Games retro wii

For anyone wondering what on earth Fire Emblem is, its a tactical role-playing game that, like World of Goo, requires the mind of a war general to complete. Players battle over gridded areas in true RPG fashion, with turn-based action cropping up left, right, and centre.

Players follow Micaiah, a member of the Dawn Brigade rebelling against the occupying forces of Tellius. I like the fact that the plot moves between different factions of this war-ravaged land; it keeps players on their toes and provides plenty for us to sink our teeth into. Like the new Digimon game , some players die never to return. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was… nay, is one of the best Nintendo Wii games in my collection. Everyone knows how Guitar Hero games work by now.

This game is the first in a series of Guitar Hero games focusing primarily on one legendary rock act. Mixed with real interviews with the band and a career mode where players retrace their footsteps through venues that launched their career, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a title that every classic rock fan should own.

Punch Out!! Whether battling two player or taking Little Mac through the single player mode, this game requires the reflexes of a gazelle.

Still, with Mike Tyson hinting at a new Punch Out game for the Nintendo Switch, we might be seeing the big man himself returning to the virtual ring real soon.

Still, the list of characters to battle against is exciting enough without him, and players will relish working their way to the top. Those who love using Little Mac in Super Smash Bros Ultimate can finally see where it all started out for him in this updated, funky-fresh remake.

Like Guitar Hero, it requires players to follow on-screen prompts, hitting coloured buttons in time with famous tracks. The difference with DJ Hero is that players use a turntable, and the tracks are all epic dance tunes from bands like Daft Punk! The DJ Hero Wii Turntable works in the same way as the Guitar Hero remote, but instead of strumming and caning the whammy bar, players scratch a vinyl record while pressing buttons.

The good news is that the turntable works for both DJ Hero titles and, unlike the Guitar Hero guitars that look unmistakably like toys, this bit of kit looks really impressive when left out on display. Rock Band 2 takes the 30th spot in this list of the best Wii games of all time!

Keeping on with the playing-along feels, Rock Band brings multiple instruments together including vocals, bass, and drums, making up a real… well, a real Rock Band! Guitar Hero is all well and good, but Rock Band allows drummers, basists, and singers to join the fray too. Rock Band 2 brought newly designed controllers with it, giving users even more control over their chosen instrument. Well, 84 came with the disc as well as 20 free-to-download tracks. However, over tunes have since been released for the Wii.

Whether singing through a USB mic or blasting out beats on the plug-in drum kit, this game is an absolute beast and well worth having in any collection. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes the 29th spot in this list of the best Nintendo Wii games of all time! For those new to the world of Bully, imagine GTA but set in a school. Developers worried that the violent content would affect sales.

Over 1. Gamers take Jimmy Hopkins through Bullworth Academy. This game is jam-packed full of features to explore and NPCs to encounter. Jimmy uses skateboards, go-karts, and bikes, as well as getting around on foot from time to time. The Scholarship Edition features new dialogue, extra missions, better clothes, and lots more fine-tuned elements including the use of Motion Controls. Okami released for the PS2 back in It follows Amaterasu, a sun goddess that transforms into a magnificent white wolf named Shiranui.

Armed with magical abilities, Shiranui must bring life back to a bleak world using the Celestial Brush. Okami as an elegant title with lots of subtle nuances, exactly the type of thing one might say when looking at a fantastic piece of art! Sonic Unleashed is one of those games that people either love or hate.

They love it because it brings a different dynamic to the Sonic franchise, or they hate it for the same reason. I love the fact that Sonic mutates into a Werehog in this game.

Well, Egghead Eggman has released Dark Gaia on the world after destroying parts of the earth using his super-duper-Eggman-laser-beam. Whenever our blue-spiked hero touches Dark Gaia, he becomes the Werehog. Gameplay splits between zooming around epic levels during the day and beating back scores of baddies at a much slower pace at night. Imagine, if you will, Call of duty with Link fighting a boat-load of Skeletons. It boasts Skyward Sword-style graphics with our green-garbed hero mowing down wave after wave of enemies with his trusty weapon.

The game boasts 9 levels with three gameplay styles. Play through Target Shooting, stationary Defender Levels , and Ranger levels where link fights through forests encroaching on an enemy camp. Face up against Boses, battle mates, and put your skills to the test in one of the greatest series of all time.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii brings classic Mario side-scrolling feels to the Nintendo Wii in a new adventure! Control Mario through eight worlds, bouncing on enemies and defeating Bowsers minions in a bid to rescue Princess Peach. Yoshi makes an appearance, and other features like the Super Guide allow new players to the series to enjoy the game without any stresses.

The action might be in 2. What a way to start off this list of the best Nintendo Wii games! Before Breath of the Wild arrived on the scene, Xenoblade Chronicles was the biggest open-world title on any Nintendo console.

If exploring and collecting games are your bag, then this is the Wii title for you. Players can move through the richly textured world using the Wii Nunchuck Controller and Wiimote.

Side quests and enemies are hiding in every corner, and the game even has a day and night system that alters item availability, enemies, and other important factors like abilities and powers. Xenoblade Chronicles makes use of the standard RPG battle view mode but differs from other titles with a real-time battle control system. Next up is an action role playing title of a very different design though is every bit as exciting to play. Many of our readers may well have finished Paper Mario: Origami King recently.

Players are fighting to stop a guy called Count Bleck from destroying the universe, assumably by paper-cutting him into submission. A lot of people have had mixed feelings over the turn-based battle system in Origami King. For me, Rayman titles are right up there with Mario and Sonic titles as some of the best platform games ever made, and Rayman Origins is a must-have game for any Wii collection.

The side-scrolling levels stay true to the original Rayman and provide up to four players with a captivating adventure. So what is our floating-footed hero up to in the fourth instalment of his series.? As with other Rayman titles, you must rescue Electoons and pick up new abilities along the way if you want to progress.

There is plenty of collecting and enemy-stomping action for players to sink their teeth into, along with puzzles to test that grey matter. The Wii version has been rated highest out of all the major console ports, so grab a copy and try the best of the best! Every Mario Tennis game has brought immense fun to gamers all over the globe, and Mario Power Tennis is certainly no exception.

Ok, so we all know which the best tennis game is for the Nintendo Wii, but Mario Power Tennis provides a nice alternative by swapping Mii characters with some of your favourite Mushroom Kingdom faces.

Squaring off in a doubles match against Wario and Waluigi never gets old, and the courts are all nicely portrayed along with camoes from other Mario characters watching from the sidelines.

If any readers have played Mario Power Tennis for the Gamecube , then this title is virtually the same. There are 18 different characters to choose from including the unusual tennis opponent Petey Piranha. Each player has a power shot that they can use, hence the name of the game.

The format is similar to Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and incredibly intuitive for first time gamers. Pikmin 2 is a game that infuriated me no end, which shows that it certainly had an effect on me.

Any game that can make you shout and curse yet still come back for more time and time again is a special one, which is why Pikmin 2 deserves a spot in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games of all time. Having said all that, I found Pikmin 2 easier to play than the original Pikmin game thanks to the removal of the day time limit. Like the original game, Pikmin 2 sees you controlling Captain Olimar as he explores an unknown planet using Pikmin to do his bidding.

This time, Olimar is joined by another spaceman called Louie, and they can take Pikmin around separately as they look for treasure. But what the heck are Pikmin, I can hear some of our readers shouting? Well, Pikmin are little microscopic plant people that are coloured based on their ability. Olimar can throw Pikmin to retrieve items or send them into battle against enemies.

The overworld in Pikmin 2 has fewer enemies than the original game, leaving you to explore and experience the game without as much peril.

Next up on our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is Need for Speed Carbon , a high-speed racing game where the cops are definitely not on your side. Carbon is the 10th Need for Speed title in the series, which shows that gamers seriously love this franchise. The gameplay revolves around illegal street races and battling rival gangs for driving glory.

One of the best bits about Need for Speed games is the customisation options. My dad used to spend hours choosing the right colours and decals on his cars, only to unlock new features and go back to the drawing board all over again. And of course, the multiplayer was amazing, providing a more mature racing experience for anyone kidding themselves that Mario Kart is for kids.

Anyway, rant over. Resident Evil 4 is an epic title and one that works really well with the Wiimote and Nunchuck combination. You could always use the Wii Zapper peripheral for those uber-realistic zombie-slaying feels.

The Wiimote acts as a gun pointer in this game, shooting wherever you point the remote on the screen. The villagers in Resident Evil 4 are much smarter too. They can work together to try and stop you, wielding weapons and throwing projectiles in their mission to eat you alive.

Fans of the PS4 game Ghosts of Tsushima will enjoy the samurai elements of this game immensely, especially as you can hack, slash, and parry using the Wiimote as your sword! One of the best bits about Red Steel 2 is that you can fight up to six people at once on screen. Sometimes, however, it can be a bit Agent Smith Vs Neo, with tonnes of enemies queueing up to have a go at you! You play as the last surviving member of the Kusagari Clan, a fighter who must retrieve his sword from some evil lads who tried to drag him across the desert while tied to a motorbike!

Wielding a katana is one thing, but using your Wiimote to swing a lightsaber around is another thing entirely! This title has its own place between the first two series in the Star Wars timeline, not in the order that they came out.

It lets you use the Force, for crying out loud! Up next in our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is one of my favourite multiplayer games of all time; Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. How best to describe this game for someone who has never played it before…?

My mates and I spent hours on this game, wielding the Wiimote in all manners to try and come out victorious at the end of the round. Nintendo sure knows how to do couch co-op games well, and the Wii was a console that certainly brought people together. If you want a change from slugging baseballs or skiiing down a slope, then give Smooth Moves a try.

First up is Mario Strikers Charged , a mad Nintendo take on a football match with all of the items you might expect from Mario Kart and more besides making an appearance. Thanks to the WiFi connectivity, you can actually play other users all over the world.

The pitches on Mario Strikers Charged all have various elements that make play more lively or, in most cases, more difficult, There are obstacles to tackle and lots of items to either collect or avoid as you try to go for goal. Any game where you might get flattened by a Chain Chomp is a winner in my book! Everyone loves a Mario Party game. The only thing that ground my gears about this game was the fact that the main mode never seemed to go into widescreen and always stayed in Mario Party 8 sees players moving through different boards as they collect coins and try to buy stars.

The boards are introduced and compered by MC Ballyhoo and his weird talking hat that spouts out coins…. At the end of every round is a game where players can compete for coins. Once bitter console rivals, Mario and Sonic put their differences aside back in when they co-hosted their first Olympic Games title. Seeing Bowser tackle a canoe sprint or Eggman show-jumping is something else, and Sonic could certainly give Usain Bolt a run for his money! Why is London my favourite edition? I guess it was just the most popular at the time because of the Olympics being in the UK.

This is another great game if you want your kids to exercise without them knowing it. This is a no brainer for large family get-togethers or if you and your mates are revisiting the delights of couch co-op gaming.

One of the best N64 games returns with an updated version for the Nintendo Wii. The bond character looks and sounds more like Daniel Craig than Pierce Brosnan. The appearance of some characters have also been modified, and some have been omitted entirely.

Instead of a watch to scan documents, Bond now has a phone too. The multiplayer still boasts all of the features that made this game so great on the N64, however. Next up on our list of the best Nintendo Wii games is Wii Fit , the 8th best selling game of all time for any console with 43,, copies sold! Nintendo perfectly executed the active play dream with the Wii, and Wii Fit and the accompanying Wii Balance Board added a whole new way to exercise… or play… exerplay?

The Wii Balance Board is pressure sensitive, meaning that it can sense how much pressure you exert with one or both of your feet at the same time. This meant that you could use it for everything from step aerobics to ski slaloming on the Mii games. Either way, it was way more than a gimmick. This game and accessory combo was a huge success for Ninty and yet another example of why the Wii was close to becoming the best selling home console of all time!

Kirby must help Prince Fluff by collecting magical yarn in order to stitch Patch Land back together. Instead of stealing enemies abilities like in Smash Bros, Kirby can turn into other objects such as a tank or a submarine in order to progress through the many levels. Any fans of the best SNES games will be all too familiar with this next entry on our list.

Expect all of the same vine-swinging and rhino-riding action as the first Donkey Kong Country game, as well as Donkey and Diddy teaming up to reclaim their banana hoard. Donkey Kong Country Returns does away with the old pre-rendered graphics of the original title and brings in beautifully textured levels that add depth via faded backgrounds.

Some of you might be wondering where the first Super Mario Galaxy title is in this list. This game series certainly brought about the idea of Super Mario Odyssey and shares many similarities with its successor. In Galaxy 2, Mario hops through various galaxies as he searches for Power Stars in a bid to not only save the universe, but also, and you guessed it, save Peach from Bowser. Brawl in it, did you? This version has 39 playable characters, which was the most of any Smash Bros game at the time too.

I also like how characters such as Link and Samus have been upgraded too, appearing more like their Wii game variants rather than using classic designs from different consoles. My one complaint with Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the Wiimote itself, but thankfully, gamers could use other controllers to get into the Smash action.

Over 38 composers clubbed together to work on the score for this title. Every song adds to the tension of the battle, with many themes from the different levels being recreated in true Smash Bros-style.

If you like fighting games, Nintendo characters, and beating your friends at games, then this is a title you need. CHT titles since the. CHT titles are much cleaner. Take a moment to extract the cheat files now and clean up any file names if necessary.
