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.
"Sequel to Rhythm Tengoku DS, international release finally available. Around fifty mini-games to execute on tempo, simple button mechanics but devilish timing. Hilarious visual presentation, eclectic and earworm soundtrack, fierce learning curve. Medal mode for perfectionists, friendly local multi. A rhythm masterpiece finally localized, absolute discovery for any genre fan."
"Wii port of Call of Duty with pointer aiming. Decent feel, faithful campaign, online multi active back then. Visible technical compromises versus HD versions, but the Wii FPS experience remains one of the more solid on the console."
"Rune Factory Frontier, Marvelous farming RPG sim where Raguna arrives in the floating town of Trampoli. Crop farming, animal raising, romance with townspeople, action RPG dungeon exploration. Unique Rune mechanic where energy fuels both magic and farming. Harvest Moon-typed art direction, tender pastoral atmosphere, massive runtime. Best Rune Factory according to many fans."
"2D action-RPG by Vanillaware, sublime hand-painted art direction. Two protagonists traverse Edo-era feudal Japan, wielding one hundred and eight forged blades with mastery. Fluid sword combat with sublime animations, side-scrolling exploration with villages and dungeons, signature Vanillaware zen cooking. Rich Japanese mythology, generous runtime. Studio's visual pinnacle on Wii, memorable artistic experience."
"WayForward platformer with a shape-shifting blob. Gorgeous cartoon animation, blob transforming into tools, tender and wistful mood. A successful remake of the NES game, recommended for fans of accessible puzzle-platformers."
"Square Enix Japan compilation of the first three Famicom and Super Famicom Dragon Quest games. Clean emulation, scanned manuals, faithful historic content. An excellent collection for saga fans and classic JRPG lovers in import."
"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."
