@Garrus Vakarian I enjoyed every game with that feature and was not painful at all, and I know a lot of people that loved it too. "Painful'' is such a big word and sometimes people just make a big deal from nothing.

The Wii, on the surface, seems like "that console with Mario Galaxy and a lot of shovelware" to a lot of outsiders, but the more you dig through, the more gems you keep finding

john : (at sonic colors) Could be coming back sega : your prayer has been answered edit : man he just made a video about 100 games without researching . Imagine not appreciating this guy. even sega appreciates him they answered his prayers
John, you're a damn machinegun of TH-cam videos, and I love all of them, we have very similar tastes. You guys at NintendoLife are killing it right now, keep it up!
For some of my favourites that weren't mentioned- Kororinpa 1 & 2/Marbles! Balance Challenge - A uniquely intricate take on a Marble Madness style game. Works beautifully with the Wii Remote's tilt controls, showing that even the base remote can do 1:1 gyro tracking. The levels get really challenging, and you might need to hold the controller upside-down in some sections to keep going. Really scratches an itch I'd had for decades beforehand. Go Vacation - There's a Switch port of this now, but I think it's still worth mentioning as a highlight of the Wii library. It simulates four kinds of holiday resort for you to roam around and discover hidden secrets at will. You can drive cars, skateboard and ride horses, alongside taking part in around 100 minigames that include simplified versions of Namco classics like Ridge Racer and Taiko no Tatsujin. The soundtrack's full of laid-back arrangements of deepcut Namco tracks too, for hardcore fans. Tomena Sanner - A chaotic WiiWare autorunner that carries a lot of the humour and energy of Project Rub, as well as resembling its art style. A fun little game that's easily worth a shout. Super Mario All Stars - This was met with a lot of cynicism at launch, but that shouldn't distract from the quality of the game, especially when you can regularly find it selling for pennies. Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3 and "The Lost Levels" (The Japanese SMB2), all remade for the 16-BIT SNES, and featuring save functionality for the first time. There are more practical options for many people looking to play this, but if the Wii is your only Nintendo console, it's well worth picking up. If you have other platforms, it's still a fun novelty to have this on a Wii disc. Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo - Nowhere near as good as the GBA's Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure, but a similar 2.5D action platformer that carries a lot of the whimsy and energy of early Dragon Ball. The Red Ribbon and King Piccolo sagas translate well to this style of gameplay, and there's been a great deal of care taken to present the story faithfully, with voice overs from the Japanese cast of the anime. A bit niche, and not essential, but a treat for fans of early Dragon Ball.
I got The Conduit for my little bro not knowing much about it. He really wanted a shooter but we only had a Wii. he ended loving that game and eventually they made a sequel. I got him the Deluxe version of Conduit 2. He was so excited and grateful.
Hearing Johm talk about games and calling each game "the best game ever made" gives me happiness and positivity vibes! Make me forget about the world problems for a while and reminds me how gaming is so awesome :)
Bravo! Excellent. The best games you didn’t mention: Pinball Hall of Fame: the Williams Collection DJ Hero 1/2 Geometry Wars: Galaxies Beatles Rock Band Lego Star Wars Ghostbusters
A top 100 is a bit much, but in the spirit of celebrating the Wii, here's my top 25 Wii Games: 25. *Bully* 24. *Donkey Kong Country Returns* 23. *Harvest Moon: Animal Parade* 22. *Muramasa: The Demon Blade* 21. *Punch Out!!* 20. *The Last Story* 19. *Kirby's Adventure Wii* 18. *Super Mario Galaxy 2* 17. *Wario Land: The Shake Dimension* 16. *Metroid Prime 3: Corruption* 15. *WarioWare: Smooth Moves* 14. *Super Mario Galaxy* 13. *MadWorld* 12. *Little King's Story* 11. *Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn* 10. *Super Paper Mario* 9. *The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess* 8. *Xenoblade Chronicles* 7. *Mario Kart Wii* 6. *Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition* 5. *Super Smash Bros. Brawl* 4. *The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword* 3. *No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle* 2. *Okami* 1. *No More Heroes* Honestly, the Wii is ridiculously underrated. It has arguably one of the best lineups of any console to date, and easily stands alongside the SNES and Gamecube as one of my favorite consoles of all time.
Ok I know Jon probably wanted to challenge himself by fitting all of these into 20min but honestly I would love a video where he talks about these games, but more relaxed and for longer! haha
This style of video is AMAZING!! Can I ask (I don't know if you'll read this but fingers crossed for good luck) that everyone of you does this here and there when you have say: - 10 epic games for an old/new console - 10 Favourite games we might not know about etc etc. you kind of get the idea. I'm saying 10 because that would limit the video time to maybe 5 minutes or so, providing you guys more time to talk about these games and a bit more depth while also keeping it pretty honest and unscripted. That's just my thought on this video style but I have to say I love it!!!
Another superbly entertaining video. As a Wii fan with over 120 physical titles and about 40 Wiiware games, it was fun to watch the rundown ... and while you covered a few games I'm now interested in investigating, there were plenty I wouldn't touch, lol. Any top 100 Wii selection missing Medal of Honour Heroes 2 is an instant fail :-)
Everytime I see people talk about The Conduit and not Conduit 2 I feel so sad. I'd argue that it is a Top 10-15 Wii Game at the very least and is the best FPS on the console (not counting Metroid.) It is one of the best hidden gems on Wii, and the production value is incredibly impressive. I highly recommend that over the first game by a long shot.
@@ja-nathen IMO the Wiimote+nunchuck is vastly superior to Analog (I think there were tests done back in the day showing that the Wiimote was close to Keyboard and mouse in accuracy.) The fact it gives more control options is still nice though. I would love an HD Switch port with Gyro controls as an option.
So glad you mentioned Muramasa! It’s such an underrated game and is just simply stunning! I wish it came to Switch because I really would love to play it again.
Alot of people like to crap on the Wii because it wasn't HD and people thought it was made for casuals, but it has one of the best libraries of all time. It has the fun party games that it was known for, but it also has platformers, shooters, adventure games, and some of the best RPGs of all time (I'm looking at you, Xenoblade). This era of gaming (the Wii and DS) is something I think only the switch has come close to replicating, it was just pure fun.
I have to say, my favorite Wii game is probably Fishing Master, developed by Hudson Soft in 2007. The Wii has one of my favorite libraries of Nintendo games: Punch-Out, DKC Returns, Mario Galaxy 2, Pokemon Rumble, Pokepark, and so many more, but Fishing Master remains my favorite. It’s basically a fishing minigame expanded out: fish pokedex, so many real and fake fish to catch, a great soundtrack, simple and fun motion controls, and a touch of random humor makes it the top for me
As impressive as this was, just, thank you for acknowledging punch out even if it wasn’t on the list. It really is one of the best on the platform in my opinion
Thank you so much for Arc Rise Fantasia!! It is so good they copied and pasted the story and characters into Tales of Zesteria. (Same people, team). The 2 main actors sound like they are new while the rest of the cast is great and those 2 characters get better by mid game.
If Jon keeps talking about the Wii, then we must do a movement asking for the Wii to have online connectivity again, as it was such an amazing console to play online and had incredible games
For Donkey Kong Returns, Jon says Tropical Freeze is his favorite game of all time, then with RE4, he says that his favorite game of all time, never change Jon! (Btw I agree, I love both of those games too)
My favorites in no particular order: Wii Sports Resort Super Paper Mario Wii Music Xenoblade Chronicles Mario Galaxy 2 Mariokart Wii Donkey Kong Country Returns Mario Super Sluggers Epic Mickey Captain Rainbow Metroid Prime Trilogy Metroid Other M Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers Okami
Xenoblade is my favourite game of all time, and it was a Wii title that came out late in the console’s lifespan. I will always have a soft spot for this console, namely for how different it was to other consoles. The controller was designed to play in each hand so you could finally play games left handed. It was the first nintendo system to be fully backwards compatible, and have a virtual console which is how I experienced Ocarina for the first time.
I was one who dismissed the Wii too easily despite owning a N64 and GameCube before it. I did own one but Without HD I wasn’t interested but have since come to appreciate my old Wii a lot. I’ve been collecting Wii games for a couple years now and have picked up several of these titles. I play them on my Wii U and am currently enjoying Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. This video is awesome cheers.
100 Amazing Wii games minus Dead Rising Shop Till You Drop but plus Super Punch Out!!. The Wii did provide a lot of fun games, I enjoyed my time with it and even after it playing those games on Wii U.
Great video. I was a guilty as the next person in deriding the Wii back in the day, I had one at launch and was so disappointed with it. But in recent times has rediscovered it and now realise it's an amazing console and up there with the best consoles ever made. It's brilliant
This is perfect timing! I literally just got back into Wii collecting. So far I bought Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love and Resident Evil 4. I was already planning one getting Trauma Team next but this video just gave me even more ideas
Love the opoona recognition! A few games you missed are: pandoras tower, lost in shadow, lost winds winter of the melodias, earth seeker (Japan exclusive though but has been fan translated), Cod black ops and world at war, conduit 2, blast works build trade destroy, Medal of honor heroes 2, ssx Blur and probably more. So many great wii games!

23 minutes. Wahoo
@Garrus Vakarian Is not that bad. Is amazing when you get used to it.
@Garrus Vakarian I enjoyed every game with that feature and was not painful at all, and I know a lot of people that loved it too. "Painful'' is such a big word and sometimes people just make a big deal from nothing.
Did you know you can use the Wii Mote barely moving the thing, instead of doing the movement like if it were real? Yeah, I mean: you don't have to make a blade slash like if the Wii Mote were a real sword. That's just stupid and something only casual players would do or complain for. Just emulate the movement.

This is just Jon flexing how many games he’s played
Prerecorded Jon, Video Jon, and Editing Jon all in one video about 100 Wii games.....someone please go check if he is okay

It's annoying how little people actually know about the wii game library. Loads of great games.
“Any Game is Better with Bots!” Controversial Opinion, bold, I like it.
Jon says “hey everyone!” enthusiastically at the start of the video and I can’t help but hit the like button. 😃

Now that Tsunku kicked cancer’s ass, I hope he can bring back Rhythm Heaven to the Switch. Also, can’t wait for Sonic Colors Ultimate.
Heck yes!! The switch NEEDS a rhythm heaven game and a wario ware title!!!
Makes me wanna go play my wii now
I'm so happy epic mickey was here, no one talks about that game
14:05 The Poképark games are two of the best of all time, so it’s great seeing it adknowlaged for once.
FE: Radiant Dawn and Donkey Kong Country Returns are in here, I am satisfied. They’re absolutely my favorite Wii games.
I'm so impressed by Jon's depth of knowledge
I'm with you Jon, the Wii was awesome, that was my go to console in high school and the first few years of community college.
Woah, I didn't realise how many games that Sega published for the Wii!
He better includes Pandora's Tower, that game is underated.
I guess it was forgotten like Punch Out Wii 😅
Epic video. Best part is the squeal of “Klonoa!!”
This really shows how much more retail games were willing to experiment in earlier generations
I've been trying to remember the name of The Munchables for years so I could play it! Thank you for this list!
When Jon says 100 Wii games I knew I was gonna get some deadly creatures love in this video.
6:08 The change in tone completely caught me off-guard.

Pinball Hall of Fame: the Williams Collection
DJ Hero 1/2

Great list! This was awesome!
My favorite is Pandora’s Tower!
Never realized there were so many quality games on the Wii. Time is looking back on the system much more favorably than it was viewed during its time.

Bully is AWESOME
One game that wasn't mentioned here that I liked back then, Elebits.

Ok I know Jon probably wanted to challenge himself by fitting all of these into 20min but honestly I would love a video where he talks about these games, but more relaxed and for longer! haha
Very cool you mentioned Tatsunoko vs Capcom! One of the best fighting games on, and off, the Wii
I seriously love the direction Nintendo Life has taken
The preview showed Jon talking about Boom Street.
I haven't even watched the video and I can confirm that the title didn't lie :D
Let the nostalgia begin!
"MarioKart Wii...Wa-hoo!"
I'm watching this to see if I'm missing anything, and it looks like I haven't explored the PAL region enough
This style of video is AMAZING!!
