We already published the list of best Wii games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best Wii casual games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the Wii definitely has a great library of casual games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the Wii and casual games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#25. Wii Party
- Release Data: Nd Cube/Nintendo, 2010
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
The library of Wii minigame collections is oversaturated for sure, but don’t let that stop you from checking out this entry from Nintendo.
Few games pack in so much variety and charm while remaining accessible and, most importantly, fun.
If you own a Wii but don’t have a party game, Wii Party is a title you’ll want to have.
#24. Super Mario All-Stars: 25th Anniversary Edition
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2010
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
The value of the game lies in whether you want to invest once more in these classic Mario titles.
The special features are minimal, and the game is exactly as you remember it from the 90s.
These may be some of the greatest games ever made, but only get this if you never played them before.
#23. Let’s TAP
- Release Data: Prope/Sega, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
It’s an interesting collection of games, and while it would benefit from more variety and a more solid rhythm mode, it’s generally fun to tap along to, especially with friends.
No, it’s not a game that’s going to keep you playing for hours at a time but it’s been expertly designed for occasional casual multiplayer sessions.
#22. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
- Release Data: Sega, 2006
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz serves as a great proof of concept, making some great, varied use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
The length of the single-player game and the inconsistent quality of the multiplayer minigames are regretful, but the highs are high enough to make this one of the most highly recommended Wii party games.
#21. SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1
- Release Data: SNK Playmore, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 is a solid collection that features some fantastic Neo Geo titles as well as some mediocre ones.
Ultimately, the good outweighs the bad, and the value is undeniable.
Assuming you’re interested in at least four or five of the included games you could certainly do a lot worse.
#20. The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga
- Release Data: SNK Playmore, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
It’s not the best compilation of fighters in existence, but it’s worth checking out if you have any interest in the genre.
This port of various SNK titles comes over intact to the Wii and plays fine, but you’ll definitely want to use a Classic Controller, since the Wiimote or Nunchuk setup is an absolute chore to use.
#19. Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party
- Release Data: Ubisoft Paris/Ubisoft, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
This title can be easily recommended to any fan of the series, or to anyone who enjoys playing fun minigames, alone or with friends.
It’s cute, funny, clever, and the controls are all very responsive and tight for a collection like this with so many different games to build.
So, if you’re interested in some lighthearted minigame fun, go get this.
#18. Metal Slug Anthology
- Release Data: Terminal Reality/SNK Playmore, 2006
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
The challenge represented by these titles is immense and if you’re willing to invest the necessary time and effort they will reward you in ways that more technically advanced titles could never manage.
Metal Slug Anthology may not play to the strengths of Nintendo’s console, but that doesn’t stop it from being a highly recommended title.
#17. Mario Party 9
- Release Data: Nd Cube/Nintendo, 2012
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Mario Party 9 is a resounding success on so many levels, adding plenty of extra variety to differentiate itself from previous entries, whilst also learning important lessons from the limited-yet-fun Wii Party.
In short, Nintendo has delivered a party title that will appeal to veterans and newcomers alike.
#16. Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner
- Release Data: Telltale Games, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Strong Bad’s first videogame adventure proves to be the perfect game for not only long-term fans of the online web episodes of Homestar Runner, but gamers that enjoy a weird sense of humor and zany puzzles in small doses.
A strong core gameplay mechanic mixed with an engaging and amusing script makes this title a very decent gaming experience.
#15. Order Up!
- Release Data: SuperVillain Studios/Zoo Games, 2008
- Genre: Casual » General
As a whole, Order Up! provides a wonderful blend of both managing and cooking.
The charming nature of the game makes it a great choice for people of all ages, and the more complicated strategy elements provide for a more engaging experience than Diner Dash and Cooking Mama can provide on their own.
#14. Rayman Raving Rabbids
- Release Data: Ubisoft Montpellier/Ubisoft, 2006
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Rayman Raving Rabbids succeeds because it finds creative and very funny ways to make the Wii’s motion-sensing technology work for it.

- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Overall, Guilty Party is an impressive party game.
A lot of effort was put into creating an experience where both young and older players could join together and not feel alienated by the concept.
The ingenuity behind the cases mixed with the ability to play every part of the game with four players make Guilty Party a title worth playing.
#11. Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free
- Release Data: Telltale Games, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Strong Badia the Free is a title that is really hard to recommend to anyone who played the first one and didn’t enjoy it.
