Recommend me a Wii game that starts with the letter...
« on: April 04, 2011, 11:59:16 PM »
Hi. I'm looking to own a Wii game in every letter of the alphabet, so I'd like to hear some opinions on the best games that start with the following letters.

I
Looks like Ivy the Kiwi? is the only worthwhile choice here.

J
I might have to settle for Jeopardy! on this one...

Q
As far as I can tell, the only Q game released is Quantum of Solace, although it's a James Bond game so it could be argued the title is 007: Quantum of Solace. In any case, is it worthwhile?

U
U is for Uh... I got nothing.

X
Now I'm really hoping XenoBlade gets released here... Is there even anything else?

Y
Because I want one.

Z
I hear Zack and Wiki is good. Anything else to consider?

This is a very interesting idea you have.

For I yeah I would say that Ivy the Kiwi would be your best pick.

For J I would either pick Ju-on:The Grudge or Just Dance 2.

For Q yeah it looks like Quantum of Solace is your only choice. I heard its multiplayer is decent other than that it isn't worthwhile.

You could try out UDraw Studios for U if you are interested in that sort of thing. Drawing and sharing.

Other than Xenoblade it looks like the only other choices are X-Men games. Don't know if that interests you or not.

For Y there isn't really a worthwhile retail game but Y's Book 1 & 2 is pretty good. It is on the VC.

For Z yeah Zack and Wiki is your best choice.

You should post your complete list so we can nit-pick at it. :D

Your complete list of A-Z titles.  That way we can say - "No, don't use de Blob for D.  Use Data East Arcade Classics." :D

Ooh, interesting question... and I know you didn't organize it, but... How do you count the "New Play Control" titles?  Under D/M/P or under N?

I reversed the cover art to show the original GameCube side so I have them under M and P on my shelf. I don't have Donkey Kong Jungle Beat but I'll likely do the same once I get it.

How about yourself? Or do you use a different organization system?

Alphabetical is the only way to go. :D
Yeah, I have them under D/M/P as well.

It annoys some of the folks on TCP when I show off my hand-held collection and the GB/GBC/GBA/VB/DS games are all mixed in together.  It's the only stuff that's mixed in, but I really like having all the games in the same series together...

Personally I like a little bit of curves, but that's not neither here nor there. Y is a slim pickings category.

I don't think so Chozo Ghost. She did say she wants to put the games on her shelf...

Anyone else want to chime in? So far, looks like the consensus is this:

Ivy The Kiwi?

JU-ON: The Grudge

Q - Nothing released

Ultimate Shooting Collection

X - Wait for XenoBlade

You Don't Know Jack!

Zack and Wiki

Quantum of Solace really seems to be your only option for a Q game. For X, you could get X-Men Origins: Wolverine

On the case of Quantum of Solace, the title is actually 007: Quantum of Solace, so the game would be placed with either numbers or with O, depending on my mood. Therefore there are no Q games.
