    People always talk shit about the Wii... but if those same people bought the top 10 games of this list and played them, I think they would be pretty happy with the console. It has a lot of great games, maybe not near a hundred like Xbox and PS3 but they are always way more original. Personally I like a good Zelda game much more than Arkham City that is out for every other console. By the way: There is no number 11.

    No Last Story, It's one of the best games i've played on any console. Other than that the list was pretty spot on. Could probably of done with Red Steel 2 as well come to think of it.

    ... both games are in the last, what's wrong with you? :|

    His comment was from a year ago, this list was recently updated.

    There is no reason at all for Rayman to be on that list... Both Endless Ocean games, Twilight Princess, Sonic Colors, Red Steel 2, The Resident Evil chronicles, All the games listed before it AND Monster Hunter Tri are eons better than that crap New Super Mario Bros Wii rip off... Some times I just don't get GR Lol

    its not just the gameplay that made rayman orignis great, but the art style and music, and i would place above NSMB honestly

    Dude... did you even play Rayman Origins? Seriously. That game is the tits. It's l almost like a mathematical certainty, really. If you need further clarification or embellishment, I will provide for you this engrossingly simplistic and clear equation, the better for you to understand: Ahem... RAYMAN ORIGINS == THE TITS That's like, graduate or even doctorate thesis level algorithmic logic and problem solving right there, condensed into one tremendously beautiful algebraic certainty. That's like on the same level of Einstein's E=mc^2, his special theory of relativity... and that one's just a theory, it's not even a certainty. And to think that you have me to thank for that. A law of the universe, right there. You're welcome, people. You're welcome.

    What a great list. My take (goddamn you Gamesradar for screwing up the formatting... I know it's coming but there's nothing I can do) 1) Super Mario Galaxy 2 2) No More Heroes 3) No More Heroes 2 4) Super Mario Galaxy 5) Endless Ocean: Blue World 6) Kirby's Epic Yarn 7) Red Steel 2 8) Zack and Wiki 9) Sin and Punishment 10) Muramasa

  • thochaos - April 9, 2012 12:41 a.m.

    Muramasa sucked hard but the rest of those games are solid. I would have put Resident Evil 4 on there even if it was just an enhanced port.

  • cusman - November 16, 2012 8:11 a.m.

    I loved Resident Evil 4 on Wii

  • NG14916 - April 8, 2012 4:34 p.m.

    Has everyone forgotten about Metroid Prime 3?

  • talleyXIV - April 8, 2012 2:15 p.m.

    Hello? Zelda: Twilight Princess??

  • codystovall - April 8, 2012 12:12 p.m.

    My least favorite consoles life is almost over Hurray!

  • GameManiac - April 8, 2012 9:50 a.m.

    I would've thought to have seen Okami in this list, especially with how much Gamesradar loves it.

  • Japanaman - April 8, 2012 8:35 a.m.

    My Top #25 (In No Particular Order) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Mario Kart Wii Muramasa: The Demon Blade House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return Ghost Squad Klonoa Wii Sports Resort Castlevania Judgement Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Animal Crossing: City Folk Goldeneye 007 Metroid: Other M Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution III Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Resident Evil 4 Sonic Colors Super Smash Bros. Brawl Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy 2 The Conduit Sin & Punishment Monster Hunter Tri New Super Mario Bros Wii

  • DecoyOctorok - April 7, 2012 4:15 p.m.

    NSMB Wii doesn't deserve to be on the list. GR only gave it a 7 and didn't seem to think much of it back when they talked about it on Tdar.

  • Squirrel - April 7, 2012 8:19 p.m.

    I entirely disagree, I love NSMB Wii. I think looking back on it a 7 was a pretty low score to give that game and now GR seems to acknowledge that since its on their top 25 list. Honestly I even liked NSMB Wii better than Rayman Origins and that reviewed inappropriately high on most sites.

  • mbavalo - April 7, 2012 1 p.m.

    I still see a Mario game appearing ever so often, and simply because of this, i choose not to believe the wii has an awesomely large collection of games. Yes there are good games but whenever i think wii, Mario appears in my head, and I would not want to stick with Mario for a whole console generation. Sorry wii, just not buying it

  • DecoyOctorok - April 7, 2012 4:12 p.m.

    That's your own problem then. Anyone that claims that the Wii was all waggling gimmicks never gave it a fair chance. It has plenty of great games.

  • ncurry2 - April 7, 2012 4:32 p.m.

    Well you must hate all video game systems then. Op, 360 has a halo. It sucks. Op, PS3 has a gran turismo. It sucks. Op, PC has a new sim city game. It sucks. Ever stop and consider that maybe Mario has remained a critical and commercial success for 25 years now because the games continue to evolve and deliver some of the best experiences on any console? Or did you play Super Mario Bros on NES and assume that every game after that was a remake?
