20 Best Wii Games Of All Time
Mario Kart, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy - what wins?
The sixth most popular console ever made, the Wii popularised motion controls, introduced non-gamers to the wonderful world of gaming, and gave us too many great titles to count.
Yeah, it wasn't the most powerful system, the over-reliance on casual titles annoyed many, and it was definitely filled to the brim with shovelware, but the Wii was something that almost everybody played, and almost everybody had a great time with.
Not only did it introduce us to a ton of new games, but it was also the system to introduce the Virtual Console, a great way for people to experience titles of the past. It also introduced WiiWare, which was many people's first introduction to indie games. The Wii also introduced the Mii, a way for you to play as yourself in various titles.
Almost every major Nintendo franchise was represented in some way on the console, and a lot of third-party developers saw the Wii’s motion controls as a way to create something truly unique.
With that in mind, it makes sense that the Wii was filled with so many great games.
20. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
After the excellent duology on the GameCube, we got a third Metroid Prime game on the Wii, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
On a mission with some bounty hunters, Samus gets corrupted by Dark Samus's Phazon. Samus is now on the clock to defeat Dark Samus to cure herself before she gets too corrupted. If that wasn’t enough for her to worry about, Samus must also find out what happened to the bounty hunters she went on that initial mission with.
It's actually a pretty good story which isn't exactly common in Nintendo games. It's also one of the few Metroid games to take place across multiple smaller planets instead of one large one. This allows for more variety in the environment and is a welcome change - even though exploring one singular location is still great.
The game was later released as a part of the Metroid Prime: Trilogy collection, which compiles all three games and adds motion controls to the first two which surprisingly makes those games even better.
This game is great, it's a shame they didn't make any more Metroid games on the Wii. Metroid: Other M? That was just a bad dream right?
