Tomb Raider Anniversary is also good on Wii.
lost in shadow reminds me of ico 🙂
The number 2 and number 1 choice was a surprise for me and my friend. I like Skyward Sword and my friend likes Twilight Princess, although I like Twilight Princess as well. We didn't expected number 2 to be Twilight Princess, but what surprised us even more is that Skyward Sword was number 1. It was something I will never forget. Honestly, I don't know why people hate Skyward Sword so much.
I am playing Mario Galaxy on the Wii. Is anyone familiar with this game? When Mario punches one of those balloons and it misses its target, it saps back. When it snaps back it knocks Mario on his ass and he loses all his little cystal guys. If Mario is fast enough he can run away……. I'm fairly sure when he makes it he flips off the balloon. Am I the only one seeing this?
Why do you have survival horror games in the "adventure" category??
I wish Zelda Wii U would have awesome graphics exactly like this game.
Can't wait for the twilight remake
lost in shadow look like heart of darkness
I loved Metroid Prime 3! The controls were just so good. 😀 I would rate Twilight Princess as number one personally because Skysword Sword was too diffcult for its own good. 🙁
Great List! I'll play most of Them.
#9 is a platformer and #3 is a FPS
No list for Racing games?
"A more mature themed Zelda game" lol, as if WW didn't have mature themes. I swear, those people would look at Disney's fantasia & call it "kiddy". How undeveloped does your consciousness have to be if your THAT ignorant of the underlying themes within those colourful masterpieces?
These look more HD than native resolution. Are you playing them through the dolphin emulator or on the wii u ?
Okami is much better on ps2. But agree with list.
My favorite Nintendo Wii games are: Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Dead Space: Extraction, Prince of Persia (The Forgotten Sands, Rival Swords), Resident Evil (Zero, Remake, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles), The Conduit 1-2, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Jurassic: The Hunted, The Destiny of Zorro, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, WALL-E, Metroid Prime Trilogy, 007: Quantum of Solace, GoldenEye 007, Heatseeker, Manhunt 2, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 1-2, Tetris Party, Deadly Creatures, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2-3, Bully, Red Steel, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Pandora's Tower, X-Men: Destiny.
Rather played twilight princess over skyward sword
okami for playstation 3 using the ps move best choice for okami i would say
RE4 should be on action games list.
This is a pretty good list, I think Lost in Shadow is more of a plattform than an adventure game, and I would change the order of some of these, but that's just a matter of taste and you made a good top.
And I'm with you, after trying the wiimote for RE4 I can't think of another way to play it. The Mine Launche never was so fun. The same happens with Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Where's Tomb Raider Anniversary and Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands on this list? These were some of the best Wii games ever. Also there's no Cursed Mountain, and Disaster Day of Crisis. This list sucks.
Skyward sword is easily the best wii game I've owned.
Wow, Metroid Prime 3 truly is a gorgeous game. It was definitely one of the best looking games of the 7th generation, and rivals most games on the Ps3 and Xb360.
Retro Studios used an incredibly clever art style, along with the best possible use of the Wii's technical capabilities to make it a game that looks just as good today. It hasn't aged one bit.
Okami > Skyward Sword > Twilight Princess!
okami should be number 1 in my opinion. that is one of the best games ever made. It is incredible
Were the heck is the rest of this Wii 100. I hate when people say they are going to make a top 100 video and then just stop at 3. It seems to happen a lot.
How about a top 10 rpg or top 10 shooters?

¡Agárrenlo! ¡No dejen que se escape!
I never had a Wii. Didn't miss a thing.
Great list. I love it! It made me remember some games I've got to get for the system, like Godfather and Lost in Shadow. I really miss having Okami. Pretty satisfied with your number one.
Never even heard of Lost in Shadows…some games badly need marketing!
Dislike for SS at no.1
Great list guys. Wasn't any obvious choices so I was kept guessing but I didn't feel like a particular game shouldn't have been there. Skyward Sword as an open world really wasn't great in its linearity and streamlining but as you said the Wii motion plus combined through combat and puzzles along with the story and musical score more than made up for it to stand as its own engaging Zelda experience.
I probably would have ranked Twilight Princess lower. After completing the masterpiece that is Skyward Sword recently, I decided to pick up and play through TP for the first time in nearly a decade. It uh…hasn't held up terribly well, and quite frankly, it's my least favorite in the franchise now. In the last year I've played through Wind Waker HD, Link Between Worlds, Skyward Sword, and now Twilight Princess. TP just feels like such a slog after the others, and the pointless wiimote waggle frankly pisses me off.
