The Wii opened gaming to everyone with its motion controller and a worldwide smash: Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda Skyward Sword, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This Top 50 gathers the console's best, re-tested and re-ranked by RomWize, each title with its re-evaluated score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Cult Nintendo rhythm game with minigames in sync with the music. One-button play, perfect timing, irresistible cartoon charm. Two-player local multi, brilliant party game and still one of the best Wii titles to discover today."
"Strategy-adventure by Yasuhiro Wada (Harvest Moon) about managing a miniature kingdom. King Corobo recruits peasants, soldiers and artisans, expands borders, slays monsters. Adorable art direction, writing full of weird humor, whimsical medieval atmosphere. Real strategic depth, demanding learning curve. Underrated Wii gem, an absolute discovery for anyone who loves audacious genre blends."
"Visceral and EA rail shooter set in the Dead Space universe. Precise pointer aim, tight prologue narrative, two-player local co-op. An ambitious Wii exclusive that delivers for genre fans, recommended for SF horror lovers."
"Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 on Wii with Wii MotionPlus for more precision. Excellent iteration with MotionPlus for realistic swings, one of the best golf simulations on Wii."
"PES 2009 on Wii with 2008-2009 season teams and competitions. Notable improvement over the first Wii title, more polished motion controls, interesting football experience on the console."
"Nintendo Skip Ltd. action-adventure starring a helpful little robot. Domestic exploration, mini-quests helping household residents, tender humour. A charming Japanese curiosity, recommended for fans of toy-scale adventures."
"Radical reimagining of Silent Hill 1 by Climax Studios. Harry Mason searches for his daughter Cheryl in a snow-covered Silent Hill, but no combat: just flee from creatures. Therapy sessions with a psychiatrist that alter the adventure based on your answers, fragmented narrative. Episodic first-person camera, remarkably oppressive atmosphere, Akira Yamaoka BGM. A unique horror experience, more psychological than classic survival."
"Essential compilation bringing together the six Star Wars films in bricks (episodes I to VI), remastered and expanded. Over 160 characters, levels from both trilogies revised with additions, unforgettable cantina hub. Exemplary local co-op, peak pantomime humor, huge runtime with endless collecting. One of the best TT Games LEGOs, constant nods to source material. An absolute must-own."
"Wii rerelease for Mario's 25th anniversary, compilation of Super Mario Bros, Lost Levels, Mario 2, Mario 3 and Mario World (depending on versions). SNES Super Mario All-Stars HD remasters, plus 32-page illustrated booklet on Mario history. Very desirable limited collector edition, no real gameplay revolution but max nostalgia. For Mario fans wanting classics on one disc."
"Trauma Team changes the Trauma Center formula by following seven doctors with different specialties in a hospital drama. Surgery, diagnosis, first response, forensics, each specialty has its own gameplay with dedicated Wiimote control. TV-series-style episodic storytelling, plot thickens steadily. Tense, educational and surprisingly moving. Atlus knows how to tell a medical story beyond scalpel simulation. Series peak."
