Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U by Rafiki 10/27/2016, 3:10pm PDT
Gamecube
1) Resident Evil 4
2) The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
3) Metroid Prime
4) Beyond Good and Evil
5) Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
6) Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
7) Wario Ware Inc
8) Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
9) Viewtiful Joe
10) Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
11) Killer7
12) Super Monkey Ball 2
13) Pikmin
14) Wave Race: Blue Storm
15) Super Mario Sunshine
16) Pikmin 2
17) Luigi's Mansion
18) Eternal Darkness
19) 1080 Avalanche
20) Tales of Symphonia
21) F-Zero GX
22) Animal Crossing


- I think I need to go back replay Eternal Darkness. I don't get what was so great about it. Insanity effects were neat, but I thought the game was average.


Nintendo Wii
1) Super Mario Galaxy
2) Mario Kart Wii
3) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
4) Super Mario Galaxy 2
5) Rock Band 3 (w/ pro guitar)
6) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
7) Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock *Rock Band renders this obsolete, but it's still a good single player game on its own.
8) House of the Dead: Overkill
9) Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (multiplayer)
10) Boom Blox (w/ multiplayer)
11) Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
12) Super Paper Mario
13) New Super Mario Bros Wii *didn't play multiplayer
14) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
15) Trauma Center: New Blood
16) Super Smash Bros Brawl *I didn't have anyone to play multiplayer with on this, so this is for single-player. Plus my bias against most fighting games
17) Wii Sports
18) Guitar Hero 5 *it's not that it's bad, it's just irrelevant
19) No More Heroes
20) Mad World
21) HeatSeeker
22) Silent Hill: Shattered Memories


Punch-Out - I decided not to rank this because it's basically just a remake of the NES Punch-Out (see: not ranking duplicates). Much like the NES version, it's still a great game. They did add one new fighter, Disco-Kid, but it doesn't really transform the game. There's a hardmode that I didn't play through. Glass Joe was harder and wore headgear that absorbed head shots, but I don't know how much hard mode really changed things up. Also: don't use motion gestures to play this.

Resident Evil 4 - didn't rank this for the same reason, even though this is the superior version and the wiimote works great. This would be #1 otherwise.


Nintendo Wii U
1) Super Mario 3D World
2) Mario Kart 8
3) Super Mario Maker *must be interested in building custom levels
4) Rayman Legends
5) Bayonetta 2
6) Pikmin 3
7) The Wonderful 101
8) New Super Mario Bros U
9) ZombiU
10) Xenoblade Chronicles X *this sucks, btw
11) Nintendo Land
