Top 5 Wii Games to Destined to Become Classics

Back in the days when the Wii was relevant.
The Wii is dead. That is what everyone was writing about 3 months ago, but of course this site is late to the party. Well either way here is the Top 5 Wii Games to Destined to Become Classics.
5. Kirby's Epic Yarn:
When ever you first look at a game the first thing you notice is the visual flair. Whether you feel graphics are important or not, it can't be denied that Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of the best looking games of this/last generation. While most games of recent have aimed for hyper-realism in visuals, Kirby said, or the developers said, that art style is more important then realism. Even if you don't agree with that you do have to admit that this is a pretty damn good game. Besides the great gameplay it also has a lovely score and some really memorable quotes:


4. Xenoblade Chronicles:
Non-Nintendo gamers are aware of this title due to the (much deserved) hissy-fit Operation Rainfall had. That isn't a bad thing though because the just might be the definitive JRPG of this generation. Like all of the other games on this list it features a great soundtrack. The story at first feels a bit clichéd but as you play more you come to realize how well it holds up with other story-driven games of this generation.

3. The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess:



Being a launch title for the system, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will always be looked upon with memories of the Wii. That being said the game it self is fantastic. Though the graphics don't hold up nearly as well as a game like Wind Waker, the darker tone and first T rating for a Zelda game will be remembered.

2. Super Mario Galaxy 2:
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is significant for two reasons.
  1. It marks the first time two 3D Mario games came out on one system
  2. It is awesome
Super Mario Galaxy 2 perfects the greatness of Super Mario Galaxy. It manages to still be innovative by introducing new gameplay mechanics and building upon old ones. Galaxy 2 is arguably the best Mario game and can only be topped by one franchise...

1. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword:
Skyward Sword is the perfect Zelda game. I thought nothing would replace Ocarina of Time as the best of the best but I was wrong. Of course this is all personal opinion, but between the orchestrated soundtrack, the first in a Zelda game, and the best motion controls in any game ever this takes the cake. Sorry Mario but Peach made it for Link. (Never wrote anything that cheesy, sorry.)

  1. Sadly, I haven't played enough of Twilight Princess or any of Skyward Sword to know if those games deserve a spot on this list. I certainly agree with the other three, though. I'd also add Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Little King's Story--you know, if I were to write up such a list :)

  2. Hahahaha...... skyward sword based on the soundtrack and motion controls

    There is no denying the motion controls are phenomenal. Implemented in any other way would have been amazing.

    That being said, I can't stand anything else about this game. Robots? Really Zelda is a fantasy game. The story elements? awful. The overworld? Completely naked and boring. The flight mechanic was a gimmick of such grand proportions, that it only rivals the idea of the Wii itself.

    The villains were horrible......and then......and then comes the linear "open world dungeons" with the hand holding.....the relentless.....unyielding.....unceasing hand holding.

    Groose.....god **** groose..... I hate this game so much

  3. I disrespectively disagree with you there. I thought it was a great installment, maybe even better than OoT (though Majoras Mask is my top favorite.)

  4. This List is missing both "Pandora's Tower" and "The Last Story". Replace the two Zeldas with these, because one is a Gamecube port with waggling placed over it and the other is a Wii Sports Resort clone with a Zelda skin and a terrible game flow.
