OMG LISTS - The Past, Present & Future of the Wii in 2009

Notes:

• I am sure that I missed out on some games for both the Wii and WiiWare. Feel free to correct my mistake.
  

• I purposefully tried to list games exclusive to the console. There are three exceptions to this: Tiger Woods 10, Virtual Tennis 2009, and Ghostbusters. The latter two were tied rather heavily to MotionPlus, and the latter is significantly different from the other version to earn a mention (specifically, the visual style and the controls).
  

• I cannot guarantee that any of these games are of quality. The way I produced this list was from a combination of franchise recognition, new intellectual properties, reviews that I have read, and gameplay footage (mostly via YouTube) that I found interesting. Think of this more as a guide to lead you away from the shovelware.
  

• I did not list Virtual Console games. Why? Google them.

• If you want to find out more about a game, Google it.
  

• I would not mind putting a list together for the PS3, PSP and DS. However, I lack the first two systems and would hope that folks with them would point me in the general direction of Qualityville.
