Lot of good suggestions here. I'll add Pikmin series to the list.

One I haven't seen on here yet is Super Paper Mario. An excellent addition to the Mario Franchise! :)

I just ordered MadWorld since I want to plaly it again, I only rented it before and I bought a copy of Metroid Other M for 10€. I know everyone is hating on the latter but I am entitled to my own opinion and I plan on forming one for myself.

Oh, Wii games... I read the title and thought you were asking for good WWII games :/

You are the second person to say this xD
How can Wii games not be infinitely more interesting than WWII games at thsi point in time ^^
But I agree it can be disappointing if you expected something else.

SirPrimalform: I have to disagree here, plenty of good Wiiware games you can't get anywhere else. My Life As a King is excellent. Also, the Wii doesn't have a hard drive. :P

Blackdrazon: I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but for the OP's clarification, the Wii does have a HD, it just wouldn't even impress the 90's. To save more than a few 8 and 16 bit games to the console, not to forget your save games, you pretty much need an SD card, so while you're considering games, don't forget the price of one of those little things in the long term.

Personally, I haven't played My Life as a King, but I probably should. Thanks for the reminder!

I think the poor quality of TellTale's ports can be first blamed on the lack of hard drive space, and then on the fact that the dev team didn't so much as lift a finger to improve it for disc version. By which I guess I mean I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Seconding the vote for Another Code, if only as a Trace Memory fan who hasn't been able to import. :(
No, it really doesn't have a hard drive. It has 512MB of internal flash memory but it definitely doesn't have a hard drive. I guess Nintendo just weren't expecting downloads to take off (my guess is that they thought they'd only be selling virtual console games and Wiiware that that was 'retro' styled, i.e. nothing approaching a disc game). Pretty short sighted of them, I hope the Wii U has a hard drive.

Oh yes, and Sam & Max Seasons 1 and 2 were only ever released as disc games on the Wii, so you can't blame that on limited space. I'm sure ToMI's port would have been a bit less rubbish if they'd had more space though.

A rubbish addition to the Paper Mario series though. They stripped out all the RPGness!

This might be a pretty decent resource.

I remember buying Zack & Wiki and having to return it to the shop because I couldn't play it.

No matter what I did, how I waved the remote it just wouldn't respond. Maybe it was lighting that caused it but I tried every thing possible and it was just unplayable.

Believe me, I'm far happier with Wii games than yet another WWII game. It's just the capitalised I's that threw me off.

Paper Mario 3 is one that's coming out on DS. Super Paper Mario is separate from the main Paper Mario series. Perhaps that not obvious because it was not on Gamecube (the platform it was developed for), which already has Paper Mario 2.

Regular DS or 3DS?

I've never played Paper Mario until Super Paper Mario. I think it's a splendid game too.

My mistake, then!

I like it, myself, but for people who don't, the original is on the Virtual Console and it is probably the best (so is Super Mario RPG, and if you include it, it's definitely the best).

I'm sure there will be more coverage on the memory available for the Wii U at a later point but this is what I remember reading awhile back.

http://www.geek.com/articles/games/nintendo-expects-gamers-to-supply-a-hard-drive-for-the-wii-u-20120613/

But for games OP is looking for I suggest the following:

Sin and Punishment Star Successor
Okami
Mario Galaxy (I sure you can call it casual but I don't care it's good)
Zelda Skyward Sword (or Twilight Princess)
Super Smash Bros Brawl (Melee is the best)
