So, I recently got my brother to loan me his Wii and a bunch of games indefinitely, ad now I'm curious about some good games for it.

Any recommendations out there?

Super Mario Galaxy. Probably the best game ever made for the Wii. SMG2 is also pretty awesome.

Super Smash Bros is all you will need.

Zelda: Skyward Sword
Super Mario Galaxy
Mario Kart
Xenoblade Chronicles (a great RPG)

All three of the Metroid Prime games are fantastic. The first two were on Gamecube, but re-released on Wii as well.

Metroid Prime Triology (A must buy)

Super Mario Galaxy (1 & 2)

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess

Rayman Origins

Xenoblade Chronicles

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Lost in Shadow

Kirby Return to Dream Land

Monster Hunter Tri

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

Wii Sports Resort

The Last Story

Mario Kart Wii

Super Paper Mario

New Super Mario Brothers Wii

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Okami

Zack and Wiki

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

Just a few suggestions

Well, I suppose this is the place to ask if Battalion wars is any good.

Battalion Wars 2? (i think thats the Wii one). I've only played a bit of it at a mate's house, but I enjoyed it. If you enjoy the Advance Wars style of strategy and combat you'll probably have a lot of fun with it.

Rune Factory: Frontier

Cursed Mountain

Project Zero 2 Wii Edition

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles

Dead Space: Extraction

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

There's a selection

I was thinking about getting the first one so I can use the gamecube controller. I don't think the 2nd one is compatible with the gamecube controller.

No More Heroes 1 & 2 are pretty solid fun

Xenoblade Chronicles (a MUST have)

Metroid Prime Trilogy

No More Heroes 1 & 2 (though I believe 2, maybe both, are on PS3 now)

Mad World

House of the Dead Overkill

Animal Crossing City Folk

Monster Hunter Tri

Harvest Moon Animal Parade

The Last Story

TLoZ: Skyward Sword

Mario Galaxy 1&2

Pikmin 2

Red Steel 2

Good luck on that Xenoblade Chronicles... it usually goes $60 used

Due to an error at my local Gamestop, I bought it on release AND on sale. $60 marked down to $43 or something like that.

Even still, $60 for it is well worth it IMHO. Especially if you have an optical drive that is capable of reading Wii discs so you can rip your game and run it using the Dolphin emulator. Xenoblade looks AMAZING @ 1080p with 4x AA and all those goodies. Still looks good (at least aesthetically) on the Wii, but damn, Dolphin really allows you to see the artists true vision of the game.

Anyways, yeah, the game is [censored] awesome.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Okami (better than the PS2 version IMO)

Super Smash Bros

Thanks for the suggestions! I've got Monster Hunter Tri(playing it right now as a matter of fact)

I definitely want to try Xenoblade, because it looks great, and Zelda, just to see what the fuss is all about.
