Little King's Story
The Wii is not exactly the destination for strategy gamers and Little King's Story certainly doesn't look like a regular hardcore strategy title. However, under its cute and cartoony veneer it will surprise you. Offering a challenging adventure with deep and intriguing gameplay, Little King's Story is sure to pull you back in almost the moment you have put away the controller.

Punch Out!
The original Punch Out! was a hit for its memorable characters as well as the unique strategies that players would need to pull off in order to secure a win. This remake of the fantastic arcade boxing title is exactly the same with graphics match the great gameplay of the original. Throw in a couple of new characters, a goofy (but fun) multiplayer mode and support for motion controls and you have a winner. Punch Out! shows that sometimes a new coat of paint works just as good, if not better than reinventing the wheel.

Runners-Up
The House of the Dead: Overkill
Throngs of undead are in dire need of killing. Well, they're not, but it is kill or be killed so better gear up, there is work to be done!
MadWorld
White, black, red. Don't let this game's graphics put you off as there is a wonderfully unique experience to be had here.
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Hack & Slash galore in The Demon Blade. There is always a better sword to be found and another boos to be killed. Action-packed fun awaits.
World of Goo
Weird, in a goo… good way. Odd humor and wonderfully deep gameplay could not prevent this one to fall from the top 5 Wii games, but it was close.
