All release-dates are based off the Europeian releases.
Initially when I got myself a Wii around 2009, I went for the top-selling games with good reviews. At that time the Wii had been around long enough to get quite a few good titles, so I had plenty of "must have"s to choose from. Eventually I figured that at one point, I had two games from each year the Wii had been in production, and since I'm quite bond to systematical thinking, I just decided to keep it that way.
Then came 2010, with several promising titles. I made a quick decission, and decided to expand to two games from each year. I already had a complete set of potential 2nd choice games from the earlier years, so this was no problem. Eventually I decided to trade in Metroid, other M for Donkey Kong Country Returns, for various reasons.
Recently I decided to expand to three titles from each year, which I have concluded to be a final choice. The reason for this is actually due to the viral "Operation Rainfall", which drew my interest to especially Xenoblade. I had already decided on the two games from this year, where there was no room for a third one. Because of this, I added the curious third choice, which consists of games that aren't nessecarely amazingly good, but rather obscure and/or interesting games of at least decent quality.
A note on the selection of games. I have tried to make my library of games quite varied and evenly distributed among the genres, except for 1st Person Shooters and Hack'n Slash games because I simply don't like those genres. Because of this, I am problably not going to buy the upcoming Kirby game as I already have a bunch of 2D platformers. I didn't buy the Wario-land Wii game for the 3rd choice either for the very same reason. I also considered at one point to buy Paper-Mario, but I figured it was too-much a step backwards from the Paper-Mario I know from the N64 and GameCube.
1st choice:
2006: The legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess
2007: Super Mario Galaxy
2008: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
2009: Wii Sports Resort
2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2
2011: (upcoming title) The legend of Zelda, Skyward Sword
2nd choice:
2006: Wii Sports
2007: Metroid Prime 3, Corruption
2008: Mario Kart Wii
2009: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns
2011: Kirby's Epic Yarn
Curiosity 3rd choice:
2006: Gottlieb Pinball Classics (AKA: Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection)
2007: WarioWare, Smooth Moves
2008: Worms, a Space Oddity
2009: Line Rider Freestyle (AKA: Line Rider 2 Unbound)
2010: Disney's Epic Mickey
2011: (upcoming title) Xenoblade Chronicles
(PS: Allthough the Pinball and Linerider games are only decent at best, I only payed a bargain for them. Generally the rest of the third choice games, except for the upcoming Xenoblade game, was bought quite cheap on Ebay.co.uk. For all 5 of them, including shipping; I spent about the same amount I would spend on one top-class new game here in Norway.)
