The Wii gets a hard time for appealing to a new breed of gamers. For many people Nintendo's desire to appeal to this new 'casual' market has resulted in a console devoid of proper games - the kind of games Nintendo made during the '90s. In order to ease the pain felt by many disgruntled long-time Nintendo fans, we've put together the Top 10: Wii Games made for Gamers. It's a list full of quality, with the majority only being available on Nintendo's latest console. Time to dust off those Wii Remotes and go hardcore.

10. Battalion Wars 2

Kuju's second game in the series builds successfully on the GameCube original. With some of the most impressive visuals seen on the Wii, intuitive controls, large-scale battles and an awful lot of action, there's really nothing else on the console that compares. A relatively disappointing two-player mode and an ability to employ brute force over tactics prevent BWII from being a classic, but it's a game that every gamer should consider picking up for their Wii.

9. No More Heroes

Probably the most adult game on the Wii, No More Heroes is a hardcore gamer's wet dream. Criminally the excessive blood seen in Japanese and US versions has been removed from the European version, but the swearing, sexual references and continual nods to hardcore and retro gaming remain. It blows hot and cold, with excellent hack and slash style combat juxtaposed with boring open world sections, but No More Heroes is still the Wii game that all the cool kids should own.

8. PES 2008: Pro Evolution Soccer

Football is a game for everyone, but PES 2008 on the Wii isn't. Despite Ian Wright and Michael Owen's couch antics on TV, the controls are massively complicated at first, requiring a degree of hand eye coordination usually reserved for hardcore Japanese shmups. It gets easier as you start to familiarise yourself with pulling and dragging players with the Wii Remote, and creating runs for everyone on the pitch, but at the end of the day, this is more RTS than traditional virtual football. It's still great, mind.

7. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

The point and click adventure game is one sadly out of time with today's gaming landscape, but that hasn't stopped Capcom from taking a punt on the genre with this excellent nod to yesteryear. Featuring barmy Japanese sounds and characters, Zack & Wiki's got some wonderfully memorable point and click puzzles that will tax anyone who busted open Monkey Island and Sam & Max back in the day. Get if you used to have an Amiga 1200. Get if you didn't.
