I'm genuinely curious to know why it's your favorite.

Absolutely. That system has a LOT of hidden gems. It's just unfortunate that they got buried under the tidal wave of shovelware that swept the system.

Feels like the furthest evolution of "arcade brought to your home TV". The pointer controls and overall theme of the system screamed 80s/90s arcade to me. The message and ambition of the system resonated with me. Some all-time greats like Sin & Punishment, Wii Sports Resort, Dead Space Extraction, and Resident Evil 4 are forever locked to the system (in my heart) until Nintendo revisits the concept someday.

To each their own, and there are definitely some great games here - but some of these are massive stretches to be calling them "Great" games. Excite Truck? Let's Tap? C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnn man c'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The Wii had three of the best games of ever. Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and then Twilight Princess. It also had Arc Rise Fantasia... which is a criminally underrated JRPG and Tales of Symphonia 2, which was absolutely a great game but probably most wouldn't agree at all. Mario Kart Wii was great but not terribly innovative. So that's 6?

Excite Truck was one of my all-time favorite racing games. It was epic. I completed everything in that game, super fun.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The Wii might be the all-time greatest system for hidden gems. That's partially because a lot of people wrote it off due to the waggle, but there were soooo many great games that weren't subject to motion control stupidity that nobody really heard about. It's a cool system to go back and rediscover.

I agree it has some great games. Just few and far between. Mine would be:
SMG 1/2
Twilight Princess
A Boy and His Blob
Mario Strikers
Prime Trilogy
Okami (best version)
Epic Yarn
DKC Returns
And still the best version of the Virtual Console

The Wii was PS2 part 2, it was the last hurrah of the old industry.

Excite Truck is awesome. One of the best racers of that generation.
Let's Tap is very much a party game. Play it solo and I'll agree it's not amazing, but with friends it's an absolute hoot and the tapping mechanic becomes frantic and hilarious which is what takes it into that category.

The Wii was my Metroid machine, nothing else. I played the shit out of that Trilogy and I just want Nintendo to release it on the Switch.
Yes, I never played a Mario or Zelda on the Wii (at the time I was too edgy for Nintendo games). Wish I could play them now.

The Wii had a ton of great games. My library was also around 50+ and I was missing tonnnnns of games.
People who talk shit about the Wii library have no idea what they're talking about.
So I'm guessing we won't get any major news from Nintendo til after 3D World releases? Maybe March after their fiscal year or whatever is over?

The Wii is an interesting case, its success was built on super casual shallow motion control games and its exclusive entries in Nintendo's historical franchises were underwhelming if not terrible like Other M or Skyward Sword but it also had a lot of excellent games in rather niche genres like Sin and Punishment 2, Zack and Wiki, Tatsunoko vs Capcom or weird experimental midbudget titles like Pandora's Tower or Disaster Day of Crisis that made it feel like a kind of second coming of the PS2 in a way. Its library is probably underrated when all's said and done.

Still hoping The last Story and Pandoras tower get ported to Switch.

Resident Cheap Arse
Two very good games that are slowly getting lost to history.
Pandoras Tower in particular doesn't get a whole lot of love these days but it was a genuinely interesting concept and the execution was good. I'd like to see a re-master but given how poorly it did originally and how little hype there is for it now... well, I think my Wii copy will have to serve indefinately.
The Last Story is gradually picking up a bit more traffic so there is some demand but I'm not sure that there is enough to get it on the remake radar.
All three of the Rainfall games were solid. Pround of the community for managing to get them brought to the west in the first place.

I remember Pandoras Tower being very dark in tone, especially in the later stages with the feeding( trying to avoid spoilers )

I've been feeling like replaying Fire Emblem TH. Dunno which house to choose this time, I was Golden Deer on my first play through.
I still have to finish Xenoblade and Bayonetta 2 (almost at the end for sure). And I still wanna buy a new game, dunno if I should go for the Mario All Stars Collection or Odyssey, or just wait for the new one coming.

Switch is slowly becoming my main platform. With each generation PlayStation having less and less Japanese titles. I have PS5 but I’m afraid Sony big focus is western games and we going to see even less Japanese exclusives from Sony.

The Switch Online app working as intended then? I still don't know what Nintendo was thinking when they made that thing.

Yeah i never heard they 'gave' the IP to Platinum, just let them license the game.
This recent news about AC is so surprising because its not news at all

and everyone who forced me to finally play this gem. Finished it late last night and my mind is still stuck in AWESOME mode. I need a short break from long ass JRPGs, but soon I'll dive into Torna and the first Xenoblade as well.Japan man. Dudes are saving gaming and we take them for granted. What a country.

I managed to find it (Used? Don't remember) a little while after it came out and was not expecting the game to be so good. I loved what it was doing.
I'd love a remaster or sequel. That game needs more attention than it got. It gave me good Castlevania vibes.
