The console was a huge success in the 2000s, with new games still being released as recently as 2020. Its long lifespan and broad appeal meant it had a massive game library, surpassing even that of the PlayStation 2.
The Wii has so many games that many excellent titles have been overlooked. Games like A Boy and His Blob and Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon deserve more attention.
Dead Space: Extraction Is a Fantastic Wii Shooter
Dead Space: Extraction is a rail shooter game that tells the story leading up to the events of the original Dead Space. It takes place in the Aegis VII system, a long-isolated area kept secret for hundreds of years. When miners begin working there, they discover a strange object that causes disturbing visions and brings the dead back to life as zombies.
As a big fan, I’ve been playing Dead Space: Extraction and it’s seriously awesome! You play as security trying to wipe out these zombies that are taking over both the Aegis VII planet and the USG Ishimura. Honestly, it’s the best rail shooter on the Wii, and what’s really cool is you don’t even need to have played a Dead Space game before to jump in and enjoy it. It’s super easy to pick up and play!
Taking down zombies, or Necromorphs, by shooting off their limbs is incredibly satisfying, and the game provides a wide variety of weapons to do so. Despite being a mature-rated game, this level of detail feels appropriate.
Deadly Creatures Has Players Face Their Phobias
Deadly Creatures is an action game with a unique premise. Players get to control either a scorpion or a tarantula, and they’ll face off against a variety of opponents – mostly other dangerous creatures. The gameplay changes depending on which arachnid or arthropod you choose to play as.
The scorpion in the game is quick and aggressive, while the tarantula prefers a more sneaky approach. Deadly Creatures isn’t a good choice for anyone with a fear of spiders, or even those easily frightened by scorpions, rats, and bugs in general.
Compared to other action games on the Wii, Deadly Creatures hasn’t stuck with players as much, likely because of its focus on scary monsters. That’s unfortunate, because it’s genuinely fun to play as one of those dangerous creatures.
Fragile Dreams Is an Amazing Wii RPG
I’m really into this game called Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. It’s an action RPG, and the setting is incredible – basically, a post-apocalyptic version of Tokyo, Japan. The story hints that something went wrong with a science experiment caused the end of the world, but honestly, the details are still pretty mysterious, which I think adds to the atmosphere!
Although the Wii was known for games everyone could enjoy, Fragile Dreams was a surprisingly deep and thoughtful experience – unique not just on the Wii, but across all gaming platforms. Its challenging gameplay might have held it back, however, as it didn’t quite fit the Wii’s audience of more casual players.
Even today, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon remains a great game, and maybe even more enjoyable now than when it first came out. It’s simply fun to wander through the desolate world and encounter surprising foes.
Little King’s Story Is One of the Most Unique Wii Games
Despite being a Wii game, Little King’s Story is surprisingly complex – it requires more than just simple button presses. This complexity might be why it’s been overlooked, which is unfortunate because the game beautifully captures the feeling of being a child. However, unlike actual childhood, Little King’s Story lets you experience a truly powerful fantasy.
Fishing Resort Is More Than a Wii Sports Clone
Fishing Resort might seem like a simple copy of Wii Sports, but it’s actually a surprisingly fun and engaging fishing game. It’s easy to control – you use the Wii Remote to cast and reel in your line, and the Nunchuck to guide the bait and attract fish.
When Fishing Resort first came out, people often compared it to Wii Sports, which wasn’t helpful. Now, Fishing Resort is considered quite rare, which is impressive for a Wii game. If you can find a copy, it’s worth playing now and then, particularly if you’re looking for a more relaxing experience than Wii Sports offers.
A Boy and His Blob Reimagined a Classic
A Boy and His Blob is a puzzle-platformer game, and a fresh take on the classic 1989 NES title, A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia. The story starts with a blob-like alien crash-landing on Earth after its home planet, Blobolonia, is invaded. A boy discovers the alien, and they become friends. Together, they embark on a journey to save Blobolonia from the invaders.
Despite being a remake, A Boy and His Blob is a really great game that doesn’t get enough attention. It features clever puzzles and excellent 2D platforming. However, because it was based on a somewhat obscure NES game, it struggled to reach a wider audience, even though the original was good.
Captain Rainbow Is a Wii Game That Never Made It Out of Japan
Captain Rainbow is an exciting action game similar to the movie The Incredibles. It tells the story of Nick, a former superhero who wants to be famous again. He travels to Mimin Island, a magical place where dreams are possible, but quickly finds himself facing unexpected challenges.
Captain Rainbow didn’t gain much popularity outside of Japan. This is a shame because it’s a really memorable game. It uniquely blends traditional action-adventure elements with a collection of fun, party game-style minigames.
