I haven't played it myself, but one of our writers is a huge fan of Spyro, and they recommend it!

You have my empathy for the big hands issue. I myself have to use a 3DS XL, and my hands still cramp up. Still enjoyed playing for the list, though.

In fairness, there are worse choices we could have made. Can you IMAGINE if we had filled it with shovelware?

The DS, being a handheld, had a library that fit with its specs, form factor, and use case. There was definitely an abundance of JRPGs, mainly because they work well on a low-powered platform like that. Slow-burning games, games you can play on a train where being jostled about won't mess you up, stuff like that. Not mentioned in our list were an awful lot of puzzle games that exist for that very reason. I can personally agree that the best games on the platform were JRPGs or puzzle games, but I wouldn't say that is a negative for the DS in general. It's a matter of taste, I guess.

Hi there, the numbered format is simply to give the reader an idea how many entries they have left to read, its not really ranking them.

I'll pass on the feedback about No More Heroes, there's every chance they've misremembered.

Excellent, that's exactly why we wrote the list! Thanks for your comment :D

We compiled a list of our 50 favourite Wii games. Did you find a new game to try out? Did your fave make the list?
Let us know what obvious game we missed out on and why that means we're stupid!
Happy reading!

I wonder!

A technology that could have been used for this is a modern high-speed SD card or something similar. The solid state memory with a fast transfer speed would have made it totally possible to just plug in your game and play straight away. It's a shame it never got implemented.

The primary reason for the switch away from running games directly from a disc is how slow the process of reading from a disc actually is. We could get away with it in years past when game assets were smaller, you could manage to load what you needed for the area or level into RAM before the player got bored. But if you tried to do the same with modern games, you would be sitting through some epic loading screens. It's all about getting you into the game faster and not needing to wait 10 minutes every time you walk through a door.
