Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Wii specific-rules: I am not going to limit this to one per franchise or say that the game HAS to be Wii-exclusive. If you really think that TP and RE4's Wii versions are not only the definitive ones but belong on a Wii Rushmore I will not stop you, just think about the options before voting

Punch-Out!!

Wii Sports is the best seller
Mario Galaxy is the most critically acclaimed
Mario Kart Wii is a top seller and made good use of Peripherals.
And Punch-Out!! probably made the best use of the nunchucku and wiimote of any game aside from maybe wii sports.

Red Steel

Red Steel might not be one of Nintendo's big esteemed franchises, but I remember it very clearly being advertised as the Wii game at the time, the one that was going to make it compete with Playstation and Microsoft in terms of "serious, mature" games, giving you realisitic katana-wielding action not possible on normal consoles

Counterpoint: it was ass and anyone who actually played it (hi) decided to forget it existed. I never would have remembered Red Steel until this post. You have inflicted this upon me.

Wii Sports
Mario Galaxy
Xenoblade
Metroid Prime 3

Wii Sports is a gimme, Galaxy is maybe the best game on the system, Xenoblade captures the zeitgeist of the later Wii era, and Prime 3 is probably the best use of motion controls on the system. Hot take but Brawl isn't even in the running.

My cousin got it as a gift from his mom when we were like, in middle/high school. Not like as a birthday present or anything, not in a situation where he got in instead of something else, just because his mom was in the store and thought it looked cool. It was so bad he was ANGRY at her for buying it for him, no for free, no strings attached

Saw the freaking Carnival Games box art way too many times when discussing Wii shovelware that actually sold (unlike, say, Ninjabread Man) in every essay and article on the console to not mention it. Twilight Princess spending most of its life as a Gamecube game shunts it down a peg, as does Galaxy taking a year to come out and having to live in the SMASH DOJO timeline.

Wii Sports was the video game of the late 2000s and almost single-handedly made the Wii so popular, it kind of has to be there. I don't think the other games need much explaining though I originally had Galaxy over NSMB.
