you are the hero!

[@MrJ0mmy]

i hate how everbody i know or talk too say the wii just has 2 or 3 good games the rest are shit i beg to differ the wii has so many good games

[@wiscokid7619]

I agree. Just like everyone said the GameCube was a crappy system. Now it's THE system of that generation to find games for.

[@b.freeee]

@@MrJ0mmy same with WiiU. Fantastic machine with great games. Just not enough.... disappointed in 3rd parties for that. Specifically EA with the FIFA series...

[@KitaNashGaming]

Your hidden gem videos are the best! So many great games go completely unnoticed, but videos like these keep them alive.

[@b.freeee]

Agreed, and the shirt rocks \m/ where do you find that?

[@hadesthegod9181]

MetalJesus is a man's man. Just a really lovable guy doing what he loves and sharing it with the world. I am so happy I've known about his channel for years because it has made my life better.

[@FeatureHighlight]

Very good video pal! Here are some other wii games you might have missed: Sky Crawlers: innocent aces / Rune Factory Frontier / Tenchu Shadow Assassin / Prince of Persia: the forgotten sands. The following ones are a bit more popular... Silent hill: shattered memories / Resident evil: the darkside chronicles. Enjoy! :3

[@CorneliousRR]

Not bad choices all around! Some of the list actually surprised me, and is making me reconsider a lot of these games that I had written off. Love your videos man, keep up the good work!

[@mastermadj7943]

i just realised that DeBlob looks like Splatoon

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I know, right?! Splatoon looks like a ton of fun!

[@mikepellegrino133]

Or rather Splatoon looks like deBlob :)

[@alextownley9388]

+MasterMadj Except that De Blob came out 7 years prior to Platoon.. lol

[@zapkido2830]

When I saw the eyes in the first Splatoon trailer, I honestly thought it was De Blob.

[@megustaelindie]

It is like Splatoon but fighting against the communists.

[@MeanMrMustard1]

Sega should've brought updated versions of the Panzer Dragoon games to the Wii. What a wasted opportunity to get those games back out there for those who missed it on the Saturn.

[@InputArchive]

MeanMrMustard1 If I remember correctly. Sega have lost the source codes for the Panzer dragoon games

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

Well, ironically enough, we are getting a Panzer Dragoon remake for the Nintendo Switch now.

[@DragonmasterA1ex]

"Ultra cool dude Travis Touchdown" lol

[@scottmichaelhedge5055]

Sin and Punishment is a great game. Highly underrated. A truly buried ''Treasure'' treasure.

[@tvandlust]

Even though I usually own most of the games in these gems videos, I still love watching them and hearing your enthusiasm.

[@mikepellegrino133]

Not sure if it was mentioned in any other video but I think Deadly Creatures is a hidden gem. A very unique and cool game where you play as a spider or scorpion.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

That webpage I show in the beginning is Gamestop's site. You get even better deals when they run their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales!

[@frankayers6924]

Just started growing my Wii collection, picked up Sin & Punishment yesterday! Amazing game, so many Wii titles that flew under the radar for me...

[@blazecrespo1]

De Blob was my first and fave wii game.

[@Chakeis]

That Speedracers game made me wish there was a racing game based on the anime movie Redline. That'd be SICK!

[@seal3081]

i love these hidden gems videos. This series has to keep going and going until we run dry out of ideas

[@estragatv396]

Dude, here in Brazil really admire your work. Congratulations on the channel and its collection.

[@JoelDesouzartAhhhhhh]

Estraga TV *Ele eh show mesmo!* 😉

[@tattooedinvestor5015]

I don't know how did youtube recommend this channel to me, but I'm glad it did, I enjoy it so much. Thanks a lot for your super charismatic personality and videos, awesome to watch

[@GmanTheTank]

"Ultra cool guy Travis Touchdown." Hahahaha, Travis is such a goon.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Buyer beware: the Wii Mini sucks. It does not play GameCube discs and it is not compatible with GameCube controllers (Original and Wavebird Wireless) and GameCube memory cards.

[@NumaanTahir]

Well thank you that didn't buy the mini version and when I was deciding I thought the mini was better but your info proved me wrong so thank you

[@MarioMarioD80]

+Dustin Nunn and it doesn't even have wifi ! sry no updates, no online play, no shop thus no wii ware and no virtual console

[@goldenerajrpg3807]

wii servers down....... since two years ago

[@dakotamike]

True, but the Wii Shop Virtual Console is still open for business. Hopefully for a long time to come.

[@ArcaneTuber]

Also, the Wii Mini doesn't have progressive scan, just crappy composite video (yellow cable).

[@Sly88Frye]

Madworld was a great hidden gem. Not too many people play that game by critics loved it, people who played it thought it was a amazing. It's just an overall awesome game with great controls and super violent.

[@RoyTheBoy75]

3:00 I thought Zack and Wiki was a pretty hard game or trial and error! I cant remember!

[@EvaFull]

Awesome Second part. Hope there's a part 3 because there are still so many really good gems to talk about. As for "rare" Wii stuff in the future, I would guess the Wii Mini, the USB Lan Adapter, the exercise bike controller or the 3rd party Wifi Adapter that got discontinued.

[@phath2007]

Another great video MJ. My excitement for the Wii is reborn. I'd like to pickup every game on this list!

[@beardedshadow]

de Blob must've been some type of inspiration for Splatoon I love the Overlord games on PC. They're a ton of fun and full of humour.

[@Kneal2005]

Just found your channel, think I will be preoccupied for a good while reminiscing on the old PC games playlist. Awesome Channel.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks! I'm going to use that video of me dancing as my audition for Dancing With the Stars. I expect to win it all!

[@runitback8592]

tatsunoko vs capcom was awesome on the wii

[@milhouse777]

It's a easy but nice looking title

[@trentblades6668]

I passed it up for $5 at Target on clearance once... still regret it

[@JoelDesouzartAhhhhhh]

RunItBack games *One GREAT gem!!!* 👏👊

[@ryanjackson7387]

Best Capcom vs title made in my opinion.

[@Jedilink109]

I love that he dances at the end because that was my first instinct upon hearing the groovy music.

[@eLJaybud]

+MetalJesusRocks the Shaun White snowboarding games are the only reason I bought a Wii, using a controller and balance board makes it the closest game to actual snowboarding I've played and is the reason I was able to pick up snowboarding for real in about an hour with 30 minutes to stop my brain telling me I was mad and 30 minutes falling over to work out the real balance and edge control required. Within a day I did my first blue run, so I have to recommend it as a must buy as long as it doesn't make Shaun White any more money as the guy is already loaded.

[@LeBadman]

"The world is a colorless place and you have to bring back emotion and color into it". Yeah, sounds familiar.. it's called reality.

[@davidezra5691]

I think a rare accessory will end up being one of the more obscure gun docks, I saw one shaped like an MP5. Or! The Wii Bowling Ball.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

The Wii Mini may not be great, but that won't stop it from being rare and valuable in the future to hardcore collectors who go for Complete Wii collections.

[@Tedris4]

One really good Wii game is Battalion Wars 2. It's basically a 3rd person shooter combined with a real-time strategy game. You directly control one unit in your army, be it on foot or in a vehicle, and you can command everybody else on your team to do what you wish, so you can fight while some of your army does an objective, or the other way around. There are tons of possibilities for how you play and it's really fun. Cutscenes are hilarious, too.

[@cargorunnerUK]

Great selection of games. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor just blew me away. Hard to believe the wii could handle such a fast and impressive looking game.

[@sassytroy8282]

Overlord on 360 was so addictive. Wasn't as huge a fan of part 2 but the first one kept me playing for a while and was so enjoyable. Definitely worth a play if you haven't already!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I have close to 2,500 games I think. Not everything is categorized unfortunately. As for favorite Dream Theater tune? Man...that's tough. Love that band. I guess I'll say pretty much every tune on Scenes from a Memory is great. That album is perfect from beginning to end!

[@corybernazzoli82]

My wife and I are picking up a Wii tonight so coming back to these videos to get some ideas for more games except just Wii Sports lol

[@Revegelance]

As for potentially rare accessories, there's always the limited edition stuff like the Gold Wii Remote+ that came with Skyward Sword, the Gold Classic Controller that came with GoldenEye, and the Gold Nunchuk, which is a Club Nintendo exclusive (which sold out very quickly).

[@Quimbyrbg]

Great vid, MJ. I too am enjoying the fantastic collection frenzy that comes when retailers start clearing a console, I've gotten my hands only nearly every peripheral I've wanted for $10 - $20 brand new. One such bargain was Western Heroes bundled with a rifle for $10 as it's a really fun light gun game. In fact, that's what we're loving about it; My partner doesn't play many games, but she digs light gun games, and the Wii is perfect for them. :)

[@CowardlySpork]

I highly recommend NiGHTS Journey of Dreams for your next video. In terms of gameplay, it's largely similar to the Saturn classic, but with better graphics, a deeper storyline and more varied levels. It feels like the game that the original NiGHTS was trying to be.

[@pimpedoutstereos9747]

8 years later and u were spot on with ur prediction on the Wii mini becoming valuable

[@bnelson383]

The wii mini removed the gamecube backwards compatibility, has no SD card slot(no mods)- I would stay clear of it. The first gen wii works great as a gamecube, the component cable is cheap(huge difference if using an HDTV), and you can easily softmod it.

[@j2jubangi]

Nice videos on Wii hidden gems. Some Wii games I p/u recently: Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandoras Tower, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Naruto CON 2+3, Endless Ocean1+2, FF Chronicles, Deadly Creatures, Mad World, Fire Emblem, Little Kings Story, Free Running, Firefighter, Dawn of Discovery, Samurai Showdown Anthology, The Calling, Tales of Symphonia, and House of the Dead shooters. Didn't play all yet, but I have got my money's worth with the ones I did so far.

[@legisnuntius]

Sin and Punishment 2 is co-op, but one player controls the onscreen character, the other only has a recticle to shoot. It's one of the best shooters I've ever played and the most trippy and surreal. Very beautiful art and a story that makes almost no sense, but you won't care it's lots of fun and lots of intense action.

[@nintyfan1991]

Some underrated gems: -Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (already brought this up, but it's still worth it) -Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 -Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (regarded as mediocre on other systems, but regarded as decent on the Wii)

[@danielcromarty8700]

What's up Metal Jesus!! Just subscribed to the channel, really enjoying your videos, especially the hidden gems. Your quite the character too. Keep up the great work dude.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

It's a cool mix of old school 1930s style animation and Mario. Pretty unique

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

Good to know... there are a lot of hidden gems on the Wii, and most of them are in plain sight! Almost everything you mentioned were games you could find down to $20 brand new after their release, or at least they were when I worked at Target. You might want to also consider a list of not-so-hidden gems (...preferably with a better name); sometimes big name games are terrible, and it helps put lists like what you've already done into perspective.

[@KatieKalamity]

You should look into Excite Truck, or it's sequel, Excite Bots: Trick Racing. The second one's not so much fun imo, but not bad. The first one is a Wii launch title that uses the Wii remote to steer by tilting, and once you get the hang of it and learn how to do boosts and get combos, it gets *really* fun. You can also load up a folder of mp3's on your sd card to be played in a playlist or at random on every track. It's very short, but it's fun to marathon with a friend, passing the remote off.

[@Drakenex]

Dolphin + real Wiimotes + those games = Super HD fun

[@hemlockfury4433]

Gooshes. Bwahaha, love it. Using that from now on instead of gushes! xD New to watching your videos and enjoying them so far. Subscribed!

[@OutOfTouch_YT]

Also many of them I listed either forgotten or just didn't sell at all. So it was worth mentioning.

[@Eichro]

Ever tried the Pro Evolution Soccer games on the Wii? I know soccer/football games are very ubiquitous out there, each console gets at least a couple every year, but the Wii PES games had some pretty unique gameplay. It's worth checking out.

[@GamingMansion]

man I love your videos, bought wii recently and I will not even start with popular games. First I will go with your hidden gems :)

[@derrickshowproductions3010]

It's 5 years into the future and as far as rare wii stuff here it is: Legend of zelda skyward sword bundle (wii and wii remote are mainly the object of value here) Metroid prime trilogy (unopened) Wii stuff hasnt really dropped too much but still has some good games that are now dirt cheap

[@ApenBaard]

theres a walther p99 replica wii gun... not only is it insanely awesome looking, but there also dont seem to be a lot of them going round so maybe those are worth checking into..

[@k-leb4671]

No More Heroes is actually fairly popular from what I know. I mean, out of all the hidden gems you've shown, I reckon No More Heroes is the most well-known among hardcore gamers. I remember I bunch of KZbinrs I was following way back had either reviewed the game or did count-downs or just mentioned how cool it was. I'd love to see a movie series based on No More Heroes 1 and 2. I mean, the style, the humor, the action, the visuals, the interesting-ish plot, the characters...oh man, it would be a blast to see on the big screen with movie budget visuals.

[@bogdi6008]

This channel is pure nostalgia

[@Kolma]

Why would you suggest starting with the second No More Heroes... Go in order guys. 1 and then 2.

[@kasinalpha]

No, Have you played the Second one? They bluntly say at the very beginning of the second game that the story of the first game doesn't mean a thing and actually, it's true due to the surprise in the first game makes a second game not possible but like they say, the second game is it's own little story with few connections to the first game.

[@kasinalpha]

I love the first game for the character. The second one is funner, looks better and played so much better but I have alot of great shocking moments from the first game and the characters were cooler in the first game. But that might make you think the second one isn't fantastic when it is, I say play both. Yeah the first game plays like crap after you play the second one and the game can feel like a drag building your money up but the story is great and the second one just makes it all better but less shocking and memorible characters

[@chriswheatley3146]

Such an underrated system. So many fun games for it. When you asked about wii items that will be valuable down the road, the ones that come to mind are: 1.) The Wii Cyberbike. I am still trying to find one myself as it looks to be a great way to exercise while gaming. It is very rare and was not cheap, even when first released. 2.) The Bandai Active Life Pad. About a half a dozen games were made specifically for this pad. 3.) Though commonly known, the Wii Rockband set. I've only been able to find a couple of them complete localy, but resellers want to ask too much for them. They are much rarer than their XBox and Playstation counterparts. 4.) The Epic Mickey 2 paintbrush and Osward Clicker items. Only used for one game, and not even needed. The game is great though, so I'm sure it will be of value to collectors. 5.) EA strap on body sensors. Used in EA exercise games such as Sports Active and NFL Training camp. Kind of a niche market item. 6.) The uDraw Tablet. Used in the THQ line of drawing 'games'. 7.) The Ubisoft Motion Tracking camera. Biggest reason why I wouldn't put it higher is that only a couple non common excercise games use it.

[@MizfitZer0]

underrated?... lmfao XD

[@averyjenson]

+Adam Michael To be fair, it's one the greatest selling consoles of all time, but people don't give it enough credit. It has an awesome library of games.

[@MizfitZer0]

+Avery Jenson hmmm i tend to disagree... yea, mario galaxy is good and smash bros was ok (not as good as melee imo) but the whole system was way too gimmicky and it made finding actual games for the system a chore...

[@averyjenson]

Adam Michael You got a point, but I like the Wii because there are some really great games on there. Not all of them are great; most of them are pretty much crap, but there are some that really take advantage of the systems capabilities. Hey, opinions are opinions though, so I rather not argue over it.

[@Cracklotus]

Cool suggestions, some def made it to my list of games to get. I've been collecting for Wii recently and I don't even have a console yet but the prices are just so low I don't want to miss out.

[@nintyfan1991]

I think a lot of the Golden Wii accessories, like the Golden Classic Controller Pro (which came with Goldeneye 2010), and the Golden Wii Remote (which came with Skyward Sword) will be collectible.

[@ShaqFuGuru]

I just got the gunblade ny and la machine guns arcade compilation from GameStop for $4. Pretty cool collection of two 90s sega lightgun arcade games. I really wish we had more arcade games released on the wii like this, but I guess the audience wasn't there.

[@Ric4526]

Im subscribing bro

[@MetalJesusRocks]

ricardo lemus Im thanking you bro :)

[@AnELK.]

+MetalJesusRocks me too...... Bro

[@jeremy8227]

+MetalJesusRocks I also just just subscribed, I've watched many of your videos and have enjoyed viewing them all and in all honesty I thought I was already subscribed to your channel. No wonder your vids were not popping up on the main screen. lol

[@BarnesArcade]

The coolest Wii accessory is the Komodo Buck Shot shotgun. It's a bit heavy so you can't play too long, but it's too cool!

[@timmy75296]

The house of the dead overkill revolver attachment for the wiimote seems pretty rare even today! I've only ever encountered one of those on ebay.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I am working on Part 3 of my Wii Hidden Gems now.

[@Jaspertine]

I'd recommend checking out Opoona, Baroque, Ultimate Shooting Collection, Pinball Hall of Fame, and Mercury Meltdown Revolution, all great overlooked games.

[@NodakSavage]

I have the Legend of Zelda Gold wii remote. I scored it at a garage sale a few months ago for $5. Turns out it's on ebay right now for around $60+. That may be the rare wii piece as time goes on.

[@TridonsEve]

I'm guessing the balance board will grow rare as the years passes. Is huge for a peripheral, and except for the collectors, more and more people will rid themselves with it due to the space it takes up alone.

[@bhaktisunshine2516]

Dude your little dance at the end xD i love you!! Lol

[@dacolbster69]

Subscribed, I really like your videos man they're great! Keep up the awesome work :)

[@TheNintendoWizrad]

I feel like the skyward sword special edition golden wii remote, and especially the golden nunchuk will be rare in the future. (already are)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I do these Hidden Gems videos for everybody, not just the people who hardcore or long time Wii collectors. Plus none of these games were in the Top 50 best selling Wii games

[@ZiKoN22]

I think the special golden wii remote that came with the Deluxe edition of The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Of course XenoBlade Chronicles is going to have a ridiculous prize in the future, it already has a crazy price on Ebay! I'm so glad i got it when it came out!

[@majinpowers]

I still have to preach that Fishing Resort is one of the biggest hidden gems on the console and nothing at all what you would expect from just looking at the game. I was skeptical about a fishing game but had to try it because it was ported by Xseed and created by Yuji Naka, The Creator of Sonic. I am glad I did pick this hidden gem up because its such a fun game to play. You can pick this up for dirt cheap so don't let it slip by!

[@silosis]

i cant believe how good some of these wii games look

[@OutOfTouch_YT]

Some good hidden gems on Wii: Samba De Amigo, Nights: Journey Into Dreams, Sonic Colors(best revival of Sonic), House Of The Dead 2 & 3, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, The Conduit, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. These are all really good Wii games and since you said you love rail shooters I listed about 3 of them I know about.

[@GameHammerCG]

De Blob is such a fun game. I can't recommend it enough. You're probably right about that weird red Wii Mini thing. It's pretty rare here already.

[@azalin19751975]

I TOTALLY forgot that a new Sin and Punishment came out!! I still need to find the original for my N64!! Thanks for the info M.J.!! Always Helpful! Have a Great & Safe Memorial Weekend!!! -SWFLGamers

[@Jsgamer117]

I had a nunchuck wireless adapter, might be rare

[@NicoPlaysIndies]

Batman The Brave & The Bold: The Videogame and Centipede Infestation are both really fun Wii games that can be had for cheap.

[@AdamX21198]

Thanks for making these videos, it's hard to find decent games in a sea of shovelware.

[@TRobotMike]

Really like this series metal jesus! Will we have a part 3?

[@Glokas7]

Thanks for putting No More Heroes up there. Very underrated game. I bought it on release day when it originally came out and I didn't stop playing it for days. I have the PS3 version also. It has some bonus stuff and Trophy support, but it honestly doesn't touch the Wii Version. Great list though!!!

[@Submissive421]

I wonder if the Epic Mickey Nunchuk controller will be rare later. It didn't sell very well and its currently on clearance at my store.

[@krisbayley9422]

Sin and Punishment reminds me of a old school type of space harrier, moving around the screen avoiding obstacles rapid firing, I'm gona track down a copy.

[@FUNKOfilms]

I think the Resident Evil revolver and knife combo are great accessories for the Wii. Especially if you're into the light gun style on rail shooters. They are already a little hard to find. Also one thing to note, the A button trigger on the revolver doesn't work very well. Luckily Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles doesn't really require the A button. If you can find one it's a neat gun nunchuck combo for the Wii.

[@Dragondude2525]

I thought the same thing about the Wii Mini, being the final redesign just after the release of the Wii U, so I found it on sale and with an extra price match reduction at best buy I picked it up for 75$. Definitely expecting this to end up being worth at least double in the future.

[@scottcasey2710]

Thank you for your videos! If you make a Part 3, some games you may be interested in are Elebits, Dawn of Discovery, Dewey's Adventure, the Wii version of Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands, Domino Rally (it's not based on the children's toy), The Munchables, Little King's Story, Groovin' Blocks or Boom Blox Bash Party.

[@MezzoForte4]

Glad to know that No More Heroes was mentioned. Such a damn good game.

[@JoJoHebadubus]

The main thing that will be rare for the wii in the future is a full Project Rainfall set. That and the Skyward Sword controller (similar to the GC Mario controller which is really collectible now).

[@flongj]

One excellent Wii game that rarely seems to get its due is Wario Land: Shake It! It's a first party game yet I almost never see it mentioned in lists of top Wii games. It's really fun.

[@catiseith]

I think the Wii Board could become a collectors item. Besides the Wii Fit series and Punch Out, which games used it? (by the way, Wii Fit Plus have a couple of fun games)

[@loubilly]

Well keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more of your Wii videos

[@the72u7h4]

I was wanting to know some other games to add to my collection, and here comes MJR to the rescue with an old ass but useful video!

[@JasonJrake]

Hardware: there's a third party balance board that has a display for use as a normal scale, without having to boot up the console. Comes in black or white. Software: you already mentioned Lost In Shadow, so I'll add two WiiWare games to download before it shuts down. Fluidity and Fast Racing both have sequels on other Nintendo hardware, but the originals are my favorites. And while motion controls make both of these games harder to master, they make it easier for inexperienced players to take turns in a rotation trying to pass certain levels.

[@DrRoo91]

NO MORE HEROES!!!!! One of the best of all time! Start with the 1st and you will love it!
