I'm starting this topic to see what people think are good niche titles to own on the Nintendo Wii.

Some i enjoy are blastworks, muramasa and a boy and his blob.

What do you guys think of Opoona and Eledees? Worthy purchases?

I really liked NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, but I don't really see much praise for it anywhere. On the flipside, I haven't seen very much criticism at all for NiGHTS Into Dreams... on the Saturn.

De Blob is also quite good. It involves you painting a town different colors and it's surprisingly addictive; it's an often-overlooked gem.

I enjoyed the one, and I'd say it's definatly worth the $10-20 you'd pay for it nowadays... you just have to get past the AWFUL parts in which you play as the children...

For another one... I'd say Red Steel 2 is a very under-appreciated game. While I can't deny that the PS Move is superior to anything the Wii can do, the Wii Remote with the Wii Motion Plus is still very impressive and is relatively close to what the Move can do in several areas. This game is a perfect example of how the Wii Motion Plus with the Wiimote and Nunchuck can provide a satisfying core-gamer experience. Awesome pointer controls for shooting and 1:1 Swordplay.

1:1 swordplay in an action game. The thing EVERYONE has been wanting since the Wii's motion controls were announced, really.

I'll also mention Dead Space Extraction as an AWESOME on-rails shooter.

The Klonoa remake is definetely a must buy for anyone who enjoys 2D platformers. I mean, it's only $20 ($12 used at GameStop)!
Can we please fix the quoting system? Pretty please?

Captain Rainbow is a really good import title for the Wii
What you do is you go around helping d-list Nintendo characters like Little Mac in their daily problems. A really neat title but only in Japan.

Is it an Import friendly game? I was thinking about picking it up if it's playable for someone who doesn't speak the language :)
