Best Nintendo Wii Games?

[Mosier]

Mario Party is crazy fun for 2 people, and gets better the more people play.

Zelda and Wii Sports will last you a long time, too.

In fairness, Wii was supposed to be an amusing also-ran in the race between PS3 and 360. A lot of third party developers didn’t get devkits for Wii until just before release, and those that did didn’t want to put on too strong of an initial commitment because the system was seen as such a wild card. Now that it’s come about as the most popular of the three consoles, I’m sure developers are scrambling like mad, but for the time being, it’s no mistake that the vast majority of games, and especially of good games are in-house Nintendo productions.

I’m guessing that a Jedi game is in the works, and if a friend at Lucasarts doesn’t have his tongue tied by NDAs and gets back to me, I expect to hear as much from him.

If they do it right, it could become one of the best-selling video games of all time. I installed a program on my iMac that interacts with the Wiimote and makes lightsaber noises when I swing it around, and I felt like I was a kid all over again (I’m 28). To have visual as well as audio feedback would simply be awesome.

This thread has great timing. I just hooked up my Wii last night. I was playing the Wii sports until 2:00 AM. I can already see where injury can come from if you aren’t careful.

So…can anyone explain how to hit a slider pitch? I swear, a friend and I actually decided to ban it because the closest we ever came to hitting it was my consistently hitting foul balls against that pitch.
