The Nintendo Wii is one of the most influential consoles of all time – love or hate the addition of motion controls, you can’t deny that this has impacted all video game consoles since. Even the Xbox Series consoles are somewhat defined by the lack of Kinect support, after all.
But on top of having a revolutionary control scheme, the Nintendo Wii had a huge library of games. Yes, a good portion of these were sub-par (or worse) minigame compilations aimed at your parents that don’t know any better, but there was also a big selection of certified bangers.
Narrowing this list down to just ten entries has been difficult, but these are the ten best original games for the Wii, ignoring ports and remakes. Yes, that means no Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition or Metroid Prime Trilogy.
