Game Podunk writes, "When compared to what’s available on the PS3 and X360, the selection of horror games on the Wii is undoubtedly slim. In fact, it’s easier to compile a top list from various consoles rather than exclusively picking them out for the Wii system. It’s not to say that horror addicts didn’t enjoy solid titles on the Wii like Dead Space: Extraction and House of the Dead 2 and 3 Returns. But there are also a few not so great titles like Alone in the Dark (no irony intended with the subject) and Obscure: The Aftermath. Then there are the more familiar and long established horror franchises like Silent Hill and Resident Evil that pleasantly trickles down every so often to the family-friendly platform. Now… much deserving of a terrified audience, here are 3 more titles to scream at because they have dared to be played alone in the dark."
Bloody Disgusting reflects on a highly unusual addition to the Wii’s library, an official game based on Ju-on: The Grudge that’s also a haunted house simulator.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Mario games are great for Wii, but what about survival horror games? You wouldn't think it, but the family-friendly box has some satisfyingly creepy titles."
How many times are we going to hear "you wouldn't think these kind of games would be on a Nintendo console?"
Seriously anyone who spews that sounds like an uninformed grandparent. At this point it shouldn't surprise you that any kind of game comes to a Nintendo console.
In fact every console from every hardware manufacturer is family friendly.
Because generally it messes the bulk of em.
Doom 3 skipped Wii
Doom skipped Wii and Wii U
Alien Isolation skipped Wii and Wii U
Evil Within skipped Wii and Wii U
Silent Hill series.....like MOST of them skipped Wii and Wii U
Outlast skipped Wii U
Soma skipped Wii U
Layers Of Fear skipped Wii U
P.T skipped Wii U
Among The Sleep skipped Wii U
Dead Space series (ie MAIN GAMES) skipped Wii and Wii U
Dead Island skipped Wii and Wii U
Dying Light skipped Wii U
The list goes on, a vast number of series just don't show up on those platforms. Its not that shocking to hear someone say "you wouldn't think these kind of games would be on a Nintendo console?" when the system has entire SERIES that have never been on any Nintendo platform. Literally, they are the only damn hardware company that has THIS many series MISSING from their systems.
The vast majority of what I told you can be found on PC, PS and XB, Nintendo is simply the odd man out on this one. This isn't even a subjective idea either, this is literally a objective fact....most series are not on Nintendo systems. Someone making that statement I feel is fair to say that.
We get Resident Evil on Nintendo systems, yet many SKIP them, ie RE5,6 and 7, where XB literally has more Resident Evil titles in terms of main series on it....look it up.
They have Fatal Frame
Zombi U.
......I mean thats about it lol Sad part is, they don't even have all of Fatal Frame or Resident Evil. So even the series they have, they don't even have all the titles or main titles. Like I stated, even XB has all the main RE titles... Its just not a system I recommend if someone likes horror games.
Obviously many games skip Nintendo consoles, but that still doesn't mean it doesn't get games like those time to time
"doesn't get games like those time to time"
Who said it didn't? My own post states they do and even gives examples
Its why I stated that in the first place, because I KNEW you'd try to turn this into a argument about the assumption of it having ZERO GAMES. Never said anything like never bud, simply that so many have skipped that platform that the comment someone might make about that is warranted completely.
Example, is Evil Within 2 coming to Switch?
Exactly.
Yet you wonder why someone might make that comment? Are you serious?
This is the ONLY hardware manufacturer in terms of gaming that legit has soooooo many missing series. Someone is correct to have that assumption as like I stated in ENGLISH in my post "many SKIP them" as you stated too "many games skip Nintendo consoles"
Soooo what are you arguing about? Facts? smh
I recall a Silent Hill knockoff that never released. Even the name was something similar. It actually looked pretty.
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition needs to be on the list if not number 1!
PROJECT ZERO 2: WII EDITION (If you've never played Fatal Frame 2....this is a good version to play next to the PS2 port on PS3 via PSN)
Dead Rising was also ported to the Wii but I'm not sure if that is a good version or not, but still a horror title.
Cursed mountain is awesome. When using controls, don't make large gestures. Use small flicks and it works perfectly. Great game.

There’s a polar vortex sweeping across the country, The Day After Tomorrow style, and unless you’re brave enough to risk instantly freezing as soon as you step outside — like those poor helicopter pilots, they will be missed — the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid. Since we’re in for a deep freeze, with most of the country already enduring ridiculously low temperatures, I thought I’d come up with a list of horror games we can all enjoy.
"the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid" lol
I haven't played Dead Space 3, I thought about renting it, but I didn't like DS2 very much, absolutely LOVED DS1, i've heard many times DS3 is even worser sequel
Starting a horror games list by mentioning Dead Space 3.. it's enough to make horror fans weep.
