Wii for Christmas - Game Suggestions

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm getting my kids (10 and 7) a Wii for christmas. Any suggestions on which games I should get them? I know for certain I will be getting Pokemon for my son, because he can port his characters over from his DS version. What else should I look at?

Wii Sports comes with the console, so there's one game. My other suggestions would be Super Mario Galaxy. It's a very simple and fun platform game that almost anyone can play. I'd also suggest Guitar Hero 3. That game has huge appeal. As far as some other games that I enjoy, I'd say get Excitetruck. It's very easy to learn and play so I think your kids would enjoy it.
i thought wii sports was the best game.

it comes with the wii i think,

 

mabey Zelda twilight princess

From what I've read the only games worth getting are the Sports, and Mario party.

 

The Wii is more of a place where more than one person can have fun.

 

I've been reading articles saying that Wii game sales are horrible. People don't buy Wii's for their game selection, they buy them because of the "Wii would like to play" and other commercials that show families and or groups of people playing having fun "together."

 

I believe this is why demand for the Wii is so high and the game sales are so low.

 

So stick with the ones that you play with your kids, or that they can play with other kids. Save the dedicated gaming for the big boy consoles or the PC.

 

I was looking to get a Wii, but not because I expect to be blown away visuals, physics, or game play, but for the atmosphere I would hope it might foster. The atmosphere presented in those commercials. You know I want some thing that I can do with my wife, and niece and nephew. DDR rocks for that.

^ The Wii's slowly been gaining more good single player titles, of course it still has plenty of good party games.

 

 

Mario Galaxy is a must for it :) .
