Wii had a very rough year with just a few console exclusives. With the Wii U out now, this may be the last year we see Wii with its own award category. The few games that were out for the Wii only were pretty strong, but I think the winner is obvious.

Xenoblade Chronicles

When a company breaks JRPG cliches and formulas you will get every RPG fan’s attention. Xenoblade has an awesome combat system, great characters, and story, plus it looks great. We need more JRPG developers following Xenoblade’s footsteps. This is by far one of the best Wii games this year, and best on the console, period.
