A lot of people remember the Wii by its mini game collection games like Rayman Raving Rabbids, Carnival Games, and Wii Party. While that’s certainly true, the Wii got a number of middling single player games, and other types of games I won’t talk about here. Here’s 10 I think you may find interesting. All of them got between a 70%-79% on Metacritic. So they are decent, but almost all of them lacked enough content to justify the $50 price tag.
-
Deadly Creatures - Picture - Play as a tarantula or scorpion and perform old-school God of War type finishing moves. This game really is one of kind in its premise. It plays most similarly to action adventure games like God of War, Devil May Cry, and Ninja Gaiden.
-
Cursed Mountain - Picture - A mountaineer searches for his lost brother in the Himalayas in this survival horror game. Content with spirits of lost climbers and angry monks via Wii waggle controls.
-
Disaster: Day of Crisis - Picture - A rail shooter centering around a former U.S. Marine. This game has you performing all sorts of quick time events in the middle of cinematic action sequences.
-
The KORE Gang - Picture An action adventure game 10 years in the making about a robot suit saving Manhattan from a civilization emerging from underground. It’s fairly cartoony and zany.
-
The Conduit 1 & 2 - Picture The first game had a lot of hype surrounding it as one of the few first person shooter Wii games, in a time when first person shooters were insanely popular. These are futuristic shooters with high quality graphics for the Wii. Both focus around the single player campaign, but the first does have online multiplayer, and the sequel has online and offline multiplayer as well.
-
Rabbids Go Home - Picture I know this is a Ubisoft game and that Rabbids are popular, but I feel like the various mini game collections overshadowed this entry. This is an action adventure game with a beginning and an end, focused on the Rabbids collecting all types of items to build pile on top of each other in order to reach the moon.
-
Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces - Picture An aerial combat game with optional motion controls - you can use a controller if you want. A second player can jump into the action and fire at enemy plans, but they aren't controlling a plane like the first player.
-
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor - Picture An on rails shooter and a sequel to the 2000 Japanese exclusive Nintendo 64 game. Just like Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, a second player can join in and control a reticle, but they don't get to control a character like the first player.
-
Pandora's Tower - Picture This is an action role-playing game, and one of three JRPGs under Operation Rainfall - a fan campaign that seeked to bring Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower North America (all three were eventually brought over). The protagonist Aeron explores the Thirteen Towers to save his lover Elena from a curse.
-
Battalion Wars 2 - Picture This one was actually published by Nintendo, but I still feel like I haven't heard about outside Advance Wars message boards in years. This is a real time tactics game, and was actually going to carry the Advance Wars name at one point. You play as a ground troop in a third person perspective and issue orders to other ground infantry, tanks, and planes.
Hope you enjoyed this blast from the past. I was just reminiscing about the Wii and hadn’t heard about any of these games in years, so I figured I’d try to generate some discussion around them if anyone here has played any of these or wants to discuss other forgotten Wii games. There's a lot more that could be named - I could probably do a list with 50 of these. The Wii really did have a lot of good games that just needed to be priced a little lower.
