Can we talk about Nintendo Wii?

For the money conscious like me... You can buy wireless game controllers, along with/instead of extra WII remotes, they sell them for $15-16 at Target, (each WII remote is $40 and the nunchuk is $17-18) it can be used to play WII and Gamecube games, so if you have an old Gamecube, save the games!
My son is 6, going on 7 and he loves any Sonic, or Mario game. Everyone already mentioned a lot of great games.
One not mentioned, and that is educational is Big Brain Academy, that's fun for the whole family, too.
I also have to say that I was disappointed by the WII version of DDR.

I agree with everyone about Mario Kart. It's great and everyone in my family enjoys it. Honestly, we play Wii Sports (the one that came with the system) more than anything else. LOL Guitar Hero is great, Ravin Rabbids is HILARIOUS and really fun. There's this Zombie movie game on it that I just love. Wii Fit is also fun and even my 5 year old can participate in the fun. Mostly though, I recommend renting games from a local video store. A lot of the games made for Wii get pretty boring fast. I've found that renting is a great way to see if I really like a game before shelling out $50-60 for it. =)

Audrey--if you want something for yourself, something I'm LOVING (for exercise) is EA Sports Active. I'm super bored of the wii fit, and utterly hate how you have to click in on the different activities.

BUT this new EA Active game has a crap ton of preset workouts, and a 30 day challenge that moves from one exercise activity to the next. My legs were KILLING me the day after I started the 30 day challenge---Lunges and squats so had me!

I LOVE it!!

My boyfriend bought Nintendo Wii for his brother last christmas (yes, we are all adults

)

Now I know as well what a nunchuk and a remote is

I personally love playing Wii Sports - Bowling and Golfing but also Wii Fit.

I will take a look which other games the two have bought meanwhile and let you know!

I love mario party, its alot of fun when you have 2 or more players. Also mario kart, paper mario, super mario galaxy(haha I guess I just love all the mario games...) and wario world. Also guitar hero. Oh and I was babysitting and we played some sport game but not the one that comes with the wii...I will check on a name. It was so fun though it was like ice skating, snowboarding, etc.

I have my brothers wii, which really doesn't sound good... especially when you say "I have my brothers wii in the closet".

I use it mostly with the wii fit board but we have some old school games like donkey kong country, diddy kong country, a couple of mario games. I like mario galaxy but have go to a stage where I don't know what to do so I have given up lol.

I want animal cross and the new wii fit plus.

Love the Wii. Two of the new must-have games: Just Dance, and Super Mario Bros Wii.

Just Dance is incredibly fun and you get a good workout as well. 4-player dancing fun..

I know people who bought the Wii just because they loved this game so much.

Super Mario Bros Wii. Classic Mario + 4 players playing all at once = FUN. Really one of the best games i've played, easily comes out as my favorite Wii game so far. The multiplayer aspect really makes the game.

^^^Thanks, I have to keep theses games in mind.

I brought the WII for myself over a month ago and it's still sitting in the box. I thought it would be a great addition for game night.

OMG I suck at the new super mario brothers game... I just die all the time and when I play multiple player my brothers aim is to kill me, that's all he does.

I love my Wii. I got one for Christmas and play all the time. I have the Super Mario Bros game and it took me forever to get to the second level, I never really played video games growing too much. I also have the Wii Fit which is THE best!! Great workout and fun at the same time.

I want the Super Mario's One.

I'm with ya'll on that Mario Party is so much more fun with 4 players than just 1 or 2. I thought it was lame but with my gal pals its hilarious of course that's because THEY are hilarious. And maybe because they get jokingly mad at me for winning 80% of the minigames. All in good fun, I still don't usually win overall sadly enough lol.

We play a lot of wii sports resort too, I don't own that game but I love the single player sword fighting, I am a passive person but that gets me violent. I have played it until my arm hurt before :-D
