The Top 25 Wii GamesWe count down the best of the best for Nintendo's system.showUSloc=(checkLocale('uk')||checkLocale('au'));document.writeln(showUSloc ? 'US, ' : ''); November 8, 2010by IGN Staff

The Nintendo Wii has been on market for nearly five years, and over that time several hundred games have been released for the console. This list celebrates the cream of the crop, the absolute best that Nintendo and its third parties have developed on the Wii -- and games that you need to have in your collection.

It's important to note that even as we compiled our list, even more high quality games were waiting just around the corner. We marked our cut-off at September 30, 2010, so games like Kirby's Epic Yarn, GoldenEye 007, Epic Mickey, and Donkey Kong Country Returns – games that have all the potential to make the list – will have to wait for our update in 2011 for consideration.What game will be #1?

The Selection Comittee

It's hard to be a gamer as old as I am and not be a super fan of Nintendo. Nintendo has been with me since the mid 80s and it's been a dream come true covering the company's systems for IGN over the last decade. Nintendo made huge waves when it produced the Wii and its motion-sensitive controller with some fantastic games that really take advantage of those new elements, like Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Wario Land Shake It. But in the system's nearly five years on the market the company has been tickling my nostalgia bone with incredible classic NES and Super NES remakes as well as rereleases on the Virtual Console, and those are right up my alley.

I handle all things mobile for IGN, specializing on the iPhone and iPad. But that doesn't mean I don't play games on other consoles. I do, and I have ever since the Atari 2600. However, Nintendo has been a major part of my personal gaming experience over the years, starting with the first time I played Donkey Kong in an arcade. In fact, my first gig in this industry was writing for Nintendo Power. And though I may not have played every Wii game (it's hard to considering all the shovelware), I always make time to check out the highlights.

I'm IGN's Senior Editor, managing the day-to-day duties of our pool of Editors (it's easy, I just make sure they have plenty of bananas). But once upon a time I was a member of the IGN Nintendo Team and have spent the past couple years following the WiiWare service. The Wii and I haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but there is no doubt there are fantastic games available for Nintendo's motion-controlled console. I consider all 25 of these picks to be must-plays for any gamer.

I'm one of those few gamers who will play just about anything. While I enjoy the heck out of first person shooters, I'm also not afraid to try games that less savvy gamers relegate to the realm of "casual," or "for kids." While I don't play the Wii as often as I should, I'll be the first to tell you that some of my best experiences this generation came from Nintendo's little motion controlled console.

I'm IGN's newest Associate Editor, but I've been a freelancer for years and have reviewed Wii games for the site since the system's launch. I've seen more than my fair share of games so bad that their existence should be a crime. But I've also seen some amazing titles, games that could only have been on the Wii. Nintendo has been, and always will be the epitome of that pure video game experience, and there have been plenty of those experiences during the Wii's four years. It's a tough system to love, but you'd be a fool to have passed it over.
