Posted December 8, 2012 It is easily the worst Zelda for me? Really!? I'm shocked you never told us this before now. Ok let's scrap the whole top 50 and do it all over again for Wii's sake! Good list by the way, only 1 game I voted didn't get in Ah well, great list of games on that list love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Called the top 5, but I never expected Skyward Sword to get knocked off the top spot! Also I don't remember Galaxy 2 getting voted so much, so it comes as a surprise to see it beat out Xenoblade and SSBB! Monster Hunter Tri is lower than I expected, while DKCR is higher. Of course, all 10 deserve to be there. A fitting conclusion to a great list and a great console! Here's hoping that the Wii U can live up to its predecessor : peace: Edited December 8, 2012 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good list by the way, only 1 game I voted didn't get in Ah well, great list of games on that list love it! I didn't say it was a bad game, just it's the worst Zelda. The benchmark for this series is so high and it fell well short. I was glad when it was over, it was a chore and a bore. Take away the motion controls and it really isn't great. If only Twilight Princess had motionplus. Even without it, it's still leagues ahead. Now Wii Sports turn. In terms of importance, it's probably no.1 but in terms of graphics, music, depth of gameplay, level of polish? It was a tech demo, loved bowling, definitely the best and most accurate sport but again overall hardly deserving of a top 10 place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Voting's flawed, Xenoblade wasn't number 1. (brilliant feature by the way guys, thanks to everyone behind the scenes for putting it together!) Edited December 8, 2012 by Rummy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2012 Voting's flawed, Xenoblade wasn't number 1. Yeah, voting is flawed. Xenoblade is head and shoulders number 1, after that it's a debate. Trouble is more people have played Mario Galaxy 1&2 and other games than Xenoblade. It's a popularity contest more than what is the best game. I can't even remember how I voted after Xenoblade. But personally now it's: 1. Xenoblade 2. Twilight Princess 3. Monster Hunter 4. Okami 5. Mario Galaxy It changes all the time. It's a great list overall, just the order of some are severely flawed. That and Rhythm Heaven belongs in a bin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2012 I was joking, this IS essentially a popularity contest. I'm just as guilty, too, there's some games in the top 20 I never even played so couldn't vote for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welll personally I'm more than pleased because for me Skyward Sword is the best Zelda I've played since Ocarina of Time, and if that hadn't been my first Zelda I might even give it's place to Skyward Sword! :p Have to say of Wii Sports I only ever really played Bowling and Golf (with the occasional bit of Baseball), but these two, Golf especially, had me coming back for years!

Posted December 8, 2012 Little King's Story should've been Number one, duh! Anyway, despite the lateness, I'm glad the list is finally complete. And made me remember there are some seemingly fantastic games I haven't touched yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) So there we have it!! N-Europe's Top 50 Wii Games!! When the mighty Steven Spielberg mentioned that he was creating a unique game for the Wii, everybody was excited. When BOOM BLOX was finally announced (under the original name Block Party) people were initially disappointed, but many soon changed their mind then they played it: it turns out that BOOM BLOX was a unique, imaginative and fun puzzle game. The sequel, BOOM BLOX Bash Party added even more variety, new gameplay elements and an enhanced multiplayer, improving upon the original in every way. Brilliant innovation, gave some good multiplayer fun with a decent single player; easily accessible to all and strangely satisfying. One of the best takes on a puzzle game and a very, very clever and ''moreish'' experience, great fun. From the success of Rock Band - which took the Guitar Hero formula and expanded it to a lead guitar, bass guitar, drum and vocals - came a version which focused on legendary music band The Beatles. Bringing along an impressive array of Beatles songs, along with even more released as DLC, it provides fans of The Beatles with the perfect music game. @Mokong X\-C @mr\-paul who worked on putting the list together! To Myself and @Hero\-of\-Time for initiating the idea! And most importantly, thankyou to you the N-Europe members for voting!!

Posted December 8, 2012 That was a fantastic read throughout the entire process, very enjoyable, and that top 50 was EPIC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2012 Is there anyway to read #50 to #1 without having to search for the posts/news articles? Seconding the above; will it be put into a compiled main page article for future reference? Even on that note, does anyone have a link the to the Gamecube Top 50, if it still exists?

Posted December 8, 2012 That was a pretty awesome event, writing up about the games i enjoyed brought back a lot of good memories, will definetly be replaying them again on the WiiU going forward. All in all i think we got a fantastic list, if anyone asks me why i bought the original Wii i now have a link i can send them to ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2012 Oh wow! I just realised that neither of the Trauma Center games made the list! I can understand Trauma Team not getting into the list (despite my own vote), since it wasn't released over here, but neither of the TC games!? That's crazy! Just goes to show how good the Wii's lineup was when you've still got stone cold classics sitting outside of this list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) I wonder if anyone actually chose the Final Top 10 Games as their list? :p Just checked, all my choices made the the Top 23, starting at Goldeneye, then all Top 20, with 5 in Top 10! Good list by the way, only 1 game I voted didn't get in Ah well, great list of games on that list love it! What was that one game?

Posted December 9, 2012 House of the Dead - 28th SSBB - 5th Skyward Sword - 2nd Fire Emblem - 42nd Excitetruck - 14th Mario Galaxy - 1st De Blob 1&2 - Not on the final list (I knew I should've voted for the first one) Resi 4 - 17th Tatsunoko - 19th Little King's - 11th 7 made the Top 20, 3 made the Top 10, one that didn't make it at all.

Posted December 9, 2012 Wow I forgot all about DeBlob! Very surprised it didn't make the list! No Elebits or Another Code either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2012 What a list, I'll be happy if the Wii U manages to churn out as many classics! EDIT: But Skyward Sword is better than Galaxy 2!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Great list, definitely worth the wait - again, thanks for quoting a few of my blurbs. I'm sure if Xenoblade had been released sooner, not had limited print runs and had a bigger marketing push then it may have placed a little higher - i.e greater sales. Considering that it's quite niche compared to the Marios and Zeldas, it's done very well. Edited December 11, 2012 by SirToastaLot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2012 Very pleased Galaxy 1 beat Galaxy 2, The top 3 is exactly as I'd have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2012 Excellent Top 10 and I for one am happy Xenoblade and Monster Hunter ranked as high as they did. Hell, Xenoblade at 4th is higher than I hoped for. Obviously with this being a Nintendo console it would be a hard job for games to beat out a Mario and Zelda to the top. Anyone with issues over the ranking needs to remember this was voted for by many different people with different tastes and not all will have played every game on the list. While Xenoblade is my #1 Wii game I can fully understand that it is not everyones fav game and even that not everyone will rank it in their top 10 because of different tastes. Just because you think a game is the best game on a system doesn't mean others will too. I even know of a few people here who loved Xenoblade yet didn't list it in their top 10 (I know who you are ) at all yet they still put together a very good list of games that in their opinion made up their top ten. And as for the Metriod Trilogy situation again, yeah it comes down to if you played/owned it or not. On Paper yeah it seems Trilogy should out rank MP3 easily, but not everyone who played MP3 will have gotten the Trilogy set, your not going to vote for a game you haven't played afterall. This was a list created by a compliation of many different peoples top 10, you can't expect it would also match up exactly with your own. As for how my Top 10 ranked, 9 out of my 10 ranked, the only one that didn't was Fatal Frame 4 which I expected as I think I'm the only one here whose even played it but it was a game I adored on my Wii and is one of my fav games on it, I wasn't gonna leave it off my list just cause I knew nobody else would vote for it. My list, my opinion Anyway, big thanks to all who voted and those who also gave comments on their votes, those comments of course were very helpful in creating the articles. And a major thanks to @Cube for taking on the majority of the work on this, I know it was tough going at some points with being busy in real life and such but making the target of finishing up on the European Birthday of the Wii is a job well done. Big thanks too to all others that helped out Cube in completing various parts of the articles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
