    Default I got a Wii

    So I went out and splurged on a Wii along with Twilight Princess (which is just awesome btw) but I wanted you guys to recommend some games for me to buy, don't recommend any football games though, I can't stand them, I really want to get my RPG game face back on as while playing all the new style RPG's the 360 has I want something a little more traditional.

    Wii has RPGs?

    My favorite Wii games are Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Donkey Kong Country Returns.

    Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is an RPG, as is Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

    If you gather 3 friends, you're not gonna have more fun with any other game than New Super Mario Bros!

    otherwise:

    The Resident Evil Chronicle games.

    Super Smash Bros. Brawl
    Super Mario Galaxy
    Super Mario Galaxy 2
    Tatsunoko vs Capcom

    I believe Skywards Sword and Kirby's Return to Dreamland are coming soon as well.

    I like Brawl.

    Kirby's Epic Yarn is supposedly good.

    (Brawl is the only Wii game I have ever played. Anytime I get a hold of a Wii, which isn't often, I beeline for the vintage games section and play OoT or something.)

    Fire Emblem is pretty good, haven't played Tales of Symphonia or Arc Rise Fantasia yet. I also still need to pick up the Crystal Chronicles sets but I've been busy. Also, hell yes Twilight Princess is an awesome game.

    My recommendations:

    No More Heroes 1 and 2 - a very weird experience with motion controls but it is funny as hell and was really fun.
    Mad World - Imagine if someone made Running Man into a game, and you pretty much got this title down pat. Also really funny.
    Fragile Dreams - Its more of an old school PC adventure game but the art style and story are pretty amazing.
    House of the Dead Overkill - I actually like rail shooters and this one is hilarious... it is practically a satire on 70s cop shows and horror films. It's first boss is a psychic zombie version of Stephen Hawkins for crying out loud.
    Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom - It's the famous Capcom Vs series with some long time anime faves, gameplay is a bit dumbed down for my taste but its controls are not very different from MvC3.

    In terms of ports/remakes on the systems, NightS and Okami are good titles, unless you didn't like them the first go around, (granted NightS loses a bit of its luster since the novelty of 3D games is gone).

    On Virtual Console:
    There is FFIV: TAY but honestly... I'd buy it for the PSP cause its not only cheaper but you get better graphics and portability along with another copy of FFIV.
    World of Goo is a very interesting puzzle game, it bares some minor similarities to LocoRoco
    Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen - Great lost SNES gem, it's story is very muted I'm afraid but the gameplay starts off deceptively simple and then a GameFaqs guide later you'll discover the rabbit hole that is trying to get all the endings and unlock all the units. It's a very different kind of SRPG, but it's Matsuno so its expected.
    Mega Man 9 and 10 - If you haven't picked them up on the PS3 yet of course, but still good games from MM standards.

    There are more but it will come down to personal taste and whether you actually care for old school gaming and whether you still have the means to play it.

    Screw Brawl, just get Melee instead. Listen to everyone else for non-Smash things. xD

    If you're in a European country you could give Another Code R (I think that was the name?) a try. I haven't played it myself since I'm an American, but I adored Trace Memory.

    If not in America, clearly Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story.

    For titles not mentioned
    Arc Rise Fantasia is a pretty straight forward JRPG, pretty good if that's what you're looking for.
    Muramasa: The Demon Blade is an amazing game as well.
    Sin and Punishment is pretty good for the price now too

    Then OF COURSE, there is Monster Hunter Tri, which probably has my most time spent on the Wii.

    Personally I HATE the Wii Fire Emblem.

    Much to my detriment, Arc Rise Fantasia has not been released in Europe :/ the Wii isn't region free by any chance? xD

    It's certainly inferior to the previous GBA instalments but I enjoyed it just the same.

    Afraid not, but if you're willing to ship me a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles, I can ship you Arc Rise Fantasia, luckily its not too difficult to mod the Wii.
