someone gave me their wii so now I have the wiimotes for dolphin finally!
To be clear, I want to know what you like playing on the wii, not the "best" game.
EDIT: so glad I asked here. looking up this stuff on the internet gets me a whole load of people telling me what they think the most people would like. Such is the state of video game journalism.
It’s been quite a while since I touched mine, but I used to have so much fun with a lot of Wii games. I remember playing Punch-Out! a lot, it even had a fun multiplayer mode. Metroid Prime 3 (and later the whole trilogy). Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Obviously Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Xenoblade Chronicles. Skyward Sword.
I once made a long effort post recommending the best games on Wii including a lot of lesser known games like Fragile Dreams: Farewell ruins of the moon, etc when somebody asked this question on Reddit. But that was years ago, like before Wii U came out, and I wouldn’t be able to find it or remember half as well now all the great games. It was the first comment I ever got gilded for lol.
Edit: Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirbys Epic Yarn, Monster Hunter Tri (but if you can play a newer MH you don’t need to play this one, it was my entry into the series), RE4 with pointer controls, Rhythm Heaven, Sonic Colors, Tasunoko Vs Capcom, Warioware, Wii Sports Resort. I just skimmed an alphabetical list to jog my memory and I know I had a ton of fun with the games I’ve added here!
Fwiw my daughters are huge nintendo fan girls, and neither of them liked Skyward Sword. Now Twilight Princess, that one got played start to finish multiple times.
I loved both but I’ve never not enjoyed a Zelda game really. I played TP on the GameCube though.
