It’s kind of hard to believe it’s been almost 6 years since the good old Wii launched and literally revolutionized video gaming as we knew it. With many excellent titles out there for the platform we think now is the perfect time to look back fondly on some of them. Keep checking back on this post every week as we continue to add more narrated “Looking Back” videos.

Endless Ocean Blue World: (Video added on March 5, 2012)


Filled with nautical fun Endless Ocean is not only a unique relaxing game, but also a beautiful one!

Elebits: (Video added on March 20, 2012)


Zapping tiny Elebit critters is shockingly addictive.
 

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast: (Video added on April 5, 2012)


Donkey Kong and friends use their bongo jet packs to blast through the jungle.

Klonoa Door to Phantomile: (Video added on May 3, 2012)


Klonoa gets a coat of fresh platforming paint in this Wii update to the PS classic.

Even though you are your pals will be working together to take the beast down, you’ll still be competing to see who can do a better job. With a total of 14 Bosses to take on, there’s plenty of heated action to make you & your friends work up a sweat.

As someone who has played the JP title since Summer, I can honestly say I prefer the English version of the game. The audio is delivered with a good amount of care and passion, it sounds great! Check out our ‘Language Comparison’ videos and decide for yourself.
