Unfortunately, the Wii is pretty much dead now, with only a handful of shovelware titles coming soon. Unless they announce something decent by the holidays, this is it. So, enjoy the classics that the Wii has left for us, and hack it if you haven't already done so. It's extremely fucking simple nowadays and I doubt Nintendo is every going to release another update.

WiiWare games
(Note that all games are exclusive to Wii unless stated otherwise)

A number of WiiWare demos are now re-available to try before you buy. This seems to be a gradual revision, as Europe and other regions are still limited to 2 demos currently. Whether it stays or not is yet to be seen.

Virtual Console


PAYAN FOR ROMS. There are homebrew emulators that work well. Don't consider buying one until you've tried the game on the homebrew emulators, since you're getting scammed otherwise. The VC offers plenty of classic games to play. In addition, Wii remotes are much more convenient than tripping over wires. Many of the virtual console titles are worth buying just for superior controls and the assured quality that you sometimes can't find with emulation. Well, given that we have numerous games on the VC listed in our wiki, you should check our respective sections. However, there are some that may not be available in your region or on the service in general. To double check this, check HERE if you have an American Wii, HERE if you have a European Wii, and I guess HERE if you have a Japanese Wii for some reason. Most of the Hanabi Festival games are translated but some have better fan translations on 'romhacking.net', plus they cost 100 Wii points more than normal games so be very careful before purchase.
