The moment you've all been waiting for! Even if you had no clue it was coming, subconsciously you were waiting for this. 2006, a good year for gaming? Certainly.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
You know it, I know it, Kaz Hirai's giant crab knows it. Anything else would be a lie. Clearly the result of years of work by the industry's most talented, Zelda TP is crammed with ~40 hours worth of enjoyable gameplay. It has everything, great control mechanics, deep storyline and well developed, likable characters. If ever a game was worth MORE than the retail price, this is it. Truly an epic, and not only the best Wii game of 2006, the best game ever, across any platform.
An honorable mention should go to Wii Sports for showing off motion sensitivity and attracting people who would otherwise be ignorant to the joys of gaming.
Nintendo Gamecube
The next generation is with us, so we say a fond farewell to the GameCube. Don't throw out those expertly crafted controllers yet though, Wii is backward compatible.
If you missed out on any Gamecube classics, you can probably pick them up cheap now. Some worthy of a mention: Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Monkey Ball, Killer 7, Zelda: Wind Waker, Pikmin, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Starfox Adventures, Ikaruga, F-Zero GX, James Bond 007: NightFire, Super Mario Sunshine, TimeSplitters 2, Luigi's Mansion, SSX Tricky, Swingerz Golf (aka Ace Golf).
