Which games on Nintendo's latest console bring back memories of the glory days?

The Wii gets a hard time for appealing to a new breed of gamers. For many people Nintendo's desire to appeal to this new 'casual' market has resulted in a console devoid of proper games - the kind of games Nintendo made during the '90s. In order to ease the pain felt by many disgruntled long-time Nintendo fans, we've put together the Top 10: Wii Games made for Gamers. It's a list full of quality, with the majority only being available on Nintendo's latest console. Time to dust off those Wii Remotes and go hardcore.

10. Battalion Wars 2

Kuju's second game in the series builds successfully on the GameCube original. With some of the most impressive visuals seen on the Wii, intuitive controls, large-scale battles and an awful lot of action, there's really nothing else on the console that compares. A relatively disappointing two-player mode and an ability to employ brute force over tactics prevent BWII from being a classic, but it's a game that every gamer should consider picking up for their Wii.

9. No More Heroes

Probably the most adult game on the Wii, No More Heroes is a hardcore gamer's wet dream. Criminally the excessive blood seen in Japanese and US versions has been removed from the European version, but the swearing, sexual references and continual nods to hardcore and retro gaming remain. It blows hot and cold, with excellent hack and slash style combat juxtaposed with boring open world sections, but No More Heroes is still the Wii game that all the cool kids should own.

Heatseeker is rubbsih imo. And Brawl should be there but it probably isn't because it isn't out worldwide yet; same with Mario Kart.

No More Heores should be higher than number 9. Heck! How the hell did Geometry Wars make it into this chart! And Zelda should be higher too, Paper Mario shouldn't be higher than Zelda. It wasn't even that good a game. What a suckish chart. But Galaxy is at number one so that's okay. :D
