I got $20 to download games from the Wii Shop Channel for Christmas. I already have a few games I've downloaded, but I find I don't really play them very much. There is one game that has made the whole system worthwhile: Dr. Mario. I used to play that game with my old middle high/high school friend Shane Harris. We'd battle it out all night. Anyway, here is the list of downloaded games I have (the ones with asterisks are the ones I just downloaded with the $20).
Castlevania (NES)
Donkey Kong Country (SNES)*
Dr. Mario Online Rx. (Originally from NES)
Galaga (NES)
Mario Kart 64 (N64)
Ninja Gaiden (NES)
Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)*
Star Fox (N64)
Street Fighter II (SNES)
Super Mario Brothers (NES)
Super Mario Brothers 2 (NES)
Super Mario Brothers 3 (NES)*
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Here's what I've got my eyes on still, for future purchase:
Double Dragon (NES)
Mega Man (NES)
Metroid (NES)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Where I am lacking is the WiiWare titles. I'm not too familiar with most of them. I know Justin and Tomoe downloaded the Tetris, so Justin, if you're reading this, do you guys still play it very much? I'm sure it's nothing like Dr. Mario with Tomoe, but has it remained a fun game? So, you gamers out there, throw me some ideas!

Yeah, we still play Tetris Party fairly often (obviously not as much as Dr Mario though). It's a lot of fun and there are a lot of modes, plus you can play online. Another good one is World of Goo, though I got stuck a while back and haven't played it recently. I want to get the new Excite Bike WiiWare game, it looks pretty good.
ReplyDeleteYour post has inspired me to do a post of my favorite iPhone games...
Hey Justin, thanks for the comment. I think I'l put the Tetris and Excite Bike on my wish list for the future. I remembered liking Excite Bike when I was a kid. The new one looks even better. Another one of my friends commented (via Facebook) and suggested Mega Man 9. As I was creating this post, I also thought of doing an iPhone post too. We got $30 in gift cards for the iTunes store and have only spent half of it and were wondering what others thought were good. I'll wait for your post and add to it myself. Looking forward to it!
