IGN: The 20 Wii Games You Should Already Own

Dark Arcanine | September 26, 2008 | Top List | PC Playstation 2 Gaming Tech/Hardware

IGN members Matt Casamassina, Mark Bozon and Lucas Thomas have compiled a list of the twenty Nintendo Wii games that every Wii gamer should own.

It's well structured listing the name, publisher, develop, whether it's Wii exclusive, an overview, a profile picture and a video.

The first game on the list is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and the last is Excite Truck.

Most of the list is a listing of the most popular games around, however, some are quite surprising.

1. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
2. Super Mario Galaxy
3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
4. Okami
5. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
6. Super Paper Mario
7. de Blob
8. Wii Fit
9. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
10. Resident Evil 4
11. Wario Land: Shake It!
12. SSX Blur
13. Scarface: The World is Yours
14. Trauma Center: New Blood
15. Boom Blox
16. Medal of Honor Heroes 2
17. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
18. No More Heroes
19. Mario Kart Wii
20. Excite Truck

I have four on that list (number 2, 9, 16, and 19). In all honesty, there really haven't been dozens and dozens of great games produced on the Wii yet. Eventually it will reach a stage where yes, a top 20 list would reflect it, but I don't think that there are enough great games out atm.

I agree. Like I said, it may be a list of the top twenty but I think it's only reflective of what is currently the top twenty and not what is deserving of the top twenty status.

Bleh @ Zack and Wiki. I could barely play it, that golden rodent was just too *bleep*ing annoying.

edit: I've played 11 of those games.

I only own 4 of those also (1, 3, 9, 19)

How the heck is Metroid first? I love the series a lot, but MP3 (ha, lol) was a heck of a lot worse than the first 2 (which are two of my fav games I own).

Not to mention they left out Guitar Hero III (but I suppose we're talking of Wii Exclusives).

I own exactly half of those and intend to pick up a few of those listed when I get more time and money. BTW, is de Blob really that good?

They did leave off two Wii games that I really enjoy: Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and Battalion Wars II.

It probably is a bit too early to make a really noteworthy top 20 list, but I'm sure that by the end of 2009 they will be able to make a truly amazing one.

I'm disappointed that half of those games are either ports or multiplatform >_>

From what I've been hearing around, a lot of people don't actually like SSBB and are saying that SSBM is definitive. I can't judge because I don't currently have SSBB.
