Title: NWR Forums First-Party/Third-Party Top 10 Lists
Post by: NWR_Neal on October 03, 2012, 07:38:24 PM
With the NWR Staff Third-Party Top 10 in the books (and the first-party one almost done), I figured let's do something kind of fun. Let's do the same thing but for the forums. We know you disagree with us, so here's your chance to let your voice be heard. When this is all said and done (as long as we get a decent amount of contributions), we'll post the list on the website in some fashion.
So, throw your top 10 first-party and third-party Wii games down below. Make sure they're ordered, otherwise they won't be counted.
First-Party means....anything published, developed, or created by Nintendo. The Last Story is a Nintendo game, even though it was published by Xseed in North America. Ask for clarification if you're unsure. Also, as per how we handled it in the site top 10, Metroid Prime 3/Trilogy count as one game. Every other game is separate.
Third-Party means...anything not published, developed, or created by Nintendo. Ask for any clarification if you're unsure.
To get your list heard, post them below. We won't accept anything later than Sunday October 14 at midnight ET.

Sure. Staffers who are part of the forums can totally put their two cents in. :)

I didn't play many third party games on Wii, so it would not be fair to make a list based on the Xbox 360 versions. So my first party:
1)Super Smash Bros. Brawl 2)Metroid Prime: Trilogy 3)The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 4)Super Mario Galaxy 5)New Play Control! Pikmin 6)Mario Kart Wii 7)Super Mario Galaxy 2 8)Wii Sports Resort 9)Animal Crossing: City Folk 10)New Super Mario Bros. Wii

In that case, I went digging through my emails and found the lists I used for the staff feature.
First Party 1. Galaxy 2 2. Galaxy 3. DKCR 4. Metroid Prime Trilogy 5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl 6. Wario Land: Shake It 7. NSMBWii 8. Excitebots 9. Wii Sports 10. Wii Sports Resort
Third Party 1. Boom Blox 2. RE4 3. Tiger Woods 4. Skylanders

Interested to see how this turns out. I bet some people will be upset about the group results here too. ;)
My picks below. Trying to narrow down and order the third party list was especially difficult - notably more difficult for me than the first party list. There were over 20 third party games that I had in mind, and dropping to 10 took some effort and compromise.
First Party 10. Wii Sports 9. Punch-Out!! 8. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn 7. Mario Kart Wii 6. Wario Land Shake It! 5. Project Zero 2 (Damn NoA) 4. Super Mario Galaxy 3. Endless Ocean Blue World 2. Metroid Prime Trilogy 1. Xenoblades Chronicles
Third Party 10. Bit.Trip Complete 9. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 8. Shiren the Wanderer 7. Boom Blox Bash Party 6. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure 5. Little King's Story 4. Silent Hill Shattered Memories 3. Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2. Trauma Team 1. Monster Hunter Tri

I would find this disappointing coming from a staff member of any game-related site, but doubly so at a site focused on Nintendo consoles and games.
Did you not play any other third party games on Wii? Or did you dislike everything else released by third parties? With such a wide variety of games released on Wii, and so many niche genres covered, it's curious to see that your list is only 4 games long.
(Not just talking. Genuinely curious.)

First Party
Xenoblade Chronicles
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
The Last Story
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid: Other M
Punch-Out!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Battalion Wars 2
Third Party
Monster Hunter Tri
Okami
Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Tiger Woods PGA Tour '10
No More Heroes
GoldenEye 007
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom MLB Power Pros
There ye be. Have at it. :)
EDIT: You know what? No, I enjoyed Power Pros more than Tatsunoko. It makes the list! :D

Post by: ejamer on October 03, 2012, 10:22:30 PM
Surely you mean Accent Core Plus? Maybe you haven't had the pleasure to try the difference? (Take that - now your list has been picked apart!)
If I didn't suck so much at fighting games, GGXX:AC+ might've made my list. But TvsC is much more accessible, and I couldn't justify putting both on. I also love Samurai Shodown Anthology more than it deserves, although retro collections are a tough sell for "best of" lists. Tough choices indeed.

You wound me sir. Or at least you would, if not for the fact that Power Pros is pretty awesome.
Title: Re: NWR Forums First-Party/Third-Party Top 10 Lists
Post by: Sarail on October 03, 2012, 10:28:31 PM
Nope. Accent Core is the one that sits on my shelf, and it's the one that makes my list. ;) Maybe I should seek out this modified version someday? We'll see.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Tatsunoko a lot. A LOT. Like Mr. Shugart, I'm a fight game fan. Not tourney worthy, but I can hold my own really well.
But yeah, Power Pros is fantastic. I wish Konami had the gonads to bring the Jikkyu Powerful Pro series stateside every year. No clue why they stopped after the second year. :/
Title: Re: NWR Forums First-Party/Third-Party Top 10 Lists
Post by: TrueNerd on October 03, 2012, 11:29:03 PM
1. Super Mario Galaxy 2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 3. Skyward Sword 4. Metroid Prime 3 5. Donkey Kong Country Returns 6. Twilight Princess 7. Super Smash Bros Brawl 8. New Super Mario Bros Wii 9. Super Paper Mario 10. Kirby's Epic Yarn
A pretty boring predictable list. I haven't played Xenoblade, something I hope to fix soon. But, I think the Wii has the best library of platformers of any console ever. I also haven't even played Wario Land Shake It either. Maybe the Wii library wasn't the most diverse (okay it wasn't) but considering that platformers are forever my true love in gaming, I was okay with that. Also I think Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the better Galaxy, but the original Galaxy was first and benefitted from all that comes with that.
On the other side, I bought Other M two years ago and still haven't beaten it because I feel no desire to fight with it anymore. That's the biggest disappointment of this generation.

Surprising... I can only come up with EIGHT first party games I feel comfortable voting on for a "Top 10 for Wii List" ... mostly because I have a bunch of titles in my backlog that I can't vote for (XenoBlade, Galaxy 2, Pokepark) and some very big games that I just missed out on (DKCR, Punch-Out)...
First Party
1.Wii Music 2.Skyward Sword 3.Mario Kart Wii 4.Wii Fit 5.Mario Galaxy 6.Wii Sports 7.NSMB Wii 8.The Last Story
Ah... but when it comes to third party... what a wealth of choices! Games I truly had pure, innocent, unadulterated fun in! And nothing you say can make it otherwise!
Third Party
1.No More Heroes 2.Red Steel 2 3.We Cheer 4.Godfather: Black Hand Edition 5.House of the Dead: Overkill 6.Muramasa: Demon Blade 7.No More Heroes 2 8.Alien Syndrome 9.Monster Hunter Tri 10.Star Trek: Conquest
Games that just missed the cut on the third party list are...Goldeneye 007, Mini-Ninjas, Dawn of Discovery, Trauma Team, We Cheer 2...
There are many truly wonderful, uplifting, niche choices in the third party library just waiting to be played and appreciated for being well, games you're supposed to have FUN at!
Title: Re: NWR Forums First-Party/Third-Party Top 10 Lists
Post by: Luigi Dude on October 04, 2012, 12:52:33 AM
Well Nintendo's own games are easy for me.
1. Super Smash Bros Brawl 2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 3. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 4. Xenoblade 5. Wario Land Shake 6. Super Mario Galaxy 7. Metroid Prime 3 8. Sin and Punishment 2 9. New Super Mario Bros Wii 10. Donkey Kong Country Returns
I can't really do a third party list since I still have a good sized backlog of third party Wii games I haven't played yet, unlike Nintendo were I've played most of their Wii games I've wanted to except for Fire Emblem and The Last Story, but I don't see either of these games getting into my Nintendo top 10.

... Maybe the Wii library wasn't the most diverse (okay it wasn't) but ...
Objection! Wii had a wonderfully diverse library once you include third party releases - it just balanced that diversity with gaping holes in a few other genres.
... 1.Wii Music ... Games that just missed the cut on the third party list are... Dawn of Discovery, ... ...
Wii Music: You're crazy! ;)
Dawn of Discovery: At one point this game was on my list. Free play mode could make hours disappear in the blink of an eye with the "one more action" type of addictiveness so commonly seen with Civ-like games. Sadly, there are just too many good third party games to get everything I love on the list and Bit.Trip Complete nudged it out for the final spot. Easily one of Wii's best kept secrets.

Post by: Anth0ny on October 04, 2012, 01:17:58 AM
My top 10 first party, not including New Play Controls:
1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 2. Super Mario Galaxy 3. Super Smash Bros Brawl 4. Xenoblade 5. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 6. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 7. Donkey Kong Country Returns 8. Super Paper Mario 9. New Super Mario Bros Wii 10. Metroid Prime 3
Runner Ups: Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports Resort, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Kirby''s Epic Yarn.
Third party is damn near impossible:
1. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom 2. No More Heroes 3. Muramasa
That's all I've got =/

I'd assume it's a third-party game. The game/IP is fully owned and developed by Capcom, and I believe Nintendo only handled published in the one region. (Backing my assumption is the fact that Monster Hunter appeared in the staff top ten third party list.)

1st Party 1. Donkey Kong Country Returns 2. Super Mario Galaxy 3. Metroid Prime 3 4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii 5. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 6. Super Mario Galaxy 2 7. Mario Kart Wii 8. Metroid: Other M 9. Wii Play (if only for "Tanks!") 10. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
I'm surprised by how many Wii games I own but haven't completed which unfortunately affects their standing. For example, I'm like 15 stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'm about an hour into The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles. They would probably be on there for sure. Super Smash Bros. Brawl almost didn't make it. I don't know; I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would even though it's the one I wanted most on that list by far.
3rd Party 1. No More Heroes 2. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition 3. Okami 4. Muramasa: The Demon Blade 5. Madworld 6. Lost in Shadow 7. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle 8. A Boy and His Blob 9. House of the Dead: Overkill 10. Resident Evil: The Darksiders Chronicles
I didn't finish many of these games either.

I struggled with this too.
The Bit.Trip series was certainly a defining moment for WiiWare, but the retail collection provides an expanded and improved release at a solid price. In the end I decided that listing the definitive version was the way to go, regardless of which platform that release came out on. (It helped that I didn't own all of the WiiWare versions already.)

FYI I'm keeping tabs on this. I advise not having a running tally, because then people who add their lists and can have the easy ability to shift their lists to make games go up or down.

Third Party:
10 ) Goldeneye 9 ) Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers 8 ) Tatsunoko vs. Capcom 7 ) A Boy and his Blob 6 ) No More Heroes 5 ) Muramasa 4 ) Sonic Colors 3 ) Little King's Story 2 ) Silent Hill: Shattered Memories 1 ) Monster Hunter Tri
First Party:
10 ) Kirby's Epic Yarn 9 ) Super Mario Galaxy 2 8 ) Donkey Kong Country Returns 7 ) New Super Mario Bros. Wii 6 ) The Last Story 5 ) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 4 ) Super Smash Bros. Brawl 3 ) Mario Kart Wii 2 ) Xenoblade Chronicles 1 ) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Honestly, the number 1 and 2 spots flip-flop a lot, because there's things I love about both games, but Xenoblade is slowly but surely winning me over. Best story, gameplay, design, and music of this gen.

It's mainly my huge backlog. I own a ton of third party Wii games, but I haven't put that much time into a lot of them. First party games usually float to the top of the backlog, so I've played more of them, even though I probably own more third party games than first party ones for the system. I haven't even found time to start Skyward Sword yet, so you can see why some of these more obscure titles haven't gotten as much time as I'd like.

Oh whoops, I forgot to come back and post my third-party list! I do hope that it isn't too late! As with my other list, these would probably be a bit different if you asked me tomorrow, but here's what I'm thinking today:
1. Rune Factory Frontier 2. Little King's Story 3. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time 4. Marble Saga Kororinpa 5. Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon 6. ThrillVille: Off the Rails 7. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny 8. Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors 9. Bomberman Land 10. de Blob
Wow, this was tough... I really haven't played much of the third-party games that I have. This would be totally different if I had!

Interesting stuff. You're right though, the lists aren't all that different. The most noteworthy differences are probably the inclusion of Punch Out on the forum list (a choice I very much approve of) and the fact that Overkill is actually missing from the forum list (which I'm actually very surprised at).
Strangely, my first party list would be closer to the staff's and my third party list would be closer to the forum's.

I know this doesn't get counted, but I missed this thread the first time around and wanted to put mine out there. Much of the Wii generation was a period of my life when I wasn't gaming much (I didn't even get a Wii until the end of 2008) so I struggled to come up with 3rd party games I both played and liked so I had to just do a top 5 for that category. Obviously, as a Nintendo fan since basically birth I played almost every first party game put on the system.
First Party
10. Fluidity 9. Mario Kart Wii 8. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor 7. Wario Land: Shake It! 6. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 5. Donkey Kong Country Returns 4. Super Mario Galaxy 3. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 2. Metroid Prime Trilogy 1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Third Party
5. Mega Man 9 4. Okami 3. Bit.Trip Runner 2. A Boy and His Blob 1. Rayman Origins

HotD was like 13/14 in the forums list. Wii Sports Resort wasn't anywhere noticeable, and Punch-Out was like 12 on the staff Top 10.

I think I'm the biggest outlier of the bunch, none of my third-party games are on either list, and only 4 of my first-party games are on them. Is anyone else this widely different?
