muramasa, get a hold of the other two Kirby games as well.The Two "No More Heroes" games.

 

[redrefugee]

Fire Emblem, Little Kings Story, and Metroid (not the last one)

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

Xenoblade Chronicles is pretty great. I hear The Last Story is good, too.

 

[madwarper]

lolwut? Cease production on the Wii? They're currently testing the MiniWii in Canada [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escapist-news-wrap/6580-Gamers-Ask-for-GTA-V-PC-and-THQ-Sued-Over-Tattoo].

Anyway...

Resident Evil 4 (Wiimake) - The aiming with the Wiimote is a whole lot better than it was on the GameCube.
Rune Factory Frontier & Tides of Destiny - Harvest Moon + Action RPG elements.

Speaking of which, if you didn't already have a GameCube, get some controllers and Super Smash Bro. Melee. Much, much better than Brawl.
And, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem has some great WTF? moments, just drain your sanity meter ASAP.
Also, Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and the Collector's Edition[footnote]Contains NES LoZ and LoZ2, and N64 OoT and MM[/footnote] are worth grabbing.

Monster Hunter Tri was my favourite game for the Wii so I'll recommend that.

house of the dead the return & overkill to get your lightgun fix ^.^

Overkills been HD'd for ps3 move too though.

I second that. However i dont know for how long the online portion of the game will stick around.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

If it has Mario or Kirby in it, you want it. Other than that...

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Last Story
No More Heroes and 2
Red Steel 2
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Xenoblade Chronicles

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. Just as a side note, I unironically enjoyed Other M's gameplay so take my entry with a grain of salt.

 

[Xman490]

Sonic Colors and Mario Kart Wii, in case you like fast-paced gameplay

 

[Duck Soup]

A Boy and His Blob. Absolutely adorable. I had a lot of fun playing it.

I also really enjoyed Wario Ware Smooth Moves.

 

[Zeckt]

Xenoblade, Xenoblade and don't forget Xenoblade!

 

[babinro]

Metroid Prime 3 was my favorite game on the console. It's not as memorable as the first Metroid Prime but it's very well made and easily the most fun of the three.

Any Tiger Woods golf game with Wii motion plus is the definitive golf game experience IMO.

 

[DarklordKyo]

Xenoblade Chronicles
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor

 

[Azure Knight-Zeo]

Klonoa (possibly the best platformer on the console imo)
Muramasa: the Demon Blade
Sin & Punishment Star Successor
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Sonic Colors
Metroid Prime Collection (if you don't have the Gamecube ones)

 

[Squilookle]

I'm still waiting to see a game -any game- on the wii that is truly a *must have*

 

[Windcaler]

Monster hunter 3

That it really. Smash bros wasnt all that great compared to melee, I havnt been able to get into a zelda game since Orcarina of time came out, and I cant think of any other game that I played more then once. I suppose red steel 2 and Madworld were ok but I wouldnt call them must haves
