5. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition- This game is on multiple platforms (Gamecube, PS2), but really thrives using the Wii controller scheme. The easy point and click aiming system gives the player a more immersive experience, and who doesn't want that when killing mutated Spanish people? The gore in the game is great, and the storyline is even better. With a very low retail price (around $30 new), compared to others out there, this is a must have for any Wii owner. And hey, it's rated Mature!
4. Super Paper Mario- If you don't like Mario games, then you should stop reading right now because he and his friends dominate the rest of the list. Super Paper Mario is the game I purchased with my Wii, and loved every minute of this adventure/RPG. The dimensions of the game are fantastic. Most of the game is played as a 2-D side-scroller, but when need-be, you can switch to 3-D mode. Another great feature of the game is that most of Mario's companions are featured in the game. Peach, Luigi, and even Bowser assist you in saving the world from Count Bleck.
3. Super Smash Brothers Brawl- Yes this is only number 3. Where to even start on this game. It's a great "fighter", and includes everyone from Mario, Link, Samus, and DK, to Sonic, Snake and even Pit from Kid Iccarus. This edition of SSB even incudes a story mode, which allows you to team up with all the characters to fight off a team of bad guys from every game involved in SSBB. The reason most people were looking forward to this release is for the online play. I can only speak for myself, but I did not enjoy the online experience. It was hard to even notice you were playin with others, and not just playing the computer. The game is still a must have for any Wii owner.
2. Super Mario Kart Wii- It was hard to put this game number 2, but I had no choice. This game delivers on all levels. The Grand Prix mode is great, and has plenty of unlockables which keeps you wanting to win ever CC. The game itself came with a Wii Wheel, which works flawlessly. Every motion you make with it is reflected perfectly onto the screen with your character. The tracks are great, and include 16 new tracks, while bringing back 16 classic tracks dating back to the one that started it all on the SNES. Unlike SSBB, the online play is INSANE. Before every game, you can check if you have any friends online, and then pick to either play Regionally, or Worldwide. Once you decide, you get to see where your opponents are playing from, and even their Miis. Like every other game on this list, you're not a true Wii fan without having Super Mario Kart Wii.
1. Super Mario Galaxy- Need I say more? The game looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, and utilizes the Wii control system nearly perfect. As always, Princess Peach has been kidnapped, and it's your job as Mario to get her back safely. This game is much like Super Mario 64. You need to collect Stars, and beat different galaxies. Once you reach 60 stars, you can earn the right to fight Bowser and retrieve Peach. Although I did say that the control are close to perfect, they aren't PERFECT. They can sometimes be a little difficult to handle, and also the camera angle can be very poor at inoppotune times, but other than that, everything works great.
Honorable Mentions- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Batallion Wars 2, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Crash of the Titans, Mario Strikers Charged
