Ranking the Wii Series

I personally rank all the "Wii" series games for Wii, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.

This video was originally released via Card #42 of the Scott The Woz Collectible Trading Cards in late 2022.

Wii Sports Resort really is something special. Wuhu Island is one of the most fully realized locations Nintendo's ever had, which is crazy since it's so down to earth compared to their more wacky worlds. But I think that's the beauty of it, being so similar to our own world, and yet so inviting all the same. And all of the activities from bowling to basketball to swordplay to archery and especially the island flyover gave you tons of reasons to come back. It's genuinely one of my favorite games of all time.

I remember being home on Christmas break, eating Christmas cookies, and playing wii sports resort all night. Good times

Wii Chess should have let you assign Miis to specific pieces

I like to imagine Scotts laying on the ground kicking his feet in the air behind him while talking about these games.

[Bssguy]

the wii series is the 8th best selling video game franchise of all time, surpassing franchises like final fantasy, sonic, and zelda, so i'm surprised it's not talked about more

[johnclark]

Crazy to think that Scott just ranked every single Wii game in under 36 minutes

[syrexio]

Scott somehow manages to be more down to earth/toned down on this channel and still crack me up. I need to watch videos from the stash more.

Wii music actually taught me a lot about music arrangement and production to some degree. I thought was so magical to make different genres of well known songs

[thanatoast]

Oh boy I wonder how Scott feels about the most musically complex game in the Wii series.

I'm talking about the Tanks! minigame from Wii Play.

The island fly over always made me wish it didnt have such a small time limit, there is another island if you go far enough (but it is a wayyy smaller island). It also came with morning, sunset and dusk mode. It was just a relaxing game mode that i wish got brought to the switch

When I saw the title, I instantly felt nostalgia for a wii game where you ski down a mountain that used the balance board. I haven’t played it in a long time, and maybe it’s just my nostalgia talking, but I remember it having one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever experienced in a game. When Scott got to the end of the video and didn’t even mention it, I googled the game only to find out it was called We Ski instead of Wii Ski.

wii party is one of my favorite games of all time, played it all the time with my friend, bought it with a wii remote bundle and it was so good

[NintendoHero]

Glad to see Resort at the top where it belongs, also love to see the Wii Fit U love

Defending Wii Music in 2008 was training for defending the Wii U in 2014.

[rickyleenorton]

Hey Scott! Been a fan for awhile and I love your videos, and I'm glad to see you talk about the Wii series, because it feels like most people forget about the Wii series aside from both Wii Sports games and Wii Play and that Mis are kind of forgotten now, which is a bit sad to me, because I grew up with the Wii and I'd love to see the Miis and the original Wii Sports games make a big comeback on Switch or the next console because I a soft spot and a ton of nostalgia and good memories with them.

genuinely stoked that wii sports resort was yr #1 pick. that’s the first video game i ever played all the way back in christmas 2009 so it really holds a special place in my heart

[redpandaplush]

Wii Party U was a drop of water in the desert for Mario Party fans at the time. It's not great, but it's a hell of a lot better than what Mario was offering. I remember being ecstatic to play on a board without piling into a car

[Chief_Nicc]

I’m surprised he didn’t include 51 world wide classics, that really gives me wii vibes

[myriadmediamusings]

Never realized until this just how many games in this “Wii” series there were. With that name they definitely standout in a Wii and Wii U game collection.

Of the ones I played I’d say Wii Sports Resort is my personal favorite and best.
