    Hey everyone, new to the forums and site :D. What are some of your favorite Wii games that in you would consider Golden Gems? 
    For me, Opoona was a game that took me by surprise and is now one of my top 5 games on the Wii.

    Ignoring all the major titles(like Nintendo titles)...
    Spectrobes Origins is pretty good. Playing it now and a few hours in. Feels like what you'd expect from a PS2-era (which is an era I prefer) JRPG.
    Rune Factory Frontier is a major time vacuum. I have over 100 hours on that. Very grindy though.
    And I really like Dawn of Discovery. I've always liked city sim games, but they usually are too hard/complicated for me. So the wii version of Dawn of Discovery feels just right.

    Yeah i have Spectrobes origins and that game is pretty damn fun. I just picked up Arc Rise Fantasia and i have to say the game is awesome minus the voice acting of course :P

    To tell you the truth, I spent more time creating stuff in Blast Works than actually playing any of the games.

    Deadly Creatures was great, along with Icarian: Kindred Spirits (Nyxquest).

    Mario Strikers Charged. It is the exception to the Mario sports/party rule. This game is a blast to play with friends, nearly as much so as Brawl.  
    @ryanwho: No, but you could coat one with gold. I would describe that as a gold gem.

    I like the Wii but I don't have anything on it I would describe as a "golden gem" how popular was Fragile Moon? I liked that game.

    Muramasa the demon blade
     
    That game is awesome, couldn't stop playing it, I still pop it in occasionally, one day I'll make a serious push and try to complete it in the hardest setting, which is pretty much impossible because 1 hit will kill you heh. 
     
    The game is really compelling because of the beautiful art, amazing music, the great combat, engaging story and the fact that you are always unlocking a new more powerful blade, really fantastic game, anyone with a wii should get it.
     
    I also played a lot of MH3, great game, I was really addicted to it for like 2 months, online play is quite good.
     
    The other game I really enjoyed on the system was Resident Evil 4, I hadn't played it before I got it for my wii, because I was a PC gamer for a long time, I had a genesis when I was a kid but that was it, so I totally missed pretty much all RE gamest, then PC gaming got too expensive and I said eff it and got a PS3 and wii.
     
    And of course all other no brainers like the metroid prime series and Zelda TP, the wii has some pretty good hardcore games, unfortunately they're not many.

    To this day, I would buy a Wii for the soul reason of dumping another few hundred hours into Brawl. Then again, I no longer live in a dorm where competition is abundant.

    There's the No More Heroes series; I definitely got love for them.  Punch-Out!! is a great game.  Excitebike:  World Rally was a fun little WiiWare title, I put a lot of hours into the online multiplayer. 
     
    I still think my favorite Wii game is Dragon Ball Z:  Budokai Tenkaichi 3.  I've put a couple hundred hours into it and still play it sometimes;  I think it's the best DBZ fighting game made.

    Dawn of Discovery and Endless Ocean: Blue World were really great games. Super Swing Golf Season 2 was awesome as well.
