We usually only do bargain round ups for games, but this one needs pointing out as it’s a freaking great deal. It’s also funny too, because it’s from Harvey Norman who used to hate Nintendo. But for this weekend, Harvey Norman is selling both black and white Wii’s for the low low price of $198- that’s a full $100 off RRP (and a full 50% off the original price). You get a copy of Vacation Isle Beach Party too, but really who needs that when you have the following list of games!
Yes we’ve put together a list of more than 20 Wii games we consider to be essentials and no, not all of them are from Nintendo. We’ve also listed some great WiiWare games.
Don’t forget that the Wii only comes with one Nunchuck and Wii Remote, so you’ll definitely want to pick up another set of those for some multiplayer action.
Recommended Wii Games
New Super Mario Bros Wii
"Nintendo’s crafted another great Mario game, don’t doubt it." Read Our Review
"The best game on the Wii, Nintendo has taken the bar of what a Wii game and a Mario game should be and taken its own advice and shot off into the Galaxy with it. I said the brilliance of Galaxy wouldn’t be replicated in a long time in that review, but clearly I was wrong." Read our Review
Punch-Out!!
"Do not question whether this game will be good or not—every Wii owner should have this gem in their collection." Read Our Review
Metroid Prime Trilogy
"A definite purchase for anyone who enjoys a great adventure game or even sci-fi in general." Read Our Review
Monster Hunter Tri
"An excellent example of how a third party Wii game should be done, and a future benchmark for online play to all developers working on the system. Monster Hunter tri is the ultimate package for the hardcore gamer, and one of the best titles available on the Wii." Read Our Review
"An absolute blast to play with a gameplay experience that evolves as the player learns. A must play for serious Wii owners." Read Our Review
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure
"A true gem and hopefully we’ll see enough sales to see a fresher and broader sequel." Read our Review
Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Skies
"It’s well worth the price that you’ll pay for it and definitely will be considering that Nintendo Australia are (foolishly) not releasing it over here. A must have." Read Our Review
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
"I’ve said it before and I’ll definitely say it again, Muramasa: The Demon Blade is one of the most beautiful video games that I’ve ever played, and that includes titles released on the Wii’s high definition cousins." Read Our Review
"The platforming is great, the puzzles are original. Haven’t I said all of this already? It’s just a really nice game." Read Our Review
Wii Sports Resort
"If the other Wii MotionPlus games didn’t sell you on the idea then this will. A worthy follow up to Wii Sports, and works as advertised." Read Our Review
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
"So have the years of tireless waiting for the best Zelda game of all time been worth it? Hell yes. " Read Our Review
Rabbids Go Home
"Thankfully, there’s no signs of Ubisoft phoning it in here, with a title that I can recommend without hesitation to younger audiences. It’s understandable, however, that those with more experience with games in general may see it as being too easy, and as such lack any real challenge." Read Our Review
Mario Kart Wii
"Mario Kart Wii is a solid product that once again holds firm Nintendo’s philosophy that core gamer and non gamer can play nice." Read Our Review
Dead Space Extraction
"One of the best games that the Wii has to offer and one of the best spin-offs that feels like a complete standalone experience, rather than a rushed downgraded port." Read Our Review
"Certainly one of the Wii’s best and brightest games. Every part of design comes together to create something quite spectacular. Look past the cutesy box art and you will find a deep and challenging adventure in a living and breathing world." Read Our Review
deBlob
"I have no reservations recommending deBlob to any Wii owner. It is a fantastic platforming/puzzle game that has a unique premise and is executed almost perfectly. It is charming, entertaining, and most importantly, a whole lot of fun." Read Our Review
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
"Definitely worth it for Resident Evil fans, and still pretty high up there for the casual player, too." Read Our Review
"The obscene dialogue alone is enough to drive the short yet satisfying single player, with enough fun for a friend to tag along too in co-op and mini game modes." Read Our Review
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
"No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle rectifies all the problems I had with the original game, and adds in a whole bunch of new features that feel just right." Read Our Review
Boom Blox Bash Party
"One of the best family-friendly party games available for any console. Buy it." Read Our Review
Super Smash Bros Brawl
"Brawl succeeds in its mission of appeasing fans while allowing new fans from many franchises to join the fray, and apart from one or two little niggles, the game will be entertaining Wii owners for a long time yet. Smashing." Read Our Review
Wii Fit Plus (No Vooks Review)
Resident Evil 4 (No Vooks Review)

So what did we miss? Is their any game on the list that you think people should get? Honestly, we might have missed it, so let us know.
Makes sense to us.
