I actually have those at hand. Wasn't Rodea made by the hack that got arrested recently?
It had tons of weirdly fun little shits. Elebits, Zack & Wiki, Crystal Chronicles My Life as King, Little King's Story, WarioWare Smooth Moves, Boom Blox, Deadly Creatures, ExciteBots Trick Racing...
Especially in Crystal Chronicles' case some of those are little $10 eshop titles that were never worth more than that and only meaningfully distracted young teen me who had infinite free time, but they're worth collecting and booting up at least once to figure out what their deal is.
>Crystal Chronicles
I own this for Gamecube, actually. I should replay it. Wasn't there a rerelase recently?
Red steel 2 was good. About the only good motion control game I can think of. Other than that just play rpgs or nintendo games like metroid.
I heard you need the Motion+ accessory for it. I do have the first one tho, as I remember magazines back in the day hyping it up because "holy shit you move the controller like a sword!!" and kid me went nuts over that.
Play bowling like a true chad on wii sports and verse your older brother at tennis and get locked in the spam battle when the ball gets caught in the middle
yeah this is such a weird mindset. Naka was a huge innovator in the console space both in the games he spearheaded and the features he pushed for. he's had more than one dud (Ivy The Kiwi and Let's Tap also sucked) but i think his track record after Sega is more indicative of game development being reliant on the whole team rather than a single creative leading the way. homosexuals would rather meme about a game they've never even played than think about what they say though. rodea is fricking sick and one of the best platformers on the wii which is saying alot.

But seriously i'd love to see an updated version of this with expanded city building mechanics. the whole "reading reports on how your parties did in the dungeons" bit was tons of fun.

I only played and enjoyed MySims 1 which was pretty comfy, but shallow. I think MySims Kingdoms is it but better so you should try it. Also Sin & Punishment was supposed to be a crazy good onrails shooter but that was just what the magazines told me.
I really miss the Wii >ZOOOOOMEEEEEER!
Nope. I'm 33. I remember getting shit on for liking the Wii over the "next gen" consoles of the PS3 and 360. I remember the Dojo, I remember the Virtual Console (which despite popular opinion, was also a slow drip after a great launch like the Wii U and Switch Online), I remember the motion plus attachment with the Wii condom when it first launched, I remember Cammy fricking Dunaway, I remember all of that. I have always liked the Wii (not my favorite console, but top 4 or 5). I also vastly preferred it to the Gamecube which I didn't particularly care for.
NES, Genesis, N64, and Dreamcast are all up there with my favorite consoles ever, but dammit I loved the Wii.
The Wii has its problems (the Motion Plus is what it should have been from the start, probably) but it's a solid system. I like it more than the Switch in a lot of ways, even though the Switch has one of Nintendo's better libraries.
I can't say the Wii is like the best console ever (that award goes to either SNES or PS2) but it is my personal favorite of all time. Its also nice to hear someone else agree the Gamecube is mad overrated, has some of my least favorite entries in a ton of first party IPs I like and its third party lineup is hard carried by Sega.
This game managed to filter me hard. It was my first ever "strategy" game after avoiding them for so long since I thought it wasn't really a strategy game. Turned out it was Advance Wars where you actually control units and infantry. I really should go back to it now that I'm into AoE II and now have more than enough patience to actually learn it.
Also very sad there was next to no rule 34 of Betty
Haven't played BW2, but in BW1, I remember soloing a level as a infantry rocket launcher unit by just strafing around tanks due to their machine guns not being able to keep up with me.
It still has the classics, like the fantasy setting where countries depend on a specific magical thing and then they go to war, the skits when you're wandering outside, the dumb outfits, the party members that betray you, the dumb girl who knows nothing of the world, etc. I think it was even written by the Tales of Abyss guy.

I appreciate MH3 more in retrospect, but man was I disappointed when it came out. It introduced one new weapon type (two if you include medium bowgun), and removed a dual blades, hunting horn, gunlance, and bow. I had just come off playing MHFU for so many hours, just brimming with monsters and things to do, including G Rank quests. I played MH3 the first minute it was available and grinded all the way to the end with my hunter buddies, and after about 90 hours we were like ... oh, that was it? The swimming never bothered me, but the quests dried up really fast and the roster was microscopic compared to FU. I also didn't care for Shakalakas when compared with Felynes. Anyway, someone posted a pic here a while back that demonstrated how all fo the monsters introduced in MH3 were just better versions of their older counterparts, and looking back, I agree with that. MH3 was kind of a "reset button" for the series, and while I appreciate the refined and focused set of monsters, it was incredibly odd to me at first. I watched my friend play a lot of MH1 on PS2, and I played lots of MHF myself, so I just assumed the series was on a nonstop upward trajectory where each new game would be the previous one, but better. MH3U basically fixed all of the issues I had with MH3, but that doesn't seem like a very popular stance. I always considered 3U to be a straight upgrade from 3 but there has been a growing chorus of voices recently that insist MH3 is better. I'm not saying they're wrong, I just don't understand it. I also just liked Tanzia more than Loc Lac.
I don't judge you poorly for loving Ultimate at all, considering it kept the setting and tone and added 7x the content. That much is true.
But >Tanzia more than Loc Lac
NO!
No More Heroes 1 is really good. Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 put a lot of care in their second game for a Nintendo home console (after Killer7)
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Wario Land Shake It
Rune Factory Frontier
We Cheer was pretty good as well, but requires two wiimotes to play and so might not work depending on your setup. I doubt you can emulate dual wiimotes without the right hardware.
Red Steel 2 comes to mind, real fun. I'd say no more heroes 1 and 2, but you're better off playing the more recent steam releases since they can run at 60fps.
I can't say for sure how good it was, but my friend had The Conduit and I remember thinking it looked really cool
It's too late for this, but playing black ops 1 with a pro controller online was great because you'd slaughter most everyone using the remote and nunchuck kek
Well that was my experience at least lol once I got that classic controller pro I was shitting on people online. I usually preferred the pointer controls but cod online didn't seem to benefit from them, or had shitty implementation or something
Rabbids Go Home is genuinely a really good game regardless of how you feel about the little shits themselves. Ubisoft choosing to go back to the party game formula immediately after it will always baffle me.
>Red Steel (I liked both) >Sin & Punishment >Umbrella Chronicles >House of the Dead (both) >Excite Truck
That’s about it. I found Mario and Zelda to be pretty lame on Wii and beyond.

I second Zack & Wiki
Also try Metroid Prime Trilogy and Rhythm Heaven Fever

Resident Evil 4. The best version of one of the greatest games ever made is on Wii.
If it's good just because of the motion controls, then the VR version is better.
I really miss the Wii
>ZOOOOOMEEEEEER!

I think it's bad ass that's it's backwards compatible with the GameCube. I like having the extra GameCube controller slots too
I can't say the Wii is like the best console ever (that award goes to either SNES or PS2) but it is my personal favorite of all time. Its also nice to hear someone else agree the Gamecube is mad overrated, has some of my least favorite entries in a ton of first party IPs I like and its third party lineup is hard carried by Sega.
Personal favorite (instead of "objective best") is probably how I'd frame it for myself too. It's still hooked up in my living room, too.
Opoona
You can emulate NES, GENESIS, GB, GBC, GBA and Half of PSX library at least.
yeah wii sports. you can also buy all the old nes and snes roms for $3-5 a piece and actually own them instead of renting them like on the switch
Eshops been closed down for years anon
I know I was just pointing it out
Play Zelda meets Shadow of the Colossus.
?si=g-sIHljAByCDWNbl
you should have posted a gameplay trailer instead
Batallion Wars 2 is the best game on the system IMO.
This game managed to filter me hard. It was my first ever "strategy" game after avoiding them for so long since I thought it wasn't really a strategy game. Turned out it was Advance Wars where you actually control units and infantry. I really should go back to it now that I'm into AoE II and now have more than enough patience to actually learn it.

fire emblem radiant dawn is the best in the series also house of the dead is pretty fun.
>No one has mentioned Arc Rise Fantasia
It's like Tales of, but turn-based and harder.
>but turn-based
so nothing like Tales at all lmao
it is pretty good though
It still has the classics, like the fantasy setting where countries depend on a specific magical thing and then they go to war, the skits when you're wandering outside, the dumb outfits, the party members that betray you, the dumb girl who knows nothing of the world, etc. I think it was even written by the Tales of Abyss guy.
these are normal JRPG tropes none of these are specific to Tales. Tales is defined by its ARPG combat systems.
No More Heroes.

We Cheer was pretty good as well, but requires two wiimotes to play and so might not work depending on your setup. I doubt you can emulate dual wiimotes without the right hardware.
Nice. Def gotta get Ghost Squad then. Best lightgun game on Wii besides House Of The Dead series and Resident Evil Chronicles.
Yes. An insane amount, actually. And it's not even restricted to its own gen; it can play basically any previous gen's games, too.
It's easily the best video game console ever produced. Even the home screen is "fun to play." And I'm not joking.
>t. 36-year-old
Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, indisputably the best motion control vidya.
Red Steel 2 comes to mind, real fun. I'd say no more heroes 1 and 2, but you're better off playing the more recent steam releases since they can run at 60fps.

It's too late for this, but playing black ops 1 with a pro controller online was great because you'd slaughter most everyone using the remote and nunchuck kek
lmao what? pointer controls were objectively better in pretty much every game that offered the option.
Well that was my experience at least lol once I got that classic controller pro I was shitting on people online. I usually preferred the pointer controls but cod online didn't seem to benefit from them, or had shitty implementation or something
You’re completely correct but Ganker has a fetish for gyro and will also unironically argue that Wii had optimal controls for online shooters.
I'm surprised it took this long for someone to mention Trauma Center.
God, TvC was so fricking good. Probably my favorite fighter ever.
Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, duh. Also you can turn it into a Gamecube with Nintendont
anon its literally already a gamecube
I mean you can just put gamecube isos on a flash drive or an SD card rather than paying hundreds for fricking Mario Sunshine.
OP here. I'm emulating.
Rabbids Go Home is genuinely a really good game regardless of how you feel about the little shits themselves. Ubisoft choosing to go back to the party game formula immediately after it will always baffle me.

Do Wii games on Wii U run at any higher detail or something? Or no difference at all?
in my experience it seems like it runs it exactly like a wii
it basically resets the console into Wii mode and behaves as if it is a Wii
Could try FAST Racing League.
Disaster: Day of Crisis. It's a third-person game with light gun combat. It is the ultimate action movie game and it's fun as frick.
Fishing Resort Wii
Art of Balance
Both were very charming, calm and fun, but also had 10/10 relaxing soundtracks.
