From my own experience, essential games are:
Super Mario Galaxy
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
Zelda - Twighlight Princess
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Mario Kart Wii - you can use the Gamecube controller for best times so do not need the wheel.
Also worth a look if you see them cheap:
Animal Crossing
Okami
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Wii Play (v good pool game included)
Avoid buying:
Bust-A-Move Wii
Super Paper Mario is supposed to be good but I have never tried it.
Also, if you never had a Game Cube it is worth picking up some GC games for v little money, e.g. Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil, Prince Of Persia, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, etc
