Globe and Mail writes: "We Love Golf!, from Camelot Software Planning-the brains behind the superb Mario Golf games-is the latest example of a talented game maker being flummoxed by Nintendo's white box. The Japanese developer apparently felt compelled to make use of the Wii remote's motion sensitivity, replacing the tried and true three-tap swing system of their previous golf games with an imprecise and awkward physical swing meter that bears more in common with the movement involved in tossing a ball to a toddler than a proper golf swing. Indeed, next to the highly evolved and empowering controls of other current generation golf games, such as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008 and Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds, We Love Golf!'s swing system seems like a frustrating step backward for the genre."
Phil writes, "Weekly, usually on Mondays, SuperPhillip Central shares five of its favorite video game music tracks. The list is quickly approaching 1,000 songs! Anyway, while I do cover relatively unknown songs and games at times, I've never made a habit out of putting those relatively unknown and/or underrated games with great soundtracks into their own article. Until now. This series of articles is dedicated to those of us who love video game music and to those underrated gems with even more underrated soundtracks. After you've taken a look at the first batch of underrated games and soundtracks, why not suggest your own in the comments?"
SuperPhillip Central writes, "I'm sure you read the title of this article and did a double take. Perhaps if you had a liquid in your mouth, you spit it all over your screen. Sorry about that. You might say to yourself, "The Wii doesn't even have ten games were playing, so how can you possibly list fifty?!" Well, this series of five articles is intended for such uninformed statements. You might look at a game on this list, and laugh. They might not all be AAA blockbusters, but a great game is a great game regardless of content or budget. Lots of people learned that lesson with the Wii and handhelds devices.
On this week's installment of The 50 Best Nintendo Wii Games, we have a cornucopia of genres and franchises being represented. We have platforming, shooting, survival-horror, swordplay, and even some golf thrown in for good measure (yes, golf). Perhaps this second list of ten best Wii games will pique your curiosity and make you "dust off" that Wii of yours and try a game out you would never have known about otherwise."

The Wii is definitely a wife friendly system. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is good for co-op wife play and e had a lot of fun getting every coin in NSMB Wii. Rright now we're playing through the VC Secret of Mana. The Wii didn't have a lot of third party support but it's hard to beat when it comes to family games.
Skyward Sword was an amazing game. I have played it a couple of times. It's almost as good as Ocarina of Time. I've had a lot of fun with my Wii. I just wish it could have put out more games that I would have enjoyed. Hopefully the Wii U changes that. Based on the launch lineup, it will.
SuperPhillip Central writes: "The Nintendo Wii has a wide range of games that went under the radar. These ten games aren't just titles that were overlooked - these are ten that a fair share of gamers and consumers might not even know exist! Read our thoughts on what ten games are deserving of your attention."
Oh man, I've got Blast Works, it's got ports of all of Kenta Cho's classic freeware games too.
I remember when I had more time and back around release that I was all about getting high scores and making levels with Blast Works.
Nice list, Kororinpa and Munchables are two I've been meaning to try.
I'll also add Disaster: Day of Crisis, Eledees, Wario Land Shake and Pandora's Tower as some lesser-known titles worth checking out.
Everybody's Golf will do fine for me
I can't believe they let Camelot make this game instead of a new Mario Tennis/Golf or a new Golden F'in Sun. Shows that Nintendo gives the "core" (as they call it) the finger. Again.
Ya so i have never wasted my time with the wii to be honest, although my cousin got the wii fit and i had fun on that for a lil while, but my younger brother owns it. Im trying to figure out a game to get him. He is 11 and easily amused. Obviously i do my best to guide him in gaming. Whenever he picks up (movie title) THE GAME i dont let that fly. Trying to teach him that its all about 1st party games dont waste time with wii sports knockoffs and sh*t. anyway, want to get him a golf game on the wii, whats best?
