Mario Galaxy - It's a platformer gamer's game, no easy ride if you don't like solving platform puzzles, comes with very polished new controls and many original concepts
Super smash bros. Brawl - not as fast as Melee but certainly an excellent game with tons of content
Star Wars: the Force Unleashed - graphics are ass, controls feel empowering,I prefer it over the ps3/xbox 360 version actually due to this
WarioWare - if you have friends, good for getting chicks to play too
Super Paper Mario - Platform+puzzle+rpg
Zak and Wiki - very clever
No More Heroes (number 2 should be hitting next year)
Excite Truck - (way better than mariokart imo)
plus quite a few more i can't recall now and don't forget GameCube games! The GameCube, retrospectively, has had a more than decent library of good to excellent games.

Paper Mario = Yawn City! One of the few games I had to force myself to complete
Mario Kart Wii = Piss poor effort that should have been like the Namco made arcade games.
Sorry but that's my honest opinion.

Mario Galaxy = couldn't get in to it at all.

Ha? Sure, Super Mario Galaxy is not SM64 but it still is a great game. Super Paper Mario is different but well made in my opinion and Mario Kart is not bad either (only played that at the store though).

Galaxy is the only game I've really liked and don't regret buying. Mario Kart Wii is a joke. I'd much rather play it on the 64 or DS. If you have a competitive bone in your body, you probably won't like Brawl. SSB and SSBM are far superior imo. Twilight Princess I bought for the GC. The only game I really want to play at the moment on the Wii is Capcom Vs Tatsunoko because I love fighting games and it just looks plain awesome!

...You want a top 5 list, hmmm, I gave up, couldn't list more than 1, sorry, lol, and that would be 'Wii sports' definately the best game on the Wii for the first 5 minutes.

Please tell me you didn't like Twilight Princess...Man I gave that game up halfway through. Total yawnfest, but it's fun at some parts.

I mostly use my Wii to play GameCube games. Mainly the Metroids, Resident Evils and all the Zeldas.
Mario Galaxy has been put away as I no longer have the co-ordination of an 8 year old; I simply can't get the last two stars. My son is the only one who plays on Mario Kart. He's 4 1/2 and gets on pretty well tbh. I can't beat the last two cups on 150cc and I was close to smashing the crap out of things. Honestly, the frustration caused by Mario Kart, I really don't know why I do it to myself.

I like the one where you find a nice high wall and see who can get the highest. Oh wait, you said Wii - my bad! :110:
As I've said before, for me it's all about the party games and having a laugh with your mates. Let's see...
Twilight Princess - got to love a bit of Zelda. Great single player game.
Mario Kart - the original and 64 were better, but this is still great fun with mates or even online
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games - another good party game. This one was in such demand, we had a waiting list for months and a nationwide shortage!
Rayman Raving Rabbids - crazy fun with friends, had us in stitches!
Eledees - good fun with friends, but may get a bit old too quickly.
I know there are some obvious choices in there, but I tried to mix it up a little. There are some good games on the system. Others worth looking at include Resident Evil, Mario Party 8 (but you really need 4 people), Samba de Amigo, MySims is good if you like Sims games. Oh, and Wii Fit is both good as a tool to help you exercise and keep a check on how you're doing, but also can be quite a fun party game if you're into laughing at your friends lying on the floor in odd positions! Of course, I tried it out at my friend's daughter's 16th birthday party. It was fun, but there comes a point when you realize that you're the weird creepy guy sitting in the corner drinking beer and watching 16 year old girls in odd positions
Must admit the E3 prototype looked good, though:

HOTD is complete bullshit as far as I am concerned and the Wii's seeming lack of a proper gun peripheral is just a joke. Why would anyone want to play Ghost Squad or House of The Dead with a fucking pointer????? Does anyone know if Umbrella Chronicles works any differently?
