12 Classic Wii Games That Nintendo Should Add to Switch Online
Nintendo could really make our day by launching a Wii channel on Switch Online and including these 12 classic games.
Nintendo has recently announced the inclusion of GameCube games in the Switch Online Expansion Pack, prompting speculation about other systems that could benefit from similar treatment. The Wii, with its diverse and popular library, stands out as a prime candidate for inclusion. While some titles like Excite Truck and Excitebots: Trick Racing have already received mention, there are several additional classics that would be welcome additions to the Switch Online library.
Dawn of Discovery, also known as Anno: Create a New World outside North America, is a city-building game that, while not as well-known as its PC counterpart, offers a compelling gameplay loop and portable adaptation. Little King's Story, a co-production between Cing and Town Factory, is an adventuring RPG with charming visuals and engaging gameplay.
Dog Island, a game from the wrestling-focused developer Yuke's, presents a unique canine-themed experience that is both adorable and challenging. Fortune Street, initially introduced to North American players through the Wii, offers a Monopoly-inspired board game with a twist, featuring familiar characters from Nintendo and Dragon Quest franchises.
The Last Story, developed by Mistwalker and known for its innovative combat and stirring music, is a lost opportunity for North America that would be appreciated by fans of the director, Hironobu Sakaguchi, known for his work on the Final Fantasy series. Muramasa: The Demon Blade, an action RPG exclusive to the Wii, showcases beautifully rendered fantasy worlds and innovative gameplay.
While its remastered version on the Vita exists, the Wii original deserves a spot on Switch Online for those who prefer the original experience.
