I just wanted to know which games everyone thinks others should get? I have three die-with-outs, and a few pretty good ones.

Get:

Zelda: Twilight Princes - Everyone should have it by now...if not...get it.

Super Mario Galaxy - Lives far beyond expectations.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Possibly one of the few greatest games I've ever played. It gives the Wii remote more power than any game ever released and ultimately is challenging, innovative, free-roaming, a giant maze, and full of secrets. The best part...unlimited ammunition.

Consider:

Manhunt 2 - Although not Nintendo-based, you can use the Wii remote to kill people...personally. Find new ways to kill them...get new weapons. Variety to kill people equals a great deal of fun...if you have vengeance that needs doing.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn - If you've played a Fire Emblem before then you know what to expect and of course it follows the same system with some sweet new features. If you haven't I'd suggest renting it before considering buying it.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves - Simply a large compilation of mini-games. There are a few you will love but there are ridiculously long cut-scenes. All together you have to be a mini-game person. Don't expect a plot...that is sensible.

...

These are the rest of the games I have if anyone has questions on them...

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Resident Evil 4
Medal of Honor: Vanguard
Transformers
Super Paper Mario
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
Redsteel

If anyone has Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, give your opinion on it por favor.

Well, obviously the 3 at the top go without saying. I will organize my reccomendations into categories.

Fighting- If you enjoy fighters, I would reccomend Budokai Tenkaichi 2. The movement an looseness of the control is amazing and I think, clearly the best fighter on the Wii.

Shooter- Though I have only played a small amount of the game, I have watched BW play for hours on Medal of Honor Heroes 2. This is a very challenging game, and though it has a short <10 hour run through, the online mode is amazing. As far as shooters go on the Wii, I'd say this got it right.
-For alternative shooters, go with RE4. Best game I've ever played, and the control is perfect on the Wii.
---You may want to think twice about Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. It sounds ground-breaking and such, but unless you are a die hard RE fan, I dont think you will enjoy this game. It is rather short and, although it fills in holes in the story, isnt really worth playing if you've played the others.

Adventure- Twilight Princess. For reasons everyone knows.

Alternative Games- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, while lacking some of the features and content included on the 360 version, it is still a terrific game.

Sports- This is more of a WARNING than a suggestion. Whatever you do, dont buy a Tiger Woods game for the Wii. I loved them on the Cube, but the Wii has killed the series. They are much too difficult and are simply not fun.

On the topic of Barrel Blast, IGN says its horrible. Like, really bad. 4/10 they gave it.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2...definitely a game I'll consider.

Has anyone played No More Heroes?

DO IT. Great game.

Anyway, I kinda have to disagree with your choices of Galaxy. I may be the only one, but I hate the game. I just dont think its any fun. It kinda pisses me off when it gets game of the year awards cuz i hate it so much.

Yeah, get Medal of Honor, if you like fighters, you might like Budokai or Mortal Kombat Armageddon. For racers, Need for Speed Carbon cant be beat. For adventurers, RE4 is a great adventure/ shooter hybrid.

Galaxy... it's an interesting experiment and shows off the Wii hardware pretty nicely, but it just doesn't do it for me.
I found myself getting into a rhythm where I was only half paying attention to the game because it was so easy. I just expected way more from this huge-budget title.
