What games does Wii fit plus come with?

Wii games fit for a casual gamer but with a great story

  • I'm looking for Nintendo Wii games that scratch my epic storyline itch but won't frustrate my intermediate skill and very intermittent play opportunities... I like video games but I'm a merely adequate gamer skill-wise and generally too busy to play very consistently. I really enjoy games with a good storyline with some scope and art but often the best games frustrate me because I can't invest enough time to master the play and get hung up at a difficult point. By way of example, my favorite Gamecube game was Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. A common complaint of this game was that it was too easy, but it was perfect for me: it had a good story, interesting play dynamics but I could make good progress with the odd hour or two session I found available, and always found it easy to pick up when a week or two had elapsed. By contrast, I never finished Metroid Prime - certainly not an excessively hard game, but I hit a point where there was a long gap between saves and several tough enemies between and I just got frustrated after the third or fifth time I foundered at some challenging point and found myself stuck with no progress after a longish gaming session. I have standard controllers with nunchucks and a classic controller for virtual console games, I'd rather not invest in any more hardware but I'd consider picking up a Gamecube controller or other peripheral for the right game. No console modding. Help me find alternatives to channel surfing!

  • Answer:

    Okami has an epic storyline. And I've seen a few complaints that it's too easy. Trauma center has selectable difficulties, short play times, and episodic narrative. Super Paper Mario is a neat side scroller / RPG with good writing and not too difficult. Really, if you've got an hour of freetime, pretty much everything but maybe Metroid and Zelda should be doable. Unfortunately, my Wii collection doesn't have much else in the way of "good storyline," but sorta of the opinion that if you want a good story, read a book.

All the Monkey Island games! They are on WiiWare and have a great silly storyline. They take no gamer reflexes at all.

How about Zelda: Twilight Princess? I've played through some but not all of the game and there are extensive walkthroughs for this (and other popular games) if you happen to get stuck somewhere.

You know, I'm playing Harry Potter Lego on my iPhone, and I've seen it played on the Wii, and I think you might like it. There's Star Wars lego, too, I think? It isn't hard to grasp, I make good progress in the hour or so I play before bed, some of the puzzles or battles are challenging. You don't have to know anything about Harry Potter for it to be fun.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions. I highlighted the ones I'm most likely to try but all the advice and suggestions are much appreciated.

The new James Bond game is really fun. Each mission can be completed in about 30 - 45 minutes and the online matches typically last 10 - 15 minutes. I don't have great "shooter skills", yet I still have found it to be a really fun game. I'd second Monkey Island if you like adventure games. The length of the sections of Resident Evil 4 may be too unpredictable for you. Save points are sporadic. It's an awesomely fun game and I highly recommend it, but it may not fit your needs. I've enjoyed Okami, but I'm stuck at what I think is the last major section. The game just seems to go on and on. I may not be able to finish it. But I've really enjoyed it up until the end.

Fyi I found Little King's Story too hard, and a bit too much Sims stuff not enough story stuff. I've not played it, but want to try Endless Ocean 2. Deadly creatures is also meant to have a relatively good story.

Just a note that Resident Evil 4 was very cool, but probably too hard. I died a ton and never finished. Marvel Ultimate Alliance was easy to play in short increments. The story was meh, but might be enough to suck you in if you're interested in comics/superheroes.

Little Kings Story! You can adjust the difficulty at anytime in the game if a part feels too hard\too easy. I'm more on the "hardcore" gamer side of things than casual but I thought the story was wonderful and there is plenty to do in the game itself.
