Super Mario Galaxy
I got a Wii for my birthday a few months ago, and I haven't had that much fun playing games, since a very long time. Take for instance Super Mario Galaxy. According to Game Rankings the best game since Ocarina Of Time. I don't know about that, but it's the best Wii game I've played so far, that's for sure.
It's the first really successful translation of a 2D platform gameplay mechanic to 3D. Maybe it's the 'gravity system' (most objects you can walk on are like little planets with gravity pulling you towards it from all sides, no matter how small they are), the excellent camera movement (lot's of 3rd person games have the tendency to get that wrong) and the rewarding pulling of 'star bites' (little stars) towards you by pointing at them with the Wiimote. Also, the music is just perfect and the difficulty is exactly right (for me that is) with challenging but not ridiculously difficult bosses. It's all balanced very well, and it's, simply, fun! So if you're looking for a great game to buy a Wii for, you can stop looking! If you allready have a Wii, you should be playing the game right now instead of reading this!
