Wii Ware Games

[Deleted]

So I got some Wii points for Xmas, but have no clue what the good Wii Ware games are. If anyone could chime in with some suggestion it would be most appreciated!

The Phoenix Wright games if you haven't played those (though I have them on the DS), Pokemon Rumble is good for what it is but it's overpriced, heard good things about Fluidity... All I can really think of offhand. I tend to go with the Virtual Console.

Pokemon Rumble definitely. If you like RPGs I suggest Final Fantasy 4 The After Years. I'd say either My life as King or my life as a Darklord, but those two are kinda iffy IMO. World of Goo is a good one and Mega Man 9&10 are good newtro (new retro) games.

The LostWinds games are pretty cool Metroid-ish platformers.

And Yet It Moves is a freaking brilliant game.

Cave Story is a must play.

Bit.Trip Beat is a great game, although I think the entire Bit.Trip series is getting a retail release, so you might be better off just waiting for that.

World of Goo is brilliant. Probably one of my all time favourite puzzle games.

My sister wants Wii stuff for Christmas. I got her a game she wanted but I think I'll get her some Wii points instead of another game . What are the best Wii ware games that AREN'T 2d platformers ?

Well, there's the point and clicks that TellTale released: Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People as well as Tales from Monkey Island.

I just wish that Nintendo would add more Virtual Console games.

It's worth noting that you can get the original Cave Story completely free on PC. Sure the graphics are rougher looking compared to the updated ports, but I think that's part of the game's charm that's lost with technically better graphics.

www.cavestory.org/ If you're interested. The downloads link goes right to the freeware version on Pixel's site, which is in Japanese and a little odd to navigate.

I'd just stick with Virtual Console games. There's not much on the Wii Ware store that isn't available elsewhere, like Steam, Desura, the Humble Indie Bundles etc. Usually for cheaper, too. LostWinds is one of the few outright exclusives I can think of that's also pretty dang good.

The LostWinds games aren't even exclusives anymore. They either are already on, or will be coming to, the iPhone/iPad App Store.

So, yeah, WiiWare doesn't exactly have exclusives outside of a few games.
