Here are some of the top 5 Wii games in 2009. They are not arranged in order of preference or popularity though.
Wii Sports Resort
In the Wii Sports Resort, the sequel to the popular Wii Sports, you'll discover a wide range of new sports and activities you can play anytime which makes this a must-have collection in any homes. It has received in general favourable reviews so far. Wii Sports Resort is set in a beach resort on an island called Wuhu Island, which is also found on the Wii Fit. You will need the new MotionPlus accessory because none of the games found in the Wii Sports Resort can be played without it. Thankfully the One MotionPlus comes with the game. A mentionable game found inside this collection is the archery. The Wii Remote acts as your bow, and you 'draw' the bow's string by pulling the nunchuck backwards. To sum it up, the Wii Sports Resort is a good showcase of the motion-detection technology in Wii.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Super Smash Bros. Brawl includes a collection of game modes, features and impressive characters, which makes it more fun than before. This is a multi-player series of fast-moving 2D fighting games that features a cast of characters from the past Nintendo games. There are a total of 35 characters, which include Meta Knight from Kirby, Fox McCloud from Star Fox, Ike from Fire Emblem, Pikachu from Pokemon and Mario. What makes the Smash Bros so popular is the simplicity of the controls, which includes the "smash" attacks. The aim of the game is to knock your opponent out of the arena. Each of the characters have their own strengths and weaknesses. During the game, items will 'appear' to aid you in the battle. For instance, the beam sword helps you in your attacks and the hammer can inflict serious wounds to your opponent. You can also summon other characters when you collect 'assist trophies', who will either help or hinder you.
Mario Kart Wii
I like this game when I played it at an arcade some time back. This is a multi-player game that allows you to play it online with your friends. The main objective of this game is to race against 11 other competitors, in a 'Grand Prix' style. There are a total of 32 different routes, of which half of them are classics from the previous games, and the rest all brand-new. You can do lots of tricks with a few flicks of the Wii Remote, which helps you to increase your speed in the game. During the race, items will appear to help you. For instance, the thunder cloud will shrink you, unless you ram your kart into someone else and pass it to him.
The mega mushroom makes you grow super huge so that you can flatten the other racers. All in all, the Mario Kart Wii provides a whole new playing experience with its simple controls, online integration, and new stunts that were never found before in the Super Mario Kart which originated in 1992.
Wii Guitar Hero: World Tour
This game allows up to 8 players where you can play together and even compete online. The previous Guitar Hero allows you to play the traditional guitar only. With this latest installment, you can now play drums and even sing. You can choose to play only one instrument, or perform a band together with your buddies. If you are game for some challenge, you can also choose to compete online. What makes this game so overwhelming popular is the ability to play together as a band, like some rock-star band, while your friend sing to the tune. Another great feature of the Guitar Hero : World Tour is that it allows you to use your own tracks to play the game. If you are good enough, you can also create your own songs by following the tutorials. It's a fun game for all ages. Who knows, you might be the next rockstar!
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
This game is adapted from the original version from XBox 360. With lots of action, you will have a hard time fending off those zombies. The story is about a photojournalist Frank who is supposed to investigate a zombie invasion at a shopping mall. He has to find clues around the mall and kill those zombies of course. There are hundreds of items that you can use as weapons and a good collection of clothing that you can choose from. You can collect bullets and even cash when you kill the zombies. Although the Wii version is a bit wayward when compared to the original XBox version, you can be assured that this is an action-packed game with lots of fun and laughs.
