Here's the Video summary :D 1. Lost in Shadow 2. Dead Space: Extraction 3. Muramasa: The Demon Blade 4. Kororinpa: Marble Mania 5. Red Steel 2 6. MX vs. ATV: Untamed 7. Ghost Squad - Awesome multiplayer, 4 player co-op is crazy fun. Great game overall.
Thanks for including Muramasa! Absolutely one of my favorite games this generation, even if its gameplay ended up a bit repetitive. On a side note, the great thing about collecting for Wii is that most of the non-nintendo games cost so, so little, since when released so few people gave them a chance. Can't wait for part 2!
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom is amazing and a serious hidden gem on Wii and I think it was wayyyyyy better than Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. Capcom characters versus a bunch of obscure anime characters from the Tatsunoko anime brand. It's probably one of my favorite 2D fighting games ever. Both of the Resident Evil Chronicles games on Wii are really good and are awesome spinoffs of the RE series. They are both better than Resident Evil survivor on PS1 that's for sure. Rythm Heaven Fever is a great Rythm game and my favorite in the series.
+Joshua Huggett It might be *_somewhat_* known due to it's Playstation release (people might've heard of it yet, most never played it) but, not many people know that it was released for Wii, especially those that didn't really follow the Wii all that much. Not to mention, it's also known that Capcom didn't promote this game very well when it released for PS, much less for the Wii so I'd say it's much more "hidden" than other games.
***** Yeah, I remember that too.I agree, Capcom didn't really care cause the game was made by Clover and it was pretty much their (Clover's) last game. Capcom was too busy promoting 'Twilight Princess' at the time and I guess they figured no other game could compete with it. Either that or they knew 'Okami' was superior and they didn't want it to overshadow their own 'TP', so they just kept it purposely on the "back burner". Either way, I think most people would agree that Capcom "dropped the ball" in promoting this game cause if they would've done so, it would've been a massive hit. Even now, many people who liked it back in the PS2 days don't even know it was made for the Wii, nor do they know the game was remastered and re-released in full HD a few years ago and has been available all this time on the PSN. That's why I think it qualifies as a "hidden gem" for both Nintendo and PS systems.
I've never watched your video's before. Your a very well spoken person. Your reviews are very professional. I look forward to watching more of your reviews. Thanks and great job!!
I loved Lost in Shadow. :) I remember being hooked to it once I picked it up a couple years ago and beating through the original mode and hard mode, collecting everything, unlocking the secret weapons, and maxing out my level upgrades.
Add Arc Rise fantasia, Bad VA, hard boss battle and good combat system with a somewhat interesting story, and with a great OST, just try to get over the VA and BOOM instan Gem.
Not hidden gems though... lol. Xenoblade is a rare game but not a hidden gem. The last story was just localized to north america by the same company so, even though I feel it's better than xenoblade, it's kind of riding the coat-tails of xenoblades reputation.
Metal Jesus KEEP ROCKIN'! I LOVE your Hidden Gems videos... I just paused this one at 0:33 because I just had to comment that I was in the same boat as you. I'm a collector too and bought a Wii 2 years ago... but only started playing it a few months ago! Since then I've been hunting down those gems (hidden or not) cause this system actually kicks ass. Once you get used to the motion remote the games really come to life. My PS3 is collecting dust for now...
Oscar completely agree....there just aren’t many titles for Wii U, but there are literally 100 titles on the Wii with an 80+ rating. I skipped the Wii too, but buy $7 games all the time that are great!
The Wii gave me some of the best experiences of my adult life. The nostalgia games hit me at just the right time in my life. My collection wasn't huge, but it is one of my favorites. New Super Mario Bros Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Super Paper Mario (my favorite) Donkey Kong Country Returns Mario Kart Wii Toy Story 3 Scarface
Also on PSP. Personally I think the game fits better on a portable console because its the kind of thing that that you want to pull out and play for short bursts.
I NEVER heard of Lost in Shadow in my entire wii ownership. What an original, mind blowingly rad concept and execution for a platformer. Thanks for this stellar list man.
One of my favorite Games on the Wii that I consider a hidden gem is the game called: *Endless Ocean* *Blue World* Its a diving exploration adventure type game. Plus it has a nice short story with SO much post game content! Like more than the actual prestory game! XD its actually a sequel but you don't have to have played the first one there is no continuous story, plus the first one isn't nearly as good lol
Overkill is in my top 5 favorite Wii games. I also own 2-3 Returns but it's such a shame Sega released it with a few bugs. No matter what it's impossible to unlock Freeplay Mode on 2 because of them.
Don't forget the Wii also got a superb remake of Klonoa that originally came out on the Playstation first, with updated visuals and added story, the game is more of a director's cut and is WORTH having in any Wii collection...I was very surprised to find it among the bargain bin games. Well worth the price even new when it came out but I got it when the games were dirt cheap.
Treetops looks like someone only had a 360. Ps3 had by far my biggest game library of that generation. 360 had the smallest for me as I mostly only bought their exclusives or if their version was significantly better. I preferred not paying to play online, so ps3 for the win!
Yet another great series of videos. Your passion for these games is so genuine and really comes through in all your videos. Your videos are really informative, and you must do a lot of research. Thanks for all your hard work. I have watched the PS3, 360 and WII hidden gems and have picked up a number of games already. In fact 4 of your ps3 and 360 hidden gems just today alone. Keep up the great work.
One game that floored me with its premise and game-play mechanics was another unknown over looked title called Pandora's Tower...it was a dark story driven anime style action game where you had to traverse a tower to get to the top to find a cure for your girlfriend who was cursed. The combat was not super special but was different enough. I picked the game up for a song and a dance new sealed from Gamestop when they were almost giving their Wii titles away. I didn't know what to expect and went hardcore looking for any wii titles being they were dirt cheap. Pandora's Tower is a rare game now and one worth playing if not one of the most overlooked cause it came out when Nintendo stopped supporting the Wii so the game was bargain bin material and not many people even knew it existed. This title is an adult oriented title and worth a play for anyone who either is into collecting Wii games or just wants something new to play.
it's black and white and red for blood. i like punching and jumping on a car. i haven't jumped on a car since a bonus round of street fighter in 1996.great games.
Hey great video man! The Wii has, indeed, a LOT of hidden gems. I still play it regularly and keep getting surprised with the quality of many titles that are not very known.
Sin and Punishment-Star Successor is a excellent shooter by the Japanese gaming tour de force developer Treasure, i loved that game though naturally it is pretty tough with it being a Treasure video game, it plays really well and is a must if you are into on rails shooters as it has great high scoring potential as there is a score multiplier mechanic and really quite in depth control system that works great with the Wii-remote and nunchuck. Also a shout for Okami on Wii as i think its the best version of it, again the control system works really well.
MetalJesusRocks Yeah i play it still from time to time, it's one of those games that you think.. Yeah i really fancy a go at that again, see if i can beat my hi-score. It's a blast!
Rented it on Gamefly, expecting greatness, got awesomeness. To ask a question, should I buy S&P now or later considering the rerelease will go to the NA Wii U's. I'm patient for greatness, though.
I don't think the Wii's graphics are that bad. And keep in mind I'm capturing this at 480p and then upscaling to 720p HD video. In person, on an old school TV, they look awesome!
Arc Rise Fantasia is among the best Wii games IMO. Great story (although very subpar voice acting), great gameplay, and best of all, its music is extraordinary. Why? Mitsuda. That is all.
I own all 7th gen consoles, but by far i spent more time on my wii. I can name many great games: Mario games- Galaxy 1&2, NSMB, Kart, Paper Mario and Strikers charged Two of the best rpg i played in this generation: Xenoblade and The Last Story (only Skyrim and Oblivion match them) and some fun rpgs i discovered them late :Rune Factory, Little King Story and Fragile Dreams. Fire Emblem is a nice game too, even though the prequel from gamecube was better. FPS is a genre i dont like so i cant name a ''good game'' on wii, but i enjoyed some Tps- Resident Evil 4 and Metroid the Other M. Super Smash Bros Brawl and Tatsunoko vs Capcom are amazing fighting games. Zelda games and Okami are great action-adventure games. Monster Hunter Tri, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Muramasa, Rayman Origins, Zack & Wiki, The Kore Gang, Project Zero 2, One Piece Unlimited Cruise 1&2, Pikmin 1&2, Punch-Out, No More Heroes 1&2, Monster Lab, Mini Ninjas, Kirby's Adventure and Epic Yarn---these games i remember now lol
0:57: Lost in Shadow 2:33: Dead Space: Extraction 4:03: Muramasa: The Dream Blade 5:11: Kororinpa: Marble Mania 6:36: Red Steel 2 7:45: MX vs. ATV: Untamed 8:56: Ghost Squad
I was just like you, MetalJesus, didn't bought a Wii until a year ago and said to myself "I'm only gonna buy and stick to the absolute best rated games for this" and now I have almost 40 games for it... lol!
I was talking about Lost in Shadow, yes :) it is similar in art, but I believe Limbo is the silhouette of the little boy, instead, in LiS it is a shadow alright, like literally. You have to move some lightbulbs in order to move the shadows around and get through the many levels of a tower. I recommend this game so much!
Going back rewatching the Wii videos enjoying the love in the comments I spent so long defending it to friends and family with ps3/360 in it's prime. Glad to see people have reasons for owning one today other than the obvious Homebrew and nes/snes/gba/n64/GCUBE/neogeo etc emulation
I feel like you've missed 2 must own games for the Wii. The snk classic arcade vol.1 and the metal slug anthology. Both Great games especially when you think it would cost you thousands to own these games on the original Neo Geo aes. Both games run super smooth on the Wii version no slow downs compared to the ps2 and psp versions.
I have a SNES to GameCube controller adapter that only seems to work on Wii (I bought it mainly for virtual console titles) and found that to be my favorite method of control for Muramasa. Totally awesome.
this always makes me sad. when a seasoned gamer like metal jesus is so ignorant to the system like the wii. look at the amount of shovelware garbage was on the ps2, but yet he was all into it. same thing goes with the wii, yet he like many others want to ignore all of the fantastic games that did come out for it.
@@WhiteGamerGuy1337 irrelevant. I wish gamers would stop priding themselves on being stubborn. This ‘motion control is 4 casualz waaaaa’ mentality is why shooters on consoles will always suffer from a gimped control scheme. Wii remote and nunchuk blows dual sticks out of the water and could’ve been a legitimate paradigm shift.
Here's some more hidden wii gems metal jesus rocks. 1. Fragile dreams 2. Marines modern urban combat 3. Mercury meltdown 4. Game party 3. 5. Silent hill shattered memories 6. Manhunt 2 7. Speed zone 8 fortune street 9. Need for speed undercover
just like the Vita re-release, Muramasa is probably the most underrated game of all time. I have best almost 640 games on so many platforms but playing the in the an OLED launch model PS Vita is pure heaven. The gameplay. The controls. the battle system are even better than the orgasmic visuals and fast frame rate. great boss battles. I beat all dlc and be hand on its "one hit your dead difficulty" - this is ninja Gaiden in 2D with a zillion better art style
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom on the Wii is an excellent fighter! It supports the Classic Controller scheme and so Arcade Sticks work if you have either the Official Madcatz or are using an updated 3rd party Pcb with the correct cords. A terrific and exciting game with awesome visuals and wild play style!!
Ghost Squad is without a doubt my most favourite arcade shooter to date. Now, add in a Wii port of this game and PRESTO. Saved $15,000 instead of buying the whole cabinet. Furthermore, why no love for Red Steel 1? That game was great!
I've only ever played through one Wii game, Red Steel, and I kinda liked it, crappy controls till you get used to them but superb atmosphere and level design, who can forget the fun house? Am looking forward to playing Red Steel 2 eventually.
Sin and punishment is really good, it's a great shooter, the Wii is underrated, it's has great games 20 years from now it will be missed, I'm glad you decided to collect wii games, I'm also a Wii game collector
Good "Hidden Gem" - Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip. It's one of my favorites for the system, very solid snowboarding game, and it can be found at Gamestop for a couple bucks. The sequel, World Tour, improves the graphics, but cripples the game with low difficulty and too many cartoon cut-scenes. Today's videogame developers all want to be movie directors...very strange! Anyway, you can get all three Shaun White games for about $5 (3rd one is a skateboarding title). Hope that helps!
I just bought Red Steel 2, No More Heroes, Dead Space Extraction, The House of the Dead Overkill, Speed Racer, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles.
I like how you're all over the board as far as gaming. I hate to see people who hate on other systems. it's all fun whichever console you play on. I'm getting back into gaming after a long hiatus and all your videos have been bringing my up to speed on what I've missed. thanks for the good content. have a good weekend.
i'd add beat the beat, little kings story, madworld, geometry wars, endless ocean 1/2, a boy and his blob. some of those may not exactly be hidden but most sold pretty poorly and thus wernt availible many places over here in the UK. awesome series MJR!
Ghost squad! I love it. The wii made it so you leveled up to make it harder or to cutomise weapons, clothes, modes, diffrent paths. First wii game I had.
Never heard of Lost in Shadow...I am going to pick it up tomorrow. The rest I already have. From the start I was guessing that Zack and Wiki was going to make an appearance. Excellent video as always Jason. Been waiting for a new hidden gems from you for a while...as always..worth the wait.
I just bought four Wii hidden gems you recommended at EB Games for killer clearance prices: House of the Dead Overkill, Ghost Squad, Ultimate Shooting Collection, and Secret Files Tunguska. Thanks for the heads up on these. I wouldn't have known about most of them without your videos.
For me Wii was: 1. Zelda games 2. The Last Story & Pandora's Tower 3. Kororinpa with friends I also played both Mario galaxy games, SSBBrawl and a lot more, but those ones are like my best memory related to Wii.
Please do a Dreamcast hidden gems! Also i love your videos. Your Seattle game guide episode inspired me and my buddy to come up to Seattle in a few weeks to go to each shop you mentioned. Rock on Jeebus.
You need to play Shiren the Wanderer, Chunsoft out did them selves this time. They pulled off the impossible, they managed to implement a party system that works really well, in a genre that doesn't support party systems. The Story is awesome, the gameplay is more tactical then ever before, and there are a bunch of side quests, ect.
Little kings story is very underrated and deserves more love for being such a beautiful and emmersive game with a great story and it’s just great I’m playing it right now.
Hello, I know this video is 4 years old now, but I wanted to ask if you've ever heard of Trauma Center. That was honestly my favorite Wii game, and I believe it made great use of both the Wii remote and the nunchunk.
so far, my favorite Wii game is Fragile Dreams. Plays like an Action/RPG, feels like a Survival Horror game. I love it, and I love the storyline for the game. definitely a must own for the Wii.
Forgot to mention Epic Mickey 1 & 2. A must for any Disney fan. Great graphics, great controls with the Wii. Reminds me of the old action games on the N64 from RARE but with much better graphics.
Look at Legends of the Indy 500. It is a great driving game (you can do a complete race) and it includes some interesting features, like drafting, changing tires, refueling, etc. It also lets you advance to better cars from a period where they went from front engine to rear engine (and, IIRC, Andy Granatelli’s turbines).
Endless Ocean Blue World was a fantastic game. Ik GameGrumps made their videos on it, but I can't stress enough how much fun I had as a kid swimming through seas and rivers finding fish, treasure, and even ancient ruins. I really hope that it gets a sequel, or at least remaster, on the switch, as I think it would work great on there.
Good video, I knew there has to be many hidden gems for this system. With the bad reputation and mountains of shovelware they were bound to be overlooked.
Ghost Squad is really awesome. I went into GameStop earlier this week (yes we all hate GameStop but just keep reading) and I ended up finding Ghost Squad for 99 cents. Its such a great game and I would recommend checking GameStop for one on the cheap.
My top 5 favorite wii games 5.) Mini Ninjas 4.) 101 in 1 party megamix 3.) Cursed Mountain 2.) Dead Space Extraction 1.) Brothers in Arms: Double Time!
Super Paper Mario. Despite not being as good as the gamecube or n64 games, I consider it a must play for wii owners since it is still a fantastic game in its own right with fantastic writing. Also Last Story, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, and the downloadable wiiware games Max and the Magic Marker and Defend Your Castle Wii edition.
Skyward Sword is actually really hard to find. Granted, I would have had a better time ordering it online, but I searched the shelves of Game Stop every time I went, and I found it after about a month. They didn't have a new copy though. It just isn't as easy to find as some of the other Zelda games, even though it was the most recent release. And SS did receive a bunch of criticism and hate from some Zelda fans.
lol I feel the same way. I just bought my Wii last week and I love it. always thought that this console was so lame until I actually own it. the games are really fun.
I don't know if it's already been suggested or if you've already played it and decided that it's not worth posting about, but I personally found Onichanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers to be an over-the-top cheesy good time. It's like nachos from a stadium concession; you know it's kind of bland and definitely not good for you, but for the time and place it's a nice treat.
Lost in Shadow looks like something that would become a downloadable indie game on Steam/XBLA/wherever. No surprise that it flopped as a retail game on the Wii. Also, it looks VERY reminiscent of "Limbo".
Exitetruck, Heavenly Guardian, A Boy and His Blob, Ivy the Kiwi, Boomblox, Opoona, Spongebob Truth or Square, Sin and Punishment Zack and Wiki, Guilty Party, Madworld, . Not all wii exclusive or really hidden gems, but still great games.
I would also add Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars! I think its a really fun, kind of old-school, 3D plattformer. It was funny and also really enjoyable to play!
0:57 - Lost in Shadow
2:33 - Dead Space: Extraction
4:02 - Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Alfonso Leal Hernández No prob bruh! ;D

_'Okami'_ definitely belongs on this list as well. That game is awesome, especially for anyone who likes _'Zelda'_ games...
+Joshua Huggett it is. I mean... it sold like shit.
+Joshua Huggett well... true... maybe compared to the ones he metions is well known.
+Joshua Huggett It might be *_somewhat_* known due to it's Playstation release (people might've heard of it yet, most never played it) but, not many people know that it was released for Wii, especially those that didn't really follow the Wii all that much.

Thanks very much for the compliment! I really appreciate that :)
I also have another wii hidden gem: Endless Ocean!
My fav. I'm playing Blue World now.
My daughter loves endless ocean ! Good call ✌🏻
Omg soooooo good
Trauma Centre: Second Opinion and No More Heroes!
2 good ones I own also
I loved Lost in Shadow. :) I remember being hooked to it once I picked it up a couple years ago and beating through the original mode and hard mode, collecting everything, unlocking the secret weapons, and maxing out my level upgrades.
Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story is pretty great if you're a JRPG fan
Add Arc Rise fantasia, Bad VA, hard boss battle and good combat system with a somewhat interesting story, and with a great OST, just try to get over the VA and BOOM instan Gem.
the last story was J-rpg perfection to me ..... I didn't really like xenoblade though
ya but everypple know that... so dont re so rare
Not hidden gems though... lol. Xenoblade is a rare game but not a hidden gem. The last story was just localized to north america by the same company so, even though I feel it's better than xenoblade, it's kind of riding the coat-tails of xenoblades reputation.
Raul Rojas
the OST had also Yoko Shomomura & Yasunori Mitsuda as the composers which kind of sayin a lot :O

Best of both worlds, I see.
We are in 2019. I just started building my Wii collection and I have to say that I'm loving it. There are so many good games.
The Wii gave me some of the best experiences of my adult life. The nostalgia games hit me at just the right time in my life. My collection wasn't huge, but it is one of my favorites.
New Super Mario Bros
Mario Galaxy 1 & 2
Super Paper Mario (my favorite)
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Mario Kart Wii
Toy Story 3
Scarface
Metal Slug Anthology.
A great series of arcade Run & Gun games ported to the Wii.
But with horrible controls .
OX1994AU
What is wrong with the controls?
Yeah, the d-pad of the original Gamecube controller sucks, but the controller from BigBen is pretty good.
Also on PSP. Personally I think the game fits better on a portable console because its the kind of thing that that you want to pull out and play for short bursts.
Great pick! to me the some of the best titles are the collections Data East collection is another.
I NEVER heard of Lost in Shadow in my entire wii ownership. What an original, mind blowingly rad concept and execution for a platformer. Thanks for this stellar list man.

Playing it now :)
@@jodyneal4969 I should play it again tbh
Became my favorite Wii game by game's end....by a mile. I've never played the first one but I intend on replaying Blue World.
You... are going to LOVE next week's new MJR video! Seriously...
House of the Dead 2-3 and overkill
Brian DuBose overkill!

Well worth the price even new when it came out but I got it when the games were dirt cheap.
And this is Why I always had over hundred Wii games and only 20 Ps3 games
Considering the PS3 was the worst Sony console ever. I'm not surprised.
@@Treetops27 bull shit ps3 was the shit
Many great games on all consoles of that generation.
Treetops looks like someone only had a 360. Ps3 had by far my biggest game library of that generation. 360 had the smallest for me as I mostly only bought their exclusives or if their version was significantly better. I preferred not paying to play online, so ps3 for the win!
How? I got like maybe twenty and I feel like that’s all the good games.

Arc Rise Fantasia is among the best Wii games IMO. Great story (although very subpar voice acting), great gameplay, and best of all, its music is extraordinary. Why? Mitsuda. That is all.
I own all 7th gen consoles, but by far i spent more time on my wii. I can name many great games:
Mario games- Galaxy 1&2, NSMB, Kart, Paper Mario and Strikers charged
Two of the best rpg i played in this generation: Xenoblade and The Last Story (only Skyrim and Oblivion match them) and some fun rpgs i discovered them late :Rune Factory, Little King Story and Fragile Dreams.
Fire Emblem is a nice game too, even though the prequel from gamecube was better.
FPS is a genre i dont like so i cant name a ''good game'' on wii, but i enjoyed some Tps- Resident Evil 4 and Metroid the Other M.
Super Smash Bros Brawl and Tatsunoko vs Capcom are amazing fighting games.
Zelda games and Okami are great action-adventure games.
Monster Hunter Tri, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Muramasa, Rayman Origins, Zack & Wiki, The Kore Gang, Project Zero 2, One Piece Unlimited Cruise 1&2, Pikmin 1&2, Punch-Out, No More Heroes 1&2, Monster Lab, Mini Ninjas, Kirby's Adventure and Epic Yarn---these games i remember now lol
0:57: Lost in Shadow
2:33: Dead Space: Extraction
4:03: Muramasa: The Dream Blade
5:11: Kororinpa: Marble Mania
6:36: Red Steel 2
7:45: MX vs. ATV: Untamed
8:56: Ghost Squad
Your fuckin awesome dude.
You're
Jason Hensley You're. You forgot your period.
drift-a-fry me Anyone bitching about spelling is clearly having a "period" of their own.
I like your enthusiasm.
TH-cam punctuation police? Your lives must be busy.
I was just like you, MetalJesus, didn't bought a Wii until a year ago and said to myself "I'm only gonna buy and stick to the absolute best rated games for this" and now I have almost 40 games for it... lol!
You need to play Sin and punishment star successor
I was talking about Lost in Shadow, yes :) it is similar in art, but I believe Limbo is the silhouette of the little boy, instead, in LiS it is a shadow alright, like literally. You have to move some lightbulbs in order to move the shadows around and get through the many levels of a tower. I recommend this game so much!
when you gonna do one for the wii u?
Fragile dreams: farewell ruins to the moon and little king's story are two great underrated games for the wii.
Lost Shadow kind of reminds me of Ico.
Thank god I finally found Red Steel 2 on your list. I would have been complaining about it on your part 3. This game was so epic.
Dead Space Extraction is not on Steam. It's not even on PC at all period.
You should check out Samurai Warrior Katana. It's a on railing shooting, but not. It's not that bad. It's like a arcade style game. Love it.
super mario galaxy 1 and 2
Those aren't hidden gems they were great games but very popular
Going back rewatching the Wii videos enjoying the love in the comments I spent so long defending it to friends and family with ps3/360 in it's prime. Glad to see people have reasons for owning one today other than the obvious Homebrew and nes/snes/gba/n64/GCUBE/neogeo etc emulation
sonic unleashed wii
Just getting into a unique Wii collection. GHOST SQUAD?!?!? I love that in the arcade. This made me so happy.
I feel like you've missed 2 must own games for the Wii. The snk classic arcade vol.1 and the metal slug anthology. Both Great games especially when you think it would cost you thousands to own these games on the original Neo Geo aes. Both games run super smooth on the Wii version no slow downs compared to the ps2 and psp versions.
Agree with you... I already have Metal Slug but it is almost impossible to find the SNK collection
I have a SNES to GameCube controller adapter that only seems to work on Wii (I bought it mainly for virtual console titles) and found that to be my favorite method of control for Muramasa. Totally awesome.
this always makes me sad. when a seasoned gamer like metal jesus is so ignorant to the system like the wii. look at the amount of shovelware garbage was on the ps2, but yet he was all into it. same thing goes with the wii, yet he like many others want to ignore all of the fantastic games that did come out for it.
its because of the shitty motion controls. especially for games that makes no sence not to add in gamecube controls
If you don't like the motion controls, get the classic controller.
@@WhiteGamerGuy1337 irrelevant. I wish gamers would stop priding themselves on being stubborn. This ‘motion control is 4 casualz waaaaa’ mentality is why shooters on consoles will always suffer from a gimped control scheme. Wii remote and nunchuk blows dual sticks out of the water and could’ve been a legitimate paradigm shift.
Here's some more hidden wii gems metal jesus rocks. 1. Fragile dreams 2. Marines modern urban combat 3. Mercury meltdown 4. Game party 3. 5. Silent hill shattered memories 6. Manhunt 2 7. Speed zone 8 fortune street 9. Need for speed undercover
who is this middle aged double chinned bloke who plays wii
coming from a kid who plays roblox ahahaha
i'd rather be a kid who plays roblox than a 50 year old who plays wii.
Boy The Bricksmith neither are worth defending.
What are you, 8
nope im 8 in april
just like the Vita re-release, Muramasa is probably the most underrated game of all time. I have best almost 640 games on so many platforms but playing the in the an OLED launch model PS Vita is pure heaven. The gameplay. The controls. the battle system are even better than the orgasmic visuals and fast frame rate. great boss battles. I beat all dlc and be hand on its "one hit your dead difficulty" - this is ninja Gaiden in 2D with a zillion better art style
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom on the Wii is an excellent fighter! It supports the Classic Controller scheme and so Arcade Sticks work if you have either the Official Madcatz or are using an updated 3rd party Pcb with the correct cords. A terrific and exciting game with awesome visuals and wild play style!!
Ghost Squad is without a doubt my most favourite arcade shooter to date. Now, add in a Wii port of this game and PRESTO. Saved $15,000 instead of buying the whole cabinet.
Furthermore, why no love for Red Steel 1? That game was great!
I've only ever played through one Wii game, Red Steel, and I kinda liked it, crappy controls till you get used to them but superb atmosphere and level design, who can forget the fun house? Am looking forward to playing Red Steel 2 eventually.
Sin and punishment is really good, it's a great shooter, the Wii is underrated, it's has great games 20 years from now it will be missed, I'm glad you decided to collect wii games, I'm also a Wii game collector
Good "Hidden Gem" - Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip. It's one of my favorites for the system, very solid snowboarding game, and it can be found at Gamestop for a couple bucks. The sequel, World Tour, improves the graphics, but cripples the game with low difficulty and too many cartoon cut-scenes. Today's videogame developers all want to be movie directors...very strange! Anyway, you can get all three Shaun White games for about $5 (3rd one is a skateboarding title). Hope that helps!
I just bought Red Steel 2, No More Heroes, Dead Space Extraction, The House of the Dead Overkill, Speed Racer, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles.
I like how you're all over the board as far as gaming. I hate to see people who hate on other systems. it's all fun whichever console you play on. I'm getting back into gaming after a long hiatus and all your videos have been bringing my up to speed on what I've missed. thanks for the good content. have a good weekend.
I played the PS3 version of Dead Space Extraction and absolutely agree - that game (especially in Coop-Mode) is A LOT OF FUN!
i'd add beat the beat, little kings story, madworld, geometry wars, endless ocean 1/2, a boy and his blob. some of those may not exactly be hidden but most sold pretty poorly and thus wernt availible many places over here in the UK. awesome series MJR!
Dude , ' Lost In Shadow' is called 'A Shadows Tale' here in the UK ...its a pretty awesome & unique game ,love it
Ghost squad! I love it. The wii made it so you leveled up to make it harder or to cutomise weapons, clothes, modes, diffrent paths. First wii game I had.
Never heard of Lost in Shadow...I am going
to pick it up tomorrow. The rest I already have. From the start I was guessing that Zack and Wiki was going to make an appearance. Excellent video as always Jason. Been waiting for a new hidden gems from you for a while...as always..worth the wait.
I just bought four Wii hidden gems you recommended at EB Games for killer clearance prices: House of the Dead Overkill, Ghost Squad, Ultimate Shooting Collection, and Secret Files Tunguska. Thanks for the heads up on these. I wouldn't have known about most of them without your videos.
Muramasa is one of my favorite Wii titles as well. It's just such a beautiful game and the music is epic.
It's so cool how so many Wii games had SO much extra content on them. So neato.
For me Wii was:
1. Zelda games
2. The Last Story & Pandora's Tower
3. Kororinpa with friends
I also played both Mario galaxy games, SSBBrawl and a lot more, but those ones are like my best memory related to Wii.
Sin and Punishment is awesome!
Lost in Shadow is one of my absolute favorite Wii games. I also LOVE its beautiful soundtrack.
I totally dig your "hidden gems" videos. You show us games that most others won't.
Wii has an amazing catalog, ( you should've showed light puzzles in lost in shadow) thanks for marble mania, never new it existed, now I'm hooked
Please do a Dreamcast hidden gems! Also i love your videos. Your Seattle game guide episode inspired me and my buddy to come up to Seattle in a few weeks to go to each shop you mentioned. Rock on Jeebus.
You need to play Shiren the Wanderer, Chunsoft out did them selves this time. They pulled off the impossible, they managed to implement a party system that works really well, in a genre that doesn't support party systems. The Story is awesome, the gameplay is more tactical then ever before, and there are a bunch of side quests, ect.
I love the HELLL out of Red Steel 2, first I played Red Steel when I was younger, then my brother got me Red Steel 2 for christmas and I loved it!
Little kings story is very underrated and deserves more love for being such a beautiful and emmersive game with a great story and it’s just great I’m playing it right now.
Hello, I know this video is 4 years old now, but I wanted to ask if you've ever heard of Trauma Center. That was honestly my favorite Wii game, and I believe it made great use of both the Wii remote and the nunchunk.
Baroque is a fantastic rogue-like too.
so far, my favorite Wii game is Fragile Dreams. Plays like an Action/RPG, feels like a Survival Horror game. I love it, and I love the storyline for the game. definitely a must own for the Wii.
wii was always my go-to for mario kart. The hours spent playing with friends, the late nights winning and loosing were amazing. I miss those days.
I can't say I saw "House of the Dead: Overkill" in your stack of games anywhere, hands down, best on rails shooter ever made, in my humble opinion lol
Forgot to mention Epic Mickey 1 & 2. A must for any Disney fan. Great graphics, great controls with the Wii. Reminds me of the old action games on the N64 from RARE but with much better graphics.
Look at Legends of the Indy 500. It is a great driving game (you can do a complete race) and it includes some interesting features, like drafting, changing tires, refueling, etc. It also lets you advance to better cars from a period where they went from front engine to rear engine (and, IIRC, Andy Granatelli’s turbines).
Endless Ocean Blue World was a fantastic game. Ik GameGrumps made their videos on it, but I can't stress enough how much fun I had as a kid swimming through seas and rivers finding fish, treasure, and even ancient ruins. I really hope that it gets a sequel, or at least remaster, on the switch, as I think it would work great on there.
Good video, I knew there has to be many hidden gems for this system. With the bad reputation and mountains of shovelware they were bound to be overlooked.
Ghost Squad is really awesome. I went into GameStop earlier this week (yes we all hate GameStop but just keep reading) and I ended up finding Ghost Squad for 99 cents. Its such a great game and I would recommend checking GameStop for one on the cheap.
I got Red Steel 2 at Game Stop yesterday. Also I recommend Klonoa on the Wii. It's a true Klonoa game and is very colorful!
My top 5 favorite wii games
5.) Mini Ninjas
4.) 101 in 1 party megamix
3.) Cursed Mountain
2.) Dead Space Extraction
1.) Brothers in Arms: Double Time!
Super Paper Mario. Despite not being as good as the gamecube or n64 games, I consider it a must play for wii owners since it is still a fantastic game in its own right with fantastic writing.
Also Last Story, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, and the downloadable wiiware games Max and the Magic Marker and Defend Your Castle Wii edition.
Awesome, I didn't have a few of those. I will recommend Little Kings Story, Dewy's Adventure, and the Munchables. To those who are hunting hidden gems
Skyward Sword is actually really hard to find. Granted, I would have had a better time ordering it online, but I searched the shelves of Game Stop every time I went, and I found it after about a month. They didn't have a new copy though. It just isn't as easy to find as some of the other Zelda games, even though it was the most recent release. And SS did receive a bunch of criticism and hate from some Zelda fans.
I heard "Fragile Dreams" was a flawed but interesting game; the "A Boy And His Blob" remake sounds intriguing as well
lol I feel the same way. I just bought my Wii last week and I love it. always thought that this console was so lame until I actually own it. the games are really fun.
I don't know if it's already been suggested or if you've already played it and decided that it's not worth posting about, but I personally found Onichanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers to be an over-the-top cheesy good time.
It's like nachos from a stadium concession; you know it's kind of bland and definitely not good for you, but for the time and place it's a nice treat.
Monster Lab(simple but GREAT artwork and feel), Excite Bots(THE racing game), Tenchu(more of a puzzle game)
Lost in Shadow looks like something that would become a downloadable indie game on Steam/XBLA/wherever. No surprise that it flopped as a retail game on the Wii. Also, it looks VERY reminiscent of "Limbo".
Exitetruck, Heavenly Guardian, A Boy and His Blob, Ivy the Kiwi, Boomblox, Opoona, Spongebob Truth or Square, Sin and Punishment Zack and Wiki, Guilty Party, Madworld, . Not all wii exclusive or really hidden gems, but still great games.
I would also add Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars!
I think its a really fun, kind of old-school, 3D plattformer. It was funny and also really enjoyable to play!
Tatsunoko vs Capcom! Even if you're not a fighting fan, this game is amazingly easy to get into.
Sin and punishment has been the best surprise I got from a game in so many time :')
