Mario Kart Wii (Wii, 2008)
This game was so damn popular! It sold 37 million copies! And you’d think, from the size of it to the funky motion controls, that it’d be higher up on this list. But again, like Super Circuit, Wii gets a little lost in the passage of time, as there’s very little reason to play this when Mario Kart 7, and then 8, came along and did everything it did but so much better.
Not helping it here is that, despite the game being perfectly positioned to cash in on the Wii’s motion control hype with its iconic plastic steering wheel, the game’s motion controls—the one defining feature of the game that anyone remembers—were actually straight garbage.
