"Can you imagine a video game sales pitch to a publisher which mentions, "Sandwiches: Drive through the ingredients in the proper order to make a delicious sandwich.", as a mini-game feature? Probably not? Yeah, I couldn't either until I saw it in motion and did just that in ExciteBots: Trick Racing on the Wii!
ExciteBots was developed by Monster Games, the same developer behind the Wii launch title Excite Truck and the 3DS launch title PilotWings Resort. The game was published by Nintendo, and received an ESRB rating of "EVERYONE" with "Mild Fantasy Violence" listed as content for parents and gamers to be aware of.
How many hours have U.S. Wii owners spent making sandwiches, playing darts, bowling, and throwing pies at clowns during races in ExciteBots: Trick Racing, since the game released just over 4 years ago? If you own a Wii, or even a Wii U, how many hours might you expect from ExciteBots: Trick Racing should you buy it? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!...

I highly doubt it but i hope this comes out on European stores. We never got this game and it looked awesome.
Its very good game.. it even reminded a bit of older Burnout games..with nitro everything becoming very blurry.. good stuff.. i think its much better than Excitetruck
SuperPhillip Central writes, "Currently, Wii U owners don't have a lot to play as of right now. However, the Wii U does feature something that makes it still worthy to own for those who missed out on the awesome Wii back catalog of games. A common criticism among those who are ignorant is that the Wii has few games worth playing. This assumption is most definitely false, as evident by our list of fifty of the best Wii games. That said, while you wait for some titles to finally launch on the Wii U, why not use the system's backwards compatibility to play some Wii titles that you may have missed out on? Better yet, how about you check out this list of twenty Wii games that are available for $20 or less? We could all use some financial assistance, especially in this economy, so why not be a bit frugal in our purchases? That is exactly what this list is for. If you missed out on the Wii for any reason, and you are looking for something to play on your Wii U, this list is for you!"
Not to excuse the software drought the Wii U has been in for the past couple of months, but backwards compatibility is indeed good for something in this regard.
Monster Hunter Tri really shouldn't be on this list. 3 Ultimate comes out THIS month. Unless of course you just want a cheap Monster Hunter game; in which case, knock yourself out.
Kinda saddened that Muramasas: The Demon Blade was not listed. That one was pretty cheap when I nabbed it off of Amazon around half a year ago.
but really, the games dont have to be cheap to be fun to play on the wii-u. Metroid prime trilogy, yeah that one is pricy but it is still fun to play.
I'd say just about any game that was fun to play on the wii would be equally fun to play on the wii-u. I unhooked the wii when the wii-u was purchased. i like that the wii-u and my tv display wii games in 720p even though the games arent native.
The hdmi makes wii games look better and crisper than component on the wii. Some of the more recent wii games i got for cheap were:
kirby epic yarn, tatsunoko vs capcom, samurai shodown anthology, king of fighters orochi saga, the conduit....all of which i paid no more than $20 ea (kirby was $10).
Oh, yes, of course. This article wasn't meant to be saying that a game must be cheap to be fun. Sorry if that message was somehow presented to you or anyone else.
agreed its best to get them wii games *like how im doing now* becuase give it a few more years it may be come nonexistent in regular stores.
but perhaps not with the wiiu being backwards compatible n all
Its funny that people bitch and moan about backwards compatibility, when in this case the players could fill the Wii U "drought" with Wii games we all know were overlooked by most.
Just picked up Trauma Center Second Opinion for 5 bucks. Do yourself a favor and get a copy NOW. :]

MH Tri (under 20)
Fragile Dreams (under 20)

Truth be told wii had one of the best library's of the 3 consoles last gen. It just didnt have multiplats but what's wrong with nearly all exclusives? Lots to love. I'm still playing GameCube games to this day. Matter of fact I just bought a few new ones. Nin has never disappointed me in the games department and I'm sure the WiiU will be no different.
