Nintendo made a lot of great games for the Wii. Watch us fight over them.

Nintendo made this list a lot harder than the casual observer might think. In short, there a ton of Nintendo-developed games that were worthy of this list. It was so overwhelming, that we had to split it away from the third-party list so we could actually highlight third-party games!
Get ready to check out the best 10 first-party Wii games according to the staff of Nintendo World Report. Starting today and running twice a week until early October, we'll be highlighting games that we think our among the top 10 on the system.
Ouch. Wii Sports is number ten? I could think of ten games over that more worthy...
Yea, I'm with ejamer. Go list out your 10 Nintendo-published games on Wii. And keep in mind this was a staff-wide vote.
Even under that logic, the New Play Control games would qualify too because those are just as new. I just don't see how Trilogy should count when it is just a compilation of 1 Wii game and 2 New Play Control games, but other New Play Control games don't count. Don't get me wrong, I love Trilogy; there just seems to be no reason the other NPC games don't count when this does.
I've only played 3 and a 1/3 of those games on that list. Which is probably why I'm the only non-platinum person on NFR.
... Oh, and I didn't particularly enjoy Super Mario Galaxy, but its sequel offered many more interesting gameplay options and better level design, so it does deserve a spot on the list. I can't deny that it's a well made game, but I don't really like it.
Yet that is still better than other NPC games, which contain 0% content that was exclusively released on Wii.That isn't exactly true. NPC Donkey Kong Jungle Beat has remixed levels to make up for the easier control, NPC Pikmin has a new feature that allows you to restart a day or revert to a previous day, and Mario Power Tennis has new picture-in-picture close-up camera shots and other added displays. I still don't think any of the NPC games (including MPTrilogy) should be on a best-of-Wii list, but most of the NPC games do have more than a new control scheme that can make them more worthwhile for some people.
I just thought I'd point out a little mistake. You guys seem to have accidentally included Metroid Prime Trilogy at number 5 instead of number 1. No biggie. It's an easy mistake to make, but you might want to rectify that soon. You know, just in case people start thinking that you guys have poor judgement. :P:
For me Metroid Prime 3 is the black sheep of the trilogy. I'm probably in the minority but I liked the original control scheme. Metroid isn't an FPS so it doesn't need to control like one. Classic Metroid is essentially side-scrolling Space Zelda. Metroid Prime is essentially first person Ocarina of Space. The lock-on targetting makes sense for the adventure game Metroid is, just like how it made sense for Zelda when it went 3D.
Nintendo's pre-Wii games were only inaccessible for close minded boobs that were not willing to give them a fair shake. My parents didn't play Nintendo games prior to the Wii entirely because they were never ever willing to even try. I highly doubt they would have been incapable of getting anywhere if they put more than five minutes of effort into it.
God I hate the friend tokens. I hope whoever came up with that idea ended up flipping burgers for a living. I've cobbled together some from people I know and from a couple of forums over the past few years, but I'll never be able to get enough to unlock everything.
Thanks Retro!

I absolutely do not subscribe to this. My Dad played Tecmo Bowl on the NES and my Mom taught me how to play Zelda 1. Neither of them played the N64 or the GameCube. Mario Kart Wii was the first time in years that I was able to play a videogame with my father, and thanks to Brain Age my Mom stole my DS Phat.

Zelda 1 practically gives the player no indication of what to do and is a much less accessible game than the 3D Zeldas which have all sorts of tutorials and "HEY! LISTEN!" to help you figure things out. Did your mom even TRY OoT or just wrote it off because it looked hard like my parents always do?

Wario Land Shake It, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Fluidity are all overrated as hell. Did not like any of them.

Overated? No, definitely not. Not to your liking? Entirely possible.
I disagree with everything you stand for
I also disagree with the popular opinion in the other direction too. I loved Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn despite all the hate for it, and I even enjoyed Metroid: Other M! *gasp*
So Animal Crossing: City Folk is number one, right?
I honestly don't know what could top Skyward Sword.
EXCITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKS
I personally think Galaxy 2 is the superior game but the original has the edge in terms of innovation, so I can see why that would give it the top spot.
So Twilight Princess won't be on the top 10 list for best first party games on the Wii? You are shitting me.
The ret-con, backlash B.S. that this game has gotten is garbage. Folks really need to revisit this game if they truly think it doesn't count as top ten material.
Ah, lists and video game nerds. Raging is fun!
I also know that some of our staff feel Twilight Princess is a GameCube game, and do not rate it as highly as a Wii game (if they rate it as a Wii game at all).
