No More Heroes!

Just picked up No More Heroes for Wii.
Amazing game. I highly recommend it!
Very satisfying swordplay and wrestling mechanics. It is not 1:1 mapping or anything (you get prompts to swing the wiimote certain directions for deathblows) but the prompts are frequent and feel very satisfying with the resulting rumble and Kill Bill-esque fountains of blood.
Wrestling moves are also satisfying. If an enemy is stunned, for example, you can do a suplex by lifting up on the wiimote and the nunchuck at the same time (doing it too hard means whapping yourself in the face with the nunchuck's cord, but it is still fun).
The style is also really cool. It mixes up design from every generation of video games. It has elements of a 1980s Arcade game, purposefully simple level design in parts, Metal Gear solid-style over the top bosses, GTA3 free roaming aspects, ability to find videos in the game and watch them in your house, great controls, and very entertaining internal monologue from the main character.
Anyway, the first hour may be the most fun I have had with a single player Wii game. If it sounds at all interesting to you pick it up!
