The Wiimote acts as a gun pointer in this game, shooting wherever you point the remote on the screen. The villagers in Resident Evil 4 are much smarter too. They can work together to try and stop you, wielding weapons and throwing projectiles in their mission to eat you alive. Fans of the PS4 game Ghosts of Tsushima will enjoy the samurai elements of this game immensely, especially as you can hack, slash, and parry using the Wiimote as your sword!
One of the best bits about Red Steel 2 is that you can fight up to six people at once on screen. Sometimes, however, it can be a bit Agent Smith Vs Neo, with tonnes of enemies queueing up to have a go at you! You play as the last surviving member of the Kusagari Clan, a fighter who must retrieve his sword from some evil lads who tried to drag him across the desert while tied to a motorbike!
Wielding a katana is one thing, but using your Wiimote to swing a lightsaber around is another thing entirely! This title has its own place between the first two series in the Star Wars timeline, not in the order that they came out. It lets you use the Force, for crying out loud! Up next in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is one of my favourite multiplayer games of all time; Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. How best to describe this game for someone who has never played it before…?
My mates and I spent hours on this game, wielding the Wiimote in all manners to try and come out victorious at the end of the round.
Nintendo sure knows how to do couch co-op games well, and the Wii was a console that certainly brought people together. If you want a change from slugging baseballs or skiiing down a slope, then give Smooth Moves a try. First up is Mario Strikers Charged , a mad Nintendo take on a football match with all of the items you might expect from Mario Kart and more besides making an appearance.
Thanks to the WiFi connectivity, you can actually play other users all over the world. The pitches on Mario Strikers Charged all have various elements that make play more lively or, in most cases, more difficult, There are obstacles to tackle and lots of items to either collect or avoid as you try to go for goal.
Any game where you might get flattened by a Chain Chomp is a winner in my book! Everyone loves a Mario Party game. The only thing that ground my gears about this game was the fact that the main mode never seemed to go into widescreen and always stayed in Mario Party 8 sees players moving through different boards as they collect coins and try to buy stars.
The boards are introduced and compered by MC Ballyhoo and his weird talking hat that spouts out coins…. At the end of every round is a game where players can compete for coins.
Once bitter console rivals, Mario and Sonic put their differences aside back in when they co-hosted their first Olympic Games title. Seeing Bowser tackle a canoe sprint or Eggman show-jumping is something else, and Sonic could certainly give Usain Bolt a run for his money! Why is London my favourite edition? I guess it was just the most popular at the time because of the Olympics being in the UK. This is another great game if you want your kids to exercise without them knowing it.
This is a no brainer for large family get-togethers or if you and your mates are revisiting the delights of couch co-op gaming. One of the best N64 games returns with an updated version for the Nintendo Wii. The bond character looks and sounds more like Daniel Craig than Pierce Brosnan.
The appearance of some characters have also been modified, and some have been omitted entirely. Instead of a watch to scan documents, Bond now has a phone too. The multiplayer still boasts all of the features that made this game so great on the N64, however. Next up on our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is Wii Fit , the 8th best selling game of all time for any console with 43,, copies sold! Nintendo perfectly executed the active play dream with the Wii, and Wii Fit and the accompanying Wii Balance Board added a whole new way to exercise… or play… exerplay?
The Wii Balance Board is pressure sensitive, meaning that it can sense how much pressure you exert with one or both of your feet at the same time. This meant that you could use it for everything from step aerobics to ski slaloming on the Mii games. Either way, it was way more than a gimmick. This game and accessory combo was a huge success for Ninty and yet another example of why the Wii was close to becoming the best selling home console of all time!
Kirby must help Prince Fluff by collecting magical yarn in order to stitch Patch Land back together. Instead of stealing enemies abilities like in Smash Bros, Kirby can turn into other objects such as a tank or a submarine in order to progress through the many levels. Any fans of the best SNES games will be all too familiar with this next entry on our list. Expect all of the same vine-swinging and rhino-riding action as the first Donkey Kong Country game, as well as Donkey and Diddy teaming up to reclaim their banana hoard.
Donkey Kong Country Returns does away with the old pre-rendered graphics of the original title and brings in beautifully textured levels that add depth via faded backgrounds. Some of you might be wondering where the first Super Mario Galaxy title is in this list.
This game series certainly brought about the idea of Super Mario Odyssey and shares many similarities with its successor. In Galaxy 2, Mario hops through various galaxies as he searches for Power Stars in a bid to not only save the universe, but also, and you guessed it, save Peach from Bowser. Brawl in it, did you? This version has 39 playable characters, which was the most of any Smash Bros game at the time too.
I also like how characters such as Link and Samus have been upgraded too, appearing more like their Wii game variants rather than using classic designs from different consoles. My one complaint with Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the Wiimote itself, but thankfully, gamers could use other controllers to get into the Smash action. Over 38 composers clubbed together to work on the score for this title. Every song adds to the tension of the battle, with many themes from the different levels being recreated in true Smash Bros-style.
If you like fighting games, Nintendo characters, and beating your friends at games, then this is a title you need. It follows bad-ass heroine and galactic bounty hunter Samus Aran, one of the coolest characters in the Nintendo Franchise and a go-to cosplay character for gamers around the globe.
Samus can pick up extra abilities and suit upgrades as she progresses, using her trademark bombs and grappling hook to uncover more secrets and hidden areas. These are three games that you will find seriously hard to put down and ones that I have frequently replayed over the years.
The Wii gave us not one, but two Zelda games! Slashing Bokoblins and angling your slices to kill Deku Babas was incredible, and using the Nunchuck to knock back enemies made you feel as though you were right there wearing a green tunic with him!
The Sailcloth would go on to become one of the most used items in Breath of the Wild in the form of the Glider. Man, I love that thing! I loved it, but there is another Zelda Wii game that I just loved more!
Up next in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is a title that everyone will have played before. Mario Kart Wii revolutionised the series by allowing us to actually turn our controllers to move karts and bikes. The courses are all incredibly exciting to play through and are jam-packed with the twists, turns, items, and hazards that make Mario Kart games so damn addictive. Once again, this is a title that anyone can pick up and play without having any previous gaming experience.
The addition of bikes into the Mario Kart series was a nice touch too, as was the jump boost you could use while going over ramps. Who would have thought that pieces of white plastic would cause so many scrambles when playing this game! Note to readers — buy enough of these to go around. Mario fans can breathe a sigh of relief now that the original Super Mario Galaxy has finally arrived in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games!
The gravity element adds a whole new dimension to play, with Mario sometimes appearing on the sides of planets or upside down as he runs around. You can even play as Luigi once you have collected enough Power Stars! Come on; you know it makes sense! Wii Sports is the 4th best selling game of all time over any console and the top-selling Wii game with 82,, copies sold! This game was the main selling point of the Wii, showing off what the Wiimote could really do.
Almost everyone can point a remote at a TV, and using a Wiimote is no different. The thrill of getting a Home Run still feels amazing today, especially because I am terrible at baseball in real life!
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a classic Zelda adventure from start to finish and thoroughly deserves a place at the top of our best Nintendo Wii games list! Originally meant for the GameCube, Twilight Princess was one of the first games that appeared on the Wii back in It later came out for the GameCube and was the last Nintendo-made game for the portable purple console.
This Zelda outing made a nice change from the brief foray into cell-shaded territory with Wind Waker. Hyrule looks amazing on this game, and being able to interact with people in the market town and heading back to Death Mountain again felt incredible.
In some ways, it only feels like yesterday! The Nintendo Wii is the most popular Nintendo home console of all time. It beat the PS3 and the Xbox by about 24 million units. The most popular Nintendo console home and handheld is the Nintendo DS, selling The most recent came in with Just Dance arriving on shelves. Most of the Best Nintendo Wii games are second-hand, though some people will have bought copies and kept them sealed or in mint condition.
The same applies to other hyperlinked games for other consoles that might crop up through the article too! Check out the best games for the console as well as lots of juicy facts and figures below!

Some may prefer the more open-ended experience of its predecessor, but Blue World includes a solid story mode for those who prefer a more guided experience. Overlord was a criminally underrated franchise from the late s that featured the titular evil Overlord commanding dozens of minions to do his bidding, Pikmin -style.
While it may be a little more simplistic than the other two Overlord titles released for the Xbox and PS3, Dark Legend remains a fun, solid example of what developers could accomplish when they put a little bit of extra effort into their Wii titles. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox! Unfortunately, the heyday of point-and-click games is long past, and the game sold abysmally.
Capcom initially showed interest in a sequel, but the characters seem to be completely abandoned at this point. The result was a pretty cool little experiment with surprisingly high production value for a third-party Wii game. Billy Bob Thornton and the late Dennis Hopper actually provide the voices of two humans who appear throughout the story. Shiren the Wanderer is a series of extremely difficult roguelike RPGs that have sporadically appeared in the West over the years. The Wii version was actually one of the first titles in the series to come to the U.
The graphics are on the poor side, yet the unique creature designs do have a certain charm to them. And while it remains a tough game, this version of Shiren is actually more forgiving than its predecessors. At its core a survival horror title, Cursed Mountain immediately stands out for both its setting and gameplay. Like many of the underrated games on the Wii, the gameplay can feel a little clunky and the visuals are rough on the eyes, but if you can get past those things, Cursed Mountai n offers a survival horror experience unlike any other.
One of the more promising results was MadWorld , a super-violent brawler which lets you use motion controls for all sorts of death and dismemberment in the midst of an insane game show. The most impressive part of MadWorld is the black and white noir-style graphics, which quickly become soaked in gallons of bright red blood as you cut your way through enemies. Even now, this is a great looking game. A sequel to one of the most beloved gangster movies of all time where the lead dies at the end sounds like sacrilege on paper, but Scarface actually turned out to be a pretty good game.
Publisher Vivendi actually hoped to turn Scarface into a multi-game franchise, which actually might have been a bit much, but the one and only game in the series remains a guilty pleasure for open-world fans. The Dead Space series produced several fantastic survival horror games that focused on dismemberment to stop hordes of undead Necromorphs.
While ports of any of the original trilogy would have been welcome on the Wii, Visceral did one better with an all new story played as an on-rails shooter. Unfortunately, like most mature-themed Wii games, Dead: Space Extraction saw little success. It was eventually ported to the PlayStation 3 , but now the entire series is sadly on hold. While the Arkham games might be the definitive take on the mature Batman most fans know and love now, The Brave and the Bold is actually the best version of the more fun-loving Batman younger fans are familiar with.
Thankfully, The Forgotten Sands is one of the few titles that bucked this trend. Ubisoft actually created an entirely separate game and storyline for this title.
It just happens to share a name with the HD title. Where this version really excels is the unique ability to control sand to solve puzzles. Prince of Persia on Wii may not quite exceed its big brother of the same name, but it comes very close.
Pac-Man Party also comes packaged with the original arcade game. The most fun part of Pac-Man Party is the party mode, where you'll travel around a kingdom with other players while trying to defeat them through mini-games.
There aren't too many board game-style games on the Nintendo Wii, so Pac-Man Party is something worth playing if you enjoy the party game genre. Similar to other Mario games on the Wii, Mario Party 8 was one of the top-selling games on the Nintendo Wii, which is one of the reasons that this franchise is still standing strong today with new entries.
If you've played any other Mario Party games, then you'll know how the gameplay works in Mario Party. You, along with a few other players or AI characters, travel around the map completing mini-games that are "Super Mario" themed. You get to play as your favorite Mario characters, including Luigi, Princess Peach , and even Mario himself. You can also spend in-game money on hotels that earn you stars. Nintendo designed this game specifically for party nights and to destroy friendships.
It features various mini-games that get unlocked as you progress through the game. The game's animation is a bit crude, but there inlies the novel appeal of the game and the character Wario himself.
This game made distinct use of the full gamut of technology featured in the Wiimote and undoubtedly contributed to the development of games like 1, 2 Switch. Unlike the previous two games, Hasbro Family Game Night is a collection of many board games that exist in real life. Playing these games on a screen is great because you don't have to set them up or clean up the pieces after playing.
The games included are Connect Four, Sorry! There were multiple sequels made for Hasbro Family Game Night since it was so popular among virtual party game enthusiasts, which is another reason why it's worth playing one of the games in this franchise.
Wii Party is the perfect game if you enjoy the mechanics of the Mario Party franchise but don't enjoy the Mario-themed gameplay. Essentially, Wii Party has mini-games throughout a match that determines the outcome of certain situations, contributing to the final winner.
