2007 Nintendo Wii Game of the Year
Again Nintendo has defied critics and found incredible success with Nintendo Wii, a console that still remains elusive for many consumers. This year finally saw release of long-awaited games (that were not simple collection of minigames). With its innovative control scheme that none of the other major consoles possess, some developers have struggled but others have shined to produce truly great software.
Runner-ups:
- Metroid Prime: Corruption
- Zak & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure
2007 Wii Game of the Year: Super Mario Galaxy
Brand new Mario adventure finally releases on Nintendo Wii with amazing results. Mario goes to space and defies gravity in what many have described a perfect Mario game. It isn’t as innovative as the first time you’ve played Mario 64, but it is the finest Nintendo game for a long time. Its blend of platforming and puzzle-solving ensure you’re constantly in new environments, giving into your sense of wonder and you’ll keep playing just to uncover what the next planet will bring. If you’re getting sick of all those minigames available on the Wii, this will surely cure your malaise.
