Best of the Wii: Super Mario Galaxy Oct 04, 2012

Show notes

If you've followed our list so far, then this should come as no surprise. The gravity-defying and genre-defining platformer is one of Mario's finest, and it is our No. 1 best Wii game. Neal, Patrick, Zach, and Tyler tell you why the game outshines the rest of the competition and easily landed at the top of our list. Thus ends our feature and podcast series. Thanks to everyone who has read, listened, and commented. It's been a wild couple of weeks.

Best of the Wii: House of the Dead: Overkill Oct 02, 2012

Show notes

It shocked us, too, but House of the Dead: Overkill is the Nintendo World Report staff's #1 third-party Wii game. Join Neal and Zach (with an intro from Josh) as they wax poetic about the one-time cuss-words-in-a-video-game record holder and one hell of a light gun experience. We touch on the messed-up plot, the non-stop humor, and we curse a whole lot. Note: This game is totally rated M for Mature, and the songs we use in this segment and the content discussed ain't exactly for children.

Best of the Wii: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Oct 01, 2012

Show notes

We all knew this one was gonna show up somewhere.Skyward Sword makes its mark at no. 2 on our list of Top 10 first-party Wii games.

After that, our "That Nintendo Year" segment returns, focusing this week on 2001, the year that both the Game Boy and GameCube launched.

Best of the Wii: Boom Blox Bash Party Sep 27, 2012

Show notes

Boom Blox Bash Party is tailor made for the Wii. It isn't a down-port, and it wasn't put together by some ragtag B-team. It's a shining example of what the system was capable of in loving hands. Listen to Tyler Ohlew and JP Corbran explain just how great Boom Blox Bash Party is, all while not understanding just what Steven Spielberg had to do with it.
