With the coming of September 22, three noteworthy platformers come to the Wii: Mega Man 9, Wario Land: Shake It!, and De Blob. All are titles that are worthy of at least a rent; with the limited library on the Wii, these game are fun enough to ensure some significant use on your Wii. They join Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy as undoubtibly, the best platformers on the Wii (not including the virtual counsel titles).

So my request of you is to rank them from best to worst. Opinions are obviously welcomed and will not be flamed by this threads posters.

P.S. I am not going to include any other platformers because they either were not that remarkable or are not released yet (Sonic Unleashed comes to mind).

Edit: If I were to rate them, it would be Super Mario Galaxy>Mega Man 9>De Blob>Wario Land:Shake it>Super Paper Mario.

Depends on what you're shooting for. Wario Land and de Blob are really on the same high pedestal, and both are entirely deserving of your money, but it really comes down to whether you want 2D or 3D. Make that decision, then get the corresponding game.

Mega Man 9 is going to be a muist-buy for you if you're a fan of the old-skool Mega Man games. If you've never played 1, 2, or 3, then I'd recommend trying one of those out first--they're cheaper and give you a good intro into the franchise. Base your decision on that.

In a ranking sense, it's probably Mario Galaxy > de Blob/Wario Land > Mega Man 9 > Super Paper Mario. Not to say that SPM is bad, it's simply the weakest of the bunch.

I go by my beleif (which is supported by my friends as well) that 2D and 3D may be different, but they are not different to the point that it is common to see someone who likes 1 but hates the other. You can like one more than the other most definitely, but it does not make that much sense to love one but hate the other. If this was the case on a wide scale, Sonic Adventure and Super Mario 64 wouldn't be NEARLY as well received by the fans as they are now.

Mega Man 9> Super Mario Galaxy> Shake it> de Blob> SPM.

I find it funny that, despite being a much lower-budgeted game, I found myself playing MM9 much more than any of these games.

If we let one ranking topic go, we have to let all ranking topics go.
