What a **** list!

For one thing, New Super Mario Bros isn't out yet but should be good.

Tony Hawks ride is also unreleased, and is pretty much guaranteed to be an absolute dog of a game...

Wii Fit is more of an exercise program than a game and has been proven to barely do anything.

Sports resort is supposed to be crap as well.

Don't mean to be ruining your post so harshly, but I would hate for someone to make a purchase based on this list only to be disappointed.

LOL, dude you haven't played any of these games so how can you comment? What...you read reviews online and watch trailers on youtube? Not trying to be negative but not sure how your comments are valid.

My son's favourite is still the 1999 release of Paper Mario on WiiWare or whatever the retro console games are called (I think WiiWare are new downloadable titles and there is another term for the older games).

should've probably been a Top 3 list.

Twilight Princess definitely at the top, after that there's... Hell I would'nt know. Only game I did buy for this was TP.

Garbage titles and lineup for player as myself. Just not my cup of tea. Thank god I was able to sell it off right before its' price drop. :D

I've played every game on the list apart from sports resort and obviously the ones that aren't released yet.

The list is in no way the top 10 best games for nintendo, I have no idea how they decided on these LOL

edit: and yes Twilight Princess and SMG are the best games on Wii. Not my opinion just the truth.

In no particular order...

Twilight Princess

Super Mario Galaxy

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Wii Sports Resort

Punch Out!!

Super Smash Bros Brawl

The Conduit

Mario Kart Wii

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games

Wii Fit

There are other notable additions like Wii Sports, Boy and his Blob, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Madworld, House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, etc. It's quite easy to do a top 15 or top 20.

What I wouldn't give to play this.... :D But I haven't found a machine over here so far... :(

It's a rip off. It's a quid per race, no matter how well you do. I absolutely smashed the computer with something like 20 seconds on top of the 2nd place CPU, and -still- got asked to put in another quid for another race.

I would only go with 1st party titles on the Wii. There is no point in playing games like GH5 or TH on a Wii and have the worse graphics. Wii fit only works if you are consistent and already in shape. It can be brutal on those who are out of shape trying to get in shape (like myself). Wii sports has always been kind of meh so I wouldnt even bother with that. Everything else seems good.

Some 3rd party titles like The Conduit are absolutely awesome on the Wii, don't feel too burned by 3rd parties on the Wii!

First party Wii titles are probably the only reason to buy the Wii in the first place. The lack of a solid third party lineup makes buying an xbox for the hardcore gaming an easy choice.

Lol @ the screenshot they used for Mario Kart Wii....that's actually the Mario Kart arcade game done in collaboration with Namco ;)

But I'm not surprised to see Nintendo is taking most of the top spots, even if they started making games for other consoles they would make some of the top games for them too. Nintendo as always been great at understanding what the majority of people want and not just the "hardcore" gamers.

I just got my Wii, for the Wii Fit Plus (which I think is a blast) and for Tiger Woods Golf 10, which is awesome. ...and for my kids to play on.

Other than that, I play Xbox 360 exclusively.

But, my point is that Tiger Woods 10 is excellent and with the motion plus controller add-on, VERY accurate.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.17 changelog: All Platforms Updated Tor to 0.4.9.11 Updated NoScript to 13.6.25.1984 Build System / All Platforms Bug tor-browser-build#41821: Update gpg subkeys for boklm Bug tor-browser-build#41827: Update morgan's keychain with renewed key Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
