Best Wii games with classic controler only gameplay

[Helpful Tech Witch]

I really love the wii but sometimes I want to sit on my couch and play a game withoug pointing at my tv. Since I don't have anything but a wii, what are some wii games that are worth playing, but eork with classic and classic pro controlers?

Here's a list:

https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/List_of_Wii_games_compatible_with_Classic_Controller

 

From that list, the ones that stand out as being at least decent are Xenoblade Chronicles, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Kirby's Dream Collection, Sonic Colors, Sonic Unleashed, and anything from the virtual console.

 

Also both of the Super Mario Galaxy games, yes they use the wiimote and the nunchuk, but they can easily be played from the couch and imo are the best among all the games listed here.

Xenoblade Chronicles is outstanding. If you have a Wii you have probably already played New Super Mario Bros Wii, but if not, it's played mostly with the Wii-mote held sideways like a two button NES controller. You'll have to shake it use your propeller hat and sometimes you'll tilt the Wii-mote to move a platform, but it's not the kind of game you'll be pointing your controller at the screen constantly for. Honestly, best would be just hacking the system and playing Gamecube games with the classic controller as well as some N64 Classics like Mario 64 and the two N64 Zeldas with official emulation.
