Sin and Punishment was fantastic. One of my favorite Wii games for sure. You're not missing out on anything with Epic Mickey though, as mediocre as games get.

Wii would like to try some games...
Believe it or not but there are still some Wii games that I've yet to try. From all the last gen systems, the Wii is the oldest console I own. I had a Wii for a long time and I've played all the great games, there are still some games that have slipped my radar. Some might be obscure. Just like my PS3 list, I'll make a list. But before I do, here are some links to blogs you might of missed:
daftman wants Garfield on a a diet
Vice's Assistant talks Sonic redesign
Alex-C25's favorite Wii 2D platformers
And with that out of the way, here are the Wii games I've yet to try:
Flingsmash: Flingsmash from what I remember was a 2D platformer from Nintendo. If I remember you controlled the game using the then newfangled Wiimotion Plus tech. Not sure if it was good, it did get above average reviews, plus it comes with a Wiimotion Plus controller. You can never have too many of those.
Fortune Street: I think I remember reading about this game in Nintendo Power. I think they said it was a party game in the vein of Monopoly or something. It also features Mario and Dragon Quest characters in the game. It's pretty cheap so it's worth a look.
Rhythm Heaven: I'm not one for rhythm based games but I did try Elite Beat Agents and that game was probably the best and onlyr rhythm game I'll ever try. Till I found out about this. There was a Rhythm Heaven game on the GBA but it never released here. There is one on the DS but heard the touch controls aren't accurate. This one on the Wii is what people say it's the best in the series. It looks fun, and it's practically free on Amazon.
Epic Mickey: I knew about this game from a long time ago, and heard alot of the darker tones were changed. I heard the game was okay but I like Disney and that is enough for me to try it, if I see it at a bargain.
Sin and Punishment: I know little about this series. I know that the first game was never released here. It came to the Wii Virtual Console as part of it's import title section. The second game came to the Wii and heard it's an on-rails shooter. Heard it was pretty good. It was also made by Treasure, I only have one game from them. The game is Wario World.
Mad World: I heard plenty about this game. It was made to show people that the Wii can have M-Rated Mature Hardcore games or something. I heard that it also has a neat artstyle. It's black and white and the only other color is red, for the blood. These guys went on to work on Sonic Colors on the Wii. A drastic departure from Mad World.
Fragile Dreams: I read about this on Nintendo Power a long time ago as a preview articles. The game is an rpg that takes place in Japan or something and you have to escape, I think. I also heard it's like Fallout. That got me interested in it. I'll try this since this is the close I'll get to a Fallout game that takes place in Japan.
Baroque: This game is actually one I've always wanted to try but never did. I always saw it at stres like K-Mart at discounted prices but never picked it up. I heard it is some sort of dungeon crawler with a risk-reward system. State_Alchamist recommended it to me and if there is one thing I like, is game recommendations from friends.
Excite Truck: This was originally a Wii launch title if I'm remembering correctly. I never had a Wii at launch till 2007 so I passed it. I did try it's sequel or spiritual successor ExciteBots and loved it. It's a game with animal vehicles that transform into robots and do crazy shit while racing. Like throwing pies at clowns while flying while trying to grind a rail while avoiding getting destroyed by other racers. I don't think Excite Truck is anything like Excite Bots but I'll try it.
Pandora's Tower: This was originally one of the trio of Japanese rpgs Nintendo didn't want to bring to the west. They did bring Xenoblade and third-parties did eventually bring the rest. I heard PT is like Castlevania with different endings. Heard it wasn't as good as the othet 2 but worth playing. I wanted it just for the sake of having all 3 but I actually want to play it before it becomes rare.
Those are all the Wii games I want to try at some point. Are there any Wii games you haven't tried? Thanks for reading and later.
