My 7 year old just got a Wii for christmas and while we have enjoyed Mario Cart is there any other games on it worth playing. I used to have the original Xbox and enjoyed Madden Football and Shooter games like the Ghost Recon games. Anything good like that worth playing on Wii? I know I have seen football games but how do they play on the Wii? Thanks
If you are a fan of star wars, and indiana jones the lego games are good. My son plays those non-stop. They basically follow the movie, and you have to solve or complete the different movies.
Also the mario/sonic olympic games along with the resort game are fun.
Goldeneye new super Mario bros wii super Mario galaxy 2 smash bros . Best thing to do is go to metacritic and look at the highest rated wii games.
We have really enjoyed "sports resort".
Many of the games we have are really similar to what you might play on a standard console in that you can sit on your butt. The sports games encourage the player to get up and move.
Even the basic wii sports disc that comes with the console is pretty good.
I got Wii Fit Plus because I wanted the balance board, but my son really likes doing the exercises on there as well.
Interesting story:
We had left for a few days over the new year for a family ski get away. While we were gone, we decided to hide the Wii in the oven (our house was burglarized last time we went on vacation, so we wanted to hide anything that would be easily stolen).
On the night we came home, my wife decided that garlic bread would be a nice side dish for our dinner and set the oven to broil..... Long story short, our remotes are completely melted and so our our RCA cables. The console is partially melted, but we were able to turn it on and eject the disc that was in there. We'll have to try it out to see if it still works.
I think I might be the only guy in America with a broiled Wii.
Your melted Wii is a sign. Heed it. Get rid of the damn machine and take your butts outside for some real exercise.
From my experience the sports games, along with most of the games, are pretty terrible. Get an N64 it's so much better.

Ha Ha, that is funny. My wife and I are both quite fit. We exercise at least once a day. My son is far more active than all his friends. He wears them out swimming, biking, playing baseball, climbing trees, etc...
We like the Wii (along with other more traditional board games) for family time. Also, it gets crazy hot here in the summer and my son likes to play some of the Wii games when it is too hot to go outside and be super active.
Get Resident Evil 4. The game is a little old, so you can pick it up at one of those used video game stores for under $20. It is one of the best games I have ever played.
We have a game that is great for groups or parties called "Boom Blox". It's a puzzle-like game in which you get to throw objects at towers and try to knock them down. Very kid-friendly but it's also sooooo much fun for adult sibling rivalries.
I haven't played it yet but I have heard amazing things about donkey kong country returns. Can't wait to pick it up when I have some cash.
