Notes on Wii Games

Notes on Nintendo Wii games.

Notes

Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City
Reminds of how big a leap New Leaf is really. The rest of the AC games feel preeeetty similar to the original, so this is nice and cosey in that sense.
Another Code:R
ATV Quad
Balls of Fury
Baroque
Battalion Wars 2
Blast Works: Build & Destroy
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
Castlevania: The Adventure
Centipede
Contra ReBirth
Crazy Climber
Cursed Mountain
Darts Wii DX

DeadSpace: Extraction
Dewy's Adventure
Driift Mania
Doctor Fizzwizzle's Animal Rescue
The Dog Island also on: PS2
This is really hard for me, somehow.
Endless Ocean 2
Escape From Bug Island
Excite Truck
ExciteBots: Trick Racing
I've enjoyed this a lot more than Excite Truck! The robots are charmingly goofy
Family Party: 30 Great Games - Outdoor Fun
Family Party: 30 Great Games - Winter Fun
Family Party: 90 Great Games Party Pack
縁日の達人 (Festival Master)
Taiko minigame spinoff.
FIFA '15
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Fishing Master
FlingSmash
Ghost Squad also on: Arcade
Really fun Sega light-gun shooter. Multiple paths, full of detail. Fun, kitchy Sega feel.
GTI Club: Supermini Festa
Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns also on: Arcade
Definitely lose something without the massive gun controllers they have in the arcade. If I feel like playing a light-gun game I'd rather go Ghost Squad, or Virtua Cop, but these're still fine.
Horizon Riders
Jeep Thrills
Just a crummy version of the Excite games. Good name but.
Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football also on: Windows
Kororinpa / Kororinpa: Marble ManiaNA / コロリンパ
Simple roller game the uses motion controls to move the playfield. Lots of small-scale sequence breaking possibilities, like the good Monkey Ball games. Has nothing to do with Tingle~. One of my favourite Wii games, works well both as something relaxing, and something to play fast and go for high scores.
The Last Story
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess also on: GameCube
Let's Tap
Link's Crossbow Training
Pretty neat, actually! Not much to it, but there's plenty of variety.
Little King's Story also on: Windows
Lost In Shadow
MadWorld
Marble Saga Kororinpa
Sequel to Kororinpa. Has a balance board mode with balance board-specific stages that's pretty cool.
Mario Tennis also on: GameCube
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Military Madness: Nectaris
MiniCopter Adventure Flight
Monster 4×4
Monster 4×4: World Circuit
Monster Hunter Tri
Ended up not playing this much, as after finding myself enjoying it I bought Monster Hunter: World. When I'm in the mood for classic MonHun I play GU now.
Monster Jam: Urban Assault
MotoHeroz
Muscle March
No More Heroes
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Ocean Commander
Opoona
Pandora's Tower
Penny Racers Party: Turbo-Q Speedway
Pikmin 2 also on: GameCube
Pop'n Music
Pro Evolution Soccer 2013
Pub Darts
Red Steel 2
Has some interesting features, the 1:1 sword movement being the big one, but it sits on a Ubisofty framework that makes it hard to like.
Reel Fishing: Ocean Challenge
リラックマ みんなでごゆるり生活 (Rilakkuma Everybody's Easy Life (?))
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles also on: PS3
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles also on: PS3
Fun lightgun game by Cavia. Plays better with a pistol shell that the official 'zapper' one, as you have to have the nunchuck separate anyway.
Rock N' Roll Climber
Rodea the Sky Soldier
Rygar: The Battle of Argus
Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love
Samurai Shodown Anthology
Sega Superstars Tennis
This is really bad. Has non of the nice-feel of the Mario Tennis games.
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure
Shaun White Skateboarding
Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
SimCity Creator
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Skate It
Wii version of the Skate games. Only played it with the balance board, which is kinda cool 'cause the gestures to do tricks match pretty well. Turning feels like it has an odd sensitivity though.
Speed Racer: The Videogame also on: PS2
Star Soldier R
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2

Virtua Tennis 4
Walk It Out
Balance board game where you walk round a park, getting awarded points for each step in time with the music. You use those points to buy island decoration like fountains and light posts. Disappointed that the decorations appear at set locations though, was hoping I could place stuff wherever I wanted.
Water Sports
We Ski
Wii Music
Wii Play
Wii Play: Motion
Wii Sports
Wii Sports Resort
Wing Island
Kinda okay kinda-PilotWingsy thing. Fly round an island doing goals.
Xenoblade Chronicles
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
斬撃のREGINLEIV (Slashing Reginleiv)
This game is pretty good. Like a smaller-scale EDF (same developer!: Sandlot) game with a fantasy setting, and fun motion controls. I particularly like the feeling of hanging-back and firing arrows at crowds as they approach—really elicits a good feeling of standing your ground.
