2011 Nintendo Wii Top Picks
by Cooper McHatton
If friends tell me they don’t play their (insert gaming console here) very much, I can usually assess that they have some pretty lousy games. Because the difference between spending an astronomical amount of time in front of a game in complete gaming bliss, versus letting it get dusty in the case, is of course the quality of the game.
Now is the perfect time to spruce up your Wii gaming collection and continue to derive enjoyment from the console. I mean, heck, you paid a lot for that thing! Let’s put it to good use again, shall we?
Here are the best of the best for Wii 2011. The theme of these 5 games: Endlessly Entertaining.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (with Music CD)
Link returns in one of his greatest games, EVER! The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a crowning achievement by Nintendo as it has more hours of play than any previous Nintendo game – 50 to 100 hours! All with mind blowing Wii Motion Plus controls rapped in a super deep story that gamers and non-gamers alike will be immersed in for hours.
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land
Designed in New Super Mario Bros. Wii style, Kirby’s Return to Dreamland is an incredibly cute 1-4 player adventure with everyone’s favorite pink blob. Players take control of Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and/or Waddle Dee in an adorable platforming adventure.
Rayman Origins
Quickly becoming one of the highest rated games of the year, and certainly one of the funniest, Rayman Origins (yet another game set in New Super Mario Bros. Wii style) is a platformer like you’ve never seen. Take control of Rayman, Globox or one of two Teensies in this hilarious 1-4 player platformer. ** Order Rayman Origins from Amazon right now
Just Dance 3
Dance your heart out to over 45 songs in elaborate fashion with Just Dance 3. With a few different modes (including the newly upgraded Just Sweat mode), Just Dance 3 is a very fun game for parties, or when you just want a fun way to workout
LEGO Star Wars III The Clone Wars
In the most advanced of the Lego games, players take control of a number of Lego versions of heroes and villains in the Star Wars universe and battle there way through the first two seasons of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series. Players go through larger battles, and a more epic adventure than any in a Lego game before.
