My Wii Game Collection! (170 GAMES: Best, $$$ & Hidden Gems)

[@alib315]

Really appreciate you showing off gameplay, it's a difficult endeavour, but adds so much value!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I played a LOT of Wii games this week. Lost a lot of Wii footage a few years ago with a hard drive crash, so I had to recapture all of it for this video. That said, it was a pretty fun 👍

[@romandoo]

@@MetalJesusRocks Just wanted to say, thank you for adding gameplay videos to your MJR Extras channel. The more we can preserve, the better.

[@fireheartgames]

@Arcade Kaos Mine too. So many great and unique games for the Wii.

[@trendydwarf3747]

Thank you man ,your such a positive man

[@darthboxOriginal]

Totally agree...thanks for the great content MJR!

[@Level1Sword]

I always appreciated when games would have motion controls but the developers knew those controls aren't for everyone, so they'd let you use whatever controller setup you preferred.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

Then there is the Conduit games along with Black Ops. Not only were multiple control methods allowed with Conduit 2 onwards, but they let you customize the motion controls so much! It honestly was insane the level of customization both Conduit 2 and Black Ops provided to players.

[@serbstero4734]

The fact you showed that much gameplay is impressive. A lot of work put into the video and that's one of the reasons I've been subscribed to your channel for over 8 years.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks for noticing. I try to capture gameplay footage for most of my videos. It’s takes a long time, but also makes my videos stand out. 👍

Here are three more Wii Hidden Gems that MetalJesus has never talked about: -Dragon Quest Swords (Beautiful light gun game...but with swords) -Jambo! Safari Animal Rescue (Obscure but fun Sega Arcade Game Remake) -Fortune Street (Addictive Mario/Dragon Quest Monopoly game)

[@daniel.phaneuf5566]

It was my first Dragon Quest game. One of my student gave it to me. I've read a lot about the series after playing it and I discover how important the series of games was for the video game industry

[@GameAddict84]

The Last Story is my absolute favorite Wii game, such an amazing game and the story had me really hooked, it's one of those games that made me feel sad once it was over as it felt like I was saying goodbye to longtime friends, not many games have had that impact on me.

[@txrracxtta]

I cannot recommend Endless Ocean and Endless Ocean: Blue World enough. Some of the greatest Wii games ever right there, and some of the most beautiful at that.

[@johnhancockretro]

I love ExciteBots. One of the best racing games on the Wii. Bit Trip Complete is also a favorite of mine.

[@jsprigz9900]

The kirby collection is done really well and was only priced at or around $40 when it first came out. I don’t understand why Nintendo hasn’t done anything like that since then.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

But then they also gave us Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition that was just the same SNES cart and no additional games. Many believe it was a lazy port and Nintendo could've added more games to it.

I know he mentions the Conduit games being generic (The Conduit definitely fits that bill,) but Conduit 2 is honestly something special in my opinion. I am glad I got it again in my collection as it shows just how much the developer grew from the first game. It is just an overall fun FPS on the Wii and is really fun to play with multiple people. The story itself isn't anything special, but the way it isn't taken seriously just makes it better in my opinion. Also the weapon variety is great fun. What is really awesome is that fans of the game got its servers up and running. Every Sunday they get together and play Conduit 2. I highly recommend getting it.

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

I just did the same!

[@ShaneRob93]

I worked at Goodwill for over 3 years and Wii Sports was hands down the most common game that came in, literally saw hundreds of copies. However, it was also the one that had the most bad copies because the disc was just a hockey puck. So I think part of the reason it's high is because good, usable copies are becoming less and less common.

[@GregAtlas]

A note about the Nights game is that some of the features don't work on it anymore since components like the Wii weather channel no longer function. If I remember right, the game synced up with the weather channel to reflect your local weather.

[@AbsoluteSkycaptain]

Oh MAN, i used to play Ghost Squad at my local arcade all the time back in the day! Had no idea it was on the Wii, gonna have to hunt down a copy!

[@JessP1]

The last game I played on my actual Wii was "The Last Story" which was a good rpg. Recommend that one.

[@ArveEriksson]

I'm... sort of playing that on my WiiU now (hiatus - got inexplicably hooked on Another Eden and stuff on my 3DS). Loving the voices, some of the music is very good, but the combat system isn't doing me any favours. Oof...

So pleased for Pandora's Tower to get a mention here. I know, it's not a perfect game, but as MJR said, it has its own unique style. Wish there were more games trying to be different like this. Given that it was released at the end of the Wii's lifespan (just before the Wii U was released), I don't think it did very well in terms of sales. Chances of a HD remaster are pretty unlikely, but I'd like one none the less.

The digital version is cheaper, but there is something special about the physical release. I am less familar with the US version of the game, but in the UK, it's in a black case with great cover art and even a manual! (Those were the days!) There's even a limited edition too, but unfortunatley, I don't own a copy - they are pretty expensive now.

[@dnizy]

1 of my favourite implementations of wii controls was in pro evolution soccer (can’t remember which year). What that game did was allowed you more control of your team than probably any other soccer game I’ve played before or since. 1 of the best things was you could grab a player who didn’t have the ball, point to where he should run to and the player with the ball would try to pass to that location. In other games you have a “through ball” option, but the system decides where that to aim the ball and possibly even which player is the target.

If I had to rank games on the Wii, I'd put them in this order: 15. Mario Kart Wii (not a huge racing game guy) 14. Fragile Dreams Remnants of The Moon (I love the atmosphere of this JRPG. It has so much detail and is one of the most unforgettable titles on the system, even if it's combat is a bit meh.) 13. The Last Story (The opposite of Fragile Dreams. Combat can be great, and story has its great moments, but the world itself isn't anything unique for me. Still a great game though and has its moments that I love.) 12. Muramasa The Demon Blade 11. 007 Goldeneye 10. Red Steel 2 (great combat system and very smart art direction. Needs a sequel.) 9. No More Heroes 8. Conduit 2 (A very solid shooter that completely blows the first game out of the water in every department. I use to think it was just okay, but as I got older I had to put Conduit 2 higher on my list. It is so fun to replay and it absolutely needs to get a sequel on Switch. Here's hoping that Conduit 3 is the AAA project that High Voltage Software is working on next.) 7. Kirby's Epic Yarn (such a pleasure to play) 6. Super Smash Bros Brawl (tons of replayability and is the game that got me into competitive fighting games.) 5. Donkey Kong Country Returns (easily the best 2D platformer of its generation) 4. Xenoblade Chronicles (best JRPG of its generation, and it's influence can be seen in recent games in the genre.) 3. Skyward Sword (one of the most beautiful Zelda games, with a fantastic world to explore even if it is linear. I just love how this game started to really enforce lore into the series.) 2. Metroid Prime 3 (My personal favorite Metroid Prime game. The environments, creature design, and world building just really makes Prime 3 something special to behold. It really was a fantastic game to end the original trilogy. It is honestly crazy how well the graphical presentation of this game holds up to this day.) 1. Super Mario Galaxy (Easily my favorite platformer of all time. It holds up well to this day and has something special to it that I just can't explain.) (Bonus game) I actually would put this at number 1, but am not sure if it's fair to count 2 Zelda games in the same list especially when one of them is also on Gamecube. That game is Twilight Princess. There is so much to talk about with this game, but I have no idea where to even begin. It has my favorite combat system in the series, has my favorite story to any Zelda game as it feels like the threat requires more than just a hero to defeat (hell there is even a group of heroes that help Link throughout the game in actually great ways,) has my favorite dungeon designs, and has its own unique lore that I am still discovering stuff from to this day. There's a reason why it is tied with my favorite game of all time, and I would most certainly say it is my favorite Wii game ever made.

The Wii truly had an enormous library. I've seen games today I didn't even know existed! (I fancied myself somewhat knowledgeable on the system:P). I have a feeling Wii games might be highly collectible in the future because of the motion control, especially if Nintendo stopped doing it all together. Love the video again and cheers from Holland!

watching this again as i have now got myself back into Wii, great video man

[@TechWithSean]

Wii is all about homebrew for me. Loading up a ton of Wii and GameCube ISO’s on an external hard drive is some of the most fun you can have on a CRT TV. Retro stuff, virtual console, so many import games, a few good Wii games, there is a ton of stuff it can play.

Excellent video you have a lot more Wii games and I do. I always love watching your hidden gems before. Thanks

[@hellking36]

Good video as always You ever think about just reviewing music (besides talking about vinyl pickups) It's on brand.

[@fortunax22]

Tough to review music, can’t monetize due to DMCA

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I'd love to do more music reviews, but it's nearly impossible to play any samples on KZbin without getting a copyright claim or strike.

[@hellking36]

@@MetalJesusRocks I would recommend watching two minutes to late night as they manage to do album reviews really well without using the music that much. Also good show overall.

Really glad I found my Wii in the attic the other day. There’s so many games I never finished because I got so caught up in the PlayStation 3 hype lol

[@patg108]

what about the WORST nintendo wii games you own and the hidden shovelware? THAT needs a video too!

[@MrVisde]

This is why I love the Wii U. Plays the classic Wii games + hidden gems...and about half of Nintendo’s first party releases for the Switch.

I am so happy that you mentioned the Conduit games. I personally view Conduit 2 as a special game on the system though. It is easily the best FPS on the console and had both great art direction, and weapon variety along with a cheesy yet fun to replay single player campaign. Thanks for mentioning them!
