Post your favorite Wii games. =| by Fullofkittens 10/03/2009, 10:01am PDT
We had a big garage sale, and we came out with enough money to buy a Wii, and Mrs. oK wanted one really bad so we got one. =|

Now I am tasked with finding the games that will actually make this thing worth having in the house. I have been pretty much totally ignorant of this system up until now. I played some of the Wii Play games at relatives' houses and they were fun enough to pass the time on New Year's Day but I wouldn't actually, you know, buy Wii Play.

What I have now:
-Wii Sports (came with the set)
-World of Goo (bought from WiiWare)
-Some old NES games bought over the Virtual Console

Here's the short list of things we'll definitely get (unless warned away):
-Super Mario Galaxy
-the wii Mario Kart
-some variant of Rock Band
-Super Smash Brothers Brawl

...and that's all the games I have heard are good on the Wii. =(

So, what are your recommendations? The sky's the limit on genre; stuff I can play on my own is great, stuff that's group fun is great. Bonus points for a Disgaea-like strategy RPG or Moo2-like 4Xs. Also, keep in mind that I had a video game blackout from like 1992 to 2000, so any DLC stuff that's awesome on the Wii would be welcome as well.

(Favorite games of the past several years if it helps):
-Disgaea
-God of War
-God Hand
-Fatal Frame
-DMC3
-Dwarf Fortress
