Unlike PS3/Xbox 360 games that crammed 8GB of uncompressed audio and CGI cutscenes, Wii exclusives relied on real-time rendering and MIDI-like audio streams.
These are great Wii games under 500MB, but they are not exclusive. We include them as honorable mentions:
Technically, this game brushes against the 500MB ceiling, but it earns its spot due to its exclusivity of control. While Heavy Fire titles appeared on PS3 and 360, the Wii version of Special Operations is a distinct, light-gun-style rail shooter designed specifically for the Wii Zapper.
At 487MB, it uses compressed, gritty textures to deliver a surprisingly lengthy campaign across Afghanistan-style terrain. Unlike the HD versions which used analog sticks, the Wii version offers 1:1 aiming. It is the closest thing to Time Crisis on the system without licensing fees. For fans of the genre, this small file is a perfect "pick up and play" arcade experience that the PlayStation Move never quite replicated.
