The ranking will continue to evolve automatically according to user scores submitted to the Nintendo Life game database, so don't worry if you missed out on 'voting' - you can still do so by simply scrolling down and rating them now, and the order will be influenced! Remember, though, that this list is not set in stone. Thanks to the efforts of Nintendo Life readers, we've now assembled our list of the top 50 Wii games ever.Īny Wii game with at least 50 User Ratings is eligible. Its brilliantly compact design (the size of three DVD boxes, remember?) and approachable and accessible controller helped it open up gaming to a whole new audience, young and old alike.ĭespite its reputation as a casual, 'kiddy' console, Nintendo Wii hosted a huge library of fantastic and varied titles, the best of which took advantage of its unique controller and provided opportunities for experiences that simply weren't being offered on other consoles at the time. All thoughts welcome.It's been many years now since Nintendo changed the game with Wii, the little motion-controlled console which broke away from the competition and started a revolution. This could be a huge problem once Nintendo take the Wii Shop down next year. I believe that running on a Wii / Wii U (or Dolphin) which has not first 'authenticated' itself with the Wii Shop must have some variables or credentials 'undefined' which prevents the DLC from being properly detected. I believe that the DLC only works if the Wii / Wii U has an 'activated' Wii Shop Account, with a valid number of Wii Points (even if 0). Here, Case 5 was again immediately playable from the 'New Game / Continue' screen. I did a bit more experimentation, by removing the save files (one of which was this 'Pay & Play' file), reinstalling the DLC wad, then relaunching the game. Regardless of whether I 'continue' or 'quit' this process, the case is now directly selectable from the 'New Game / Continue' screen. Now, if I launch the main game, choosing 'Buy Episode 5' brings me to a screen which claims two things: I did that, and then after a minute or too I was able to browse the Wii Shop. I then opened the Wii Shop Channel, which didn't do much until I plugged in my Ethernet cable.

There is always a 'Buy Case 5' option on the main menu, so I decided to click it - I got an issue which I was able to reproduce in Dolphin which I suspect is related to having never generated Wii Shop credentials (since I had never opened the Wii Shop Channel) on my Wii U. WAD without issue, and the extra 'PWAA Pay & Play (E)' save data entry appeared as expected, however no 'Case 5' option appeared in-game on the same screen as 'New Game / Continue' (where it should be). I also noticed issues when trying to run the Case 5 DLC.
