    Pretty nice list, I gotta say. I still don't regret not getting a wii, but there's definitely several games here that I'd like to play someday, so perhaps one day I'll might just buy a wii for cheap and get several of these.

    "As time goes on, memories of the Wii's failings are replaced with celebrations of its successes." Just couldn't do it could ya? Even when making a list of some of the best games this generation, or ever, someone on the staff couldn't help but take an unsupported stab at the Wii. What are the "failings"? Do you mean things you personally didn't like? Do you include this phrase for all other best of articles, because every console has something someone could call a failing? This is why gaming journalism can't be respected. There are no standards, no promise of objectivity.

    Again, love how you keep rambling about objectivity when you're being a clear fanboy. I'm guessing you're ignorant of what "hypocrisy" means, hm? or maybe you just love being one for the hell of it?

    I have to agree with him Falcon. It is a list of best games, to say something like that is just unnecessary.
  • clownferret - February 13, 2013 3:01 a.m.

    good list and there are a few games on there I had not even heard of, so will be tracking them down. However, there simply has to be a Tiger Woods game on here. 4 player online Tiger with motion controls is a close to the real thing as you can get and was an absolute revolution. Playing with a traditional controller now seems ancient and in my opinion no game made a better argument for motion controls over graphics than TW10 and onwards.

    Wii entirely matches up to other consoles. No not in online play or graphics, but if you play those top 15 games you will not find any games on PS3/360 as original as those. Just buying a Wii for Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby, and Mario alone will give you days of serious entertainment. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii are months of fun with friends. Then all the great third party games like No More Heroes, Rayman: Origins, Little King's Story, etc. No games? If you think the Wii has no games, you have no taste in games.

    Seriously confused about Twilight Princess missing.... I think it is better than Skyward Sword, at least in story and characters.
  • winner2 - February 12, 2013 7:21 p.m.

    Agreed, TP's one of my all time favorite games, although I had it for GC instead of the wii. I have yet to get skyward though, so I can't compare.

    Seriously I'm glad Okami didn't make the list, it is WAY over rated imo. Just stick to Zelda if you missed it, I remember playing that game and it just felt like rehash boss after rehash boss until the game ended 10 hours to late. I did like the world but the gameplay with in it was just Meh. Maybe I should have tried out the Wii version and played it with the Wii remote or maybe if I'll get the PS3 HD update if it supports the Move Lol.
  • TheMariner - February 12, 2013 10:32 a.m.

    What's this? A GR article on Wii games without Okami? I thought you were rabidly in love with that game. Or was it merely left out because it was originally a PS2 game?

    Crud... posted where I shouldn't have, my bad, feel free to delete these >>;

    Good to see Tatsunoko vs Capcom in top 10. I modded my wii several years ago thinking that the game was never going to get a release in US so that I can play a torrent version of it. Then it gets announced with 3 additional characters. This game was fantastic. BAROQUE, BAROQUE, ADVANCING GUARD!
  • FunkyPickle - February 12, 2013 9:25 a.m.

    I still prefer the other 3D Mario games over Galaxy's linearity, but it definitely is the best platformer on the Wii. I'd say Kirby's Return to Dream Land was much better than Yarn, though, the gameplay and Kirby fan service was amazing.
  • artcellrox - February 12, 2013 12:53 a.m.

    I'm gonna blame it on the fact that it's dark and that I can't see, but also, one other things: GAMESRADAR! IF YOU'RE GOING TO UPDATE THE OLD LIST INSTEAD OF MAKING A NEW ONE, PLEASE SAY SO! I just went through loads of the older comments, replying to people who thought certain games weren't in the list. Only in the oldest page, I noticed the date and realized I was replying to almost year-old comments! D; I hope everyone can forgive me for this, but other than that, solid new list. Looks like you took in mind a lot of the things people had suggested before.
  • shawksta - February 11, 2013 9:45 p.m.

    Great article, the fact that people are argueing over other games not on the list shows that the Wii has one heck of a library and as it should. People do the mistake that the Wii is a 360/PS3 when its not, its library of exclusives are what sets it apart. Its hard for people to Understand why Galaxy 2 is praised as it should, game design wise its exactly what we need in the industry.
  • Cutter9792 - February 11, 2013 9:11 p.m.

    It's funny, when I clicked on the link to this, the first thing it said was "About:Blank", so I thought the list would be completely empty. Which would be appropriate I guess.

    2nd guy from left in trauma team looks like spike spiegel if you take away the stubble
  • shawksta - February 11, 2013 9:44 p.m.

    Yeah well its atlus, their nutorius for references, the first girl on the left is a Dark Skinned Chie, and they also used the model of the guy your talking about for the protag of Catherine
  • winner2 - February 12, 2013 7:19 p.m.

    Ah, that makes sense. I haven't played the game or Catherine, and I don't know who chie is so I didn't get the reference. Makes sense that they'd reuse models though. That just jumped at me a bit.
