Yeah Donkey Kong returns is really neat
Murumasa. The art is gorgeous but whether or not you like it depends on the person's taste. I found it a bit repetitive and im not a big fan of that kind of genre but its always a neat pickup.
Elebits. Its a really cute game where you try to find these tiny little electric things to restore the power. Basically you go around different places looking for these. The voice acting is ear-wrenching but there is about 5 minutes of it total in the game. The controls can be a little wonky sometimes as well. But if you can get it cheap, i would try to pick it up.
Boom Blocks. Its like a puzzle game where you knock down blocks. Again if you can get it cheap then definitely try it.
Im a big fan of mario kart but yeah the items in this one weren't the best thing. The stages were cool and difficult and out of the wii games online this is the best it gets but you are going to have to get past the items. There is an imbalance of blue shell madness and other annoying items. I really wish they would get rid of a lot of them. The only thing you really need are shells, bananas, blocks, and maybe mushrooms and stars. The original items were the best.

I used to play Mario Kart Wii at my mates all the time since you could have splitscreen and go online, and to be fair I REALLY enjoyed it, so I think I'll definitely be picking it up, if anything it's my favourite Mario Kart, or maybe on par with Double Dash which was also amazing, lol.
Okay so this is a list of games I'll be buying for sure, unless ofcourse I can't find them anywhere, which I doubt since they all seem to be popular...
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mario Kart Wii
Monster Hunter Tri
Madworld (I've already bought this, it's right here with me on the desk still in its wrapper)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Sonic Colours
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
If anyone would like to recommend games based on this list please do so.

I'm not bothered in the slightest for Kirby or House of The Dead, those two series really don't interest me and never have, except for House of the Dead 4 (The one at the arcades with shotguns, right?)
I've taken a look at Zack and Wiki actually, it looks like it could be fun, but maybe I'll buy it sometime... and as for Rune Factory Frontier, I've never really looked at it, I've played one Rune Factory game on the DS, can't remember what it was called but it was pretty good so I might check this out.

From when I played it, I can tell you that I didn't really enjoy Monster Hunter Tri... I was probably expecting too much, but it's kind of an unworthy sequel to the previous MHs.
As far as Mario Kart Wii goes, I think it's actually the best title in the series. I know you SNES minions will stamp down on me, but yeah... MKW is more fun to me... by a lot... and it's got an amazing online mode.
As far as Smash Bros goes, I was enjoying Melee a bit more than Brawl, seeing how it had more unintended techniques you could abuse. Brawl definately is a monster of a game, and a ridiculously fun multiplayer game, though.
The Mario Galaxy's are great, while I thought the second one couldn't quite keep up with the first. Amazing games, though, with lots of fresh ideas.
Definately Metroid Other M, as well as the Trilogy. Opinions regarding Other M are rather split, so I wouldn't give a 100% guarantee that you like it... if you're a fan of the old titles like Super Metroid, though, you should find a game you like.
So much for that, now for the underground titles noone ever mentions...
Disaster: Day Of Crisis is a rather different point-and-shoot game with a lot of interesting game design catches. It's got a certain humoristic aspect to it, and while it seems to take itself quite seriously, you shouldn't
It's got lots of unlockables, too, so if you're a greedy mofo like me, it offers quite some replay value... I played it for a good 30 hours in total.
It's the successor of SOS, a Playstation 2 game, if you played that.
Then of course, No More Heroes. It's certainly not everyone's taste, but personally I think it's one of the most amazing games released on the Wii. Be sure to check it out, but don't buy it blindly.
Then there is Sin And Punishment 2, which I have unopened on my desk, unfortunately (we're doing construction work at my house atm). If it's anywhere near the quality of the first (which is available through Virtual Console), it's a definate must-have for your list.
And while I don't get how noone could've mentioned it yet: Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. It's simply the most amazing game on the Wii to date, and there's no way I'll let you miss it. I got about 200+ hours on it.
Gotta warn you before the fact, though: It says multiplayer, but those games are essentially fugly and not worth it. Play by yourself, and you'll have fun!

I should've mentioned that I ended up buying the Wii lol, n the 9th and haven't even played on it yet, well, I plugged it in, turned it on to see if it worked, then turned it off, lol.
The games I have are:
MadWorld
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Mario Kart Wii
Monster Hunter Tri
Turns out they were actually cheaper instore brand new than they were online which is pretty cool because the Spring Sales started and all of the games (Aside from MadWorld because I had it already) were under £10 each, lol.
They're all sat on the shelf in their wrapping, the Wii is above me next to my 360 and PS3, but I don't want to start playing on it until I've finished some games first, I hate starting games and not finishing them, got about a dozen to finish before I can play on it, lol.

Also besides WarioWare : Smooth Moves. Try Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for multiplayer fun. It might seem a bit silly and the controls sometimes unresponsive; but hell is it fun with friends! :D
If you like the Tales of RPG series, you can try out Tales Of Symphonia : Dawn of The New World. Although a lot of people hate it cause it's not as good as the original ToS, I found it very enjoyable. So much so, I've played through it 3 times.
I don't know if on rails shooter is your kinda thing, but the two Resident Evil on rails shooter. I'm not a big fan of on rails shooter, but The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles were super fun to me. Definitely check it out. I prefer the first one though (The Umbrella Chronicles).
For fighting games, you should check out Tatsunoko VS Capcom. Although it's not as complex as MvC or other fighters, it has pretty cool characters.
Oh and I know many people disagree.. but I found Mario Strikers Charged fun :x
