Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Awesome buyer's guide once again! I think the only thing you really missed hardware wise was the Nyko Perfect Shot accessory, which is leaps and bounds ahead of Nintendo's zapper grip offering and pretty much the undisputed best light gun conversion grip available for the Wii remote. Other than that, top notch video! I suppose the Mad Catz Tatsunoko vs Capcom Wii Arcade FightStick could have been in there as well, since the Wii recognizes it as a Classic Controller and it's great for both fighting games and retro offerings from the Virtual Console and Homebrew Channel, but that probably wouldn't be a "must have" item for many Wii owners. As far as recommended Day 1 pickups go, aside from Ōkami (and the Homebrew Channel to emulate just about every 8 and 16-bit system known to both man and woman) I think you already covered all the ones I would have recommended in your Hidden Gems videos. Great stuff as always! Edited April 22, 2016 by Jin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nice! A few more must buys for me are No More Heroes, Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Zak and Wiki. Although Zak and Wiki got a bit too difficult for me towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwill64 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 My buying guide: 1 TB external hardrive $80 It's a short guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshworrier Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) From memory (and not in the hidden gems vids): Ultimate shooting collection (including Karous) Rayman Raving Rabbids (trilogy) Monster Hunter Tri Archer Mcleans Mercury Revolution Heinz Wolffs Gravity Vertigo Bomberman Land Epic Mickey Smash Brothers Brawl (which also had the advantage of being a method of installing the HBC) FYI Believe it's about 3TB of drive space these days unless you add the GC stuff too.

Amstari Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Trauma Centre games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Soul Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I would say you have to add Madworld, Okami, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Metroid Other M (haven't finished this game yet, but so far it's really good!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 I released a new Wii Hidden Gems video today, so I figured I'd update this thread. Eight more games you might wanna check out on Wii (or the Wii U since it support them in HD!) Games shown: Pandora's Tower Generator Rex: Agent of Providence Kamen Rider Dragon Knight Gormiti: The Lords of Nature! Shiren the Wanderer Roogoo: Twisted Towers Calling Heavy Fire: Afghanistan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicle is the best light gun (style) game ever. Dead Space: Extraction is a great gun game as well. Metroid Prime: Corruption was my favorite game of the generation, and by far my favorite 3d Metroid game. Order Up was surprisingly fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wii is home to a ton of great on-rail / light gun style shooters!! So much fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemoretime Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Its hard to believe how long the Wii has been out. I still use mine most every night for Netflix and Amazon Prime. It seems that I had a controller with a keypad at one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Awesome new video! Being a pretty avid Wii collector I was already familiar with most of the games showcased today, but Roogoo: Twisted Towers was totally new to me and looks like a blast to play! I'll definitely have to pick up a copy of that one. Still not sure about Calling though, the critics all universally slammed that one so I've been hesitant to track down a copy. I know Reggie loves it though and that's probably a good indicator that a horror game is worth playing, so who knows, I'll grab a copy if I stumble on one for $5 or so.
