Yeah exactly, that's kind of my point. Ultimately Xenoblade is a null factor regarding the Wii. It having good reasons to not be very big (not that it would have been a big console seller) precisely doesn't change the fact that it wasn't very big.
The console is barely even dead today. Casuals maybe 10-20 years older than us still faithfully use their Wii because Mario Kart, Just Dance, Wii Sports and NSMBW kept it alive in those crowds. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ...

I think most people putting Xenoblade on the list are aware it was a footnote. We just don't care. I'm not filling a Rushmore with 4 variations of 'Wii ____'.

I didn't put TP on here because of the GameCube. Otherwise I probably would have. i mean that's fair to a point, it's just that gamecube was so pitifully low in sales it was clearly more of a Wii game in memory. also it was one of the Wii's major system sellers to start with as a launch game. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

Sure, I think I acknowledged that at some point, but the fun in these topics to me come in discussing the answers.

I think Xenoblade is a unique success story. Certainly not one of the biggest hits on the Wii, but I think it's something worth commemorating.

To me the most compelling argument is that its probably the most technologically impressive game on the Wii, its wild what they pulled off on that little thing.
However, you definitely do not need to have just Wii Whatever on there, there are plenty of alternatives. Ive argued on Xenoblades side and Id still put my four plus Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit over it! I will say also if importance to the systems success is on there you have to have Twilight Princess on there, it was vital in the early days, and at least one of Mario Kart Wii and New Super Mario Bros Wii! --- I just decided to change this sig.

Wii Sports Drop Mario Galaxy Add Twilight Princess All right, I'm convinced. The hype levels of the early Wii will never be replicated, and TP is part of that. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm someone that mostly tries to take these topics seriously and not just list my favorites, and I don't think Xenoblade is that crazy a pick. Maybe I'm Board 8-pilled, but it's one of the most acclaimed games on the system. It's far from the biggest stretch in these topics.

funny enough i'd totally say Galaxy is a better game than TP, just that TP is more relevant to the Wii to make it viewed as respectable at first.
then Just Dance came out and nevermind. legit don't think there's a better game that represents the sheer casualization of a console. at least Wii Sports had the argument of being a tech demo of sorts, a way to get people together to play. Just Dance was like... nope, entire casual audience let's go. the Nintendogs of the Wii. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wii Sports Remove Super Paper Mario Add The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Twilight Princess just captured the Wii hype so well, even if I don't like how it mirrored the entire game so Link can be right-handed. And let's not forget the meltdown the internet had when Jeff Gertsmann gave the game an 8.8. Which we later realized was an appropriate score for the game. Though I will say that Super Paper Mario has this weird feud going on in the Tenor gifs. --- FFXIV - Faerie Server: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/5086952/ F/GO: 271551102; Bleach Brave Souls: 56688058 ...

Wii Sports Super Smash Bros. Brawl Super Mario Galaxy The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess I don't even like Twilight Princess but this game was such a big deal at the time in a way I don't think people remember. The backlash against Wind Waker was so immense that those early trailers of a (relatively) realistic Link and Hyrule with OoT callbacks were a massive stabilizing force, and I think it moved a lot of consoles in 2006 when people might have otherwise viewed the Wii as more of a toy. ...

I think this is easily the best argument made btw. It's not good enough to put it up there, but we've agreed on that all day. That it's an achievement it was released to me doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things except we can agree it's nice it exists. I am somewhat surprised being so extremely far from being one of the biggest hits doesn't matter more to people. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ...

It was absolutely "one of the biggest hits" unless your only criteria is sales/attach rate.

When I say it's far from being a being one of the biggest hits, I'm not saying it's not a hit not that it had no importance! I'm saying there are Wii games way ahead of it. I think LightningStrikes and I are closer to agreement than it seems because we're arguing pros and cons respectively. Sales/attach rate isn't the only criteria fo rme but I also think you have to ignore it a good bit for it to make top 4.
