Just bought a Nintendo Wii

What are some essential games for this system?

Got it for cheap from an acquaintance of my mom. It's a long story but I got it for around 50 bucks. Never had a Wii before, because I always thought that wagglan was trash. Fact is that I'm kinda bored and just took this opportunity.

Show me what you got!

rhythm heaven fever

Skies of Arcadia, F-Zero GX, Melee, the list goes on...

Mad World

Wii Music

those are gamecube games

The trauma center series
Resident Evil 4
Mario Galaxy
Rhythm Heaven
Install a bunch of WADs and emulate whatever the fuck you can think of

The Wii has no games. Should've gotten a Gamecube instead

No More Heroes
Mad World
Sonic & The Secret Rings
The trifecta of ultimakino

Yes, you flip that flap on the top open and there's where the controllers and memory card go.

Fragile Dreams
Rodea the Sky Soldier
Kororinpa
The Conduit
Ghost Squad
Red Steel 2

Why?

Super Smash Bros Brawl so you can install Project+

Everything Nintendo, Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Kirby itp.
Get some of the Just Dance games, Wii isn't the best way to play them, but it has every up to 2019.
Metroid Prime Trilogy is the best to play on the Wii because of the controls.
Samba de Amigo is quite clunky on the Wii, but if you don't have Switch or the original very expensive Dreamcast version it's OK for some casual play.
Wii is very good for shotter games, both light gun, FPS and TPS. Get House of the Dead Overkill, 2 and 3, get Ghost Squad, get Resident Evil games, even Call of duty is fun with IR aiming,
Bully has a quite good port on Wii.
Driver San Francisco and Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands have completely different versions on the Wii, worth playing.
Wii Sports, Party, Play and other are must have on Wii.
Punch Out is also fun.

Monster Hunter 3U

They're dogshit games only loved by suda/nintendo cultists desperate to pitch the wii as a mature game console due to their own insecurities. The worst of the worst people.

Wrong console

How important is Wii Motion Plus or whatever it's called? That addon thingy for the Wii mote?

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 has some fun minigames

It's required to play some games, it's supported in some more. The games requiring it are very good and have precise motion controls, not mindless waggle like in the base Wii remote, so it's worth to buy that addon or a remote that has it built in

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor.

I really like Opoona.

all these shitty multiplats

lol

House of Dead 2&3 Return, gun peripherals, wrist weights.

No more heroes 1 & 2
Rhythm Heaven
Red Steel 2

lol

Go back.

Madworld is a little rough around the edges, but it is fun, faggot-kun.

Not all Wiis can do that.

Which Wii version should I get for homebrew?

You first

Any of the ones with gamecube ports.

Aren't they known for overheating?

Wii Sports Resort
Smash bros Brawl (Fuck the haters)
Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Metroid Prime trilogy
Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword
Mario Kart Wii
No More Heroes 1 and 2
Punch Out
The Blob
Kirby Return to Dreamland
Mario bros Wii
Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 and 2
Pokemon Battle Revolution

Oh and Mad World

Don't turn on wiiconnect24 because it hasn't been used for 15 years?

Nah
It's made of Nintendium

what?

You didn't know?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

dude

We Cheer 2
Unironically

What don't you get? Turn off Wii Connect 24. Fixes the problem. You're like one of those idiots that doesn't get that 480p on the Wii is the same as the GC now.

Brawl
Otherwise, softmod and get some gamecube goodness

It's just wagglan trash, install Nintendon't and emulators.

I'm not a tranny.

What are some good gamecube games?

Power Stone at home

and I fucking love it, the Wii version has a bit more content than the GC/PS2 version

Tatsunoko vs Capcom
