What are the best Wii games?

Now that I've finally decided to join 2006 and got myself a Wii, I need to know what games I should get for it.  I already have Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros.  Since my H is a game elitist, I will most likely play the majority of the games alone so nothing that requires multiple players please.

Re: What are the best Wii games?

  • I love Carnival Games and Glee Karaoke Revelation.

    Also if your H won't play if you set up the wireless you can play people online. 

  • You already have the best Wii game.  It's Mario cart, hands down.

    For kids, I love the Lego games, and my husband loves playing that with M, but I'm not sure how much fun they would be for just an adult.

  • I love all the Lego games especially Indiana Jones and Batman. They are probably easier with 2 players but can be played alone. ETA: I might be 12 at heart.

  • I think you guys have similar taste to me.  I like the games for kids.  I don't care about things like graphics.  I have added Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 to my wish list.

  • We love Just Dance and Just Dance 2.

  • My favorite is Just Dance. I also love the tennis, pool, and bowling. I think those are on the disc that comes with the game.
  • I bought T the Michael Jackson game for Christmas, it's fun.

  • Another rec for Lego Batman. It's pretty old now, so it should be super cheap. Lego Harry Potter is meh.

    Super Mario Galaxy is really good, too.

  • Groomz -- wasn't there a cheer game you liked a lot?

  • I got Donkey Kong Country for X-mas and I LOVE it, it's super fun.

  • Sadly, I agree that Lego Harry Potter is meh--too much repetition and too many glitches.  We got Batman for Christmas annd I think it's going to be my favorite.

  • We have We Cheer.  There's another cheerleading game called All-Star Cheer Squad or something like that, but I think the controls are a little easier on We Cheer.  You use 2 remotes as "pom poms", and on the other one, you use the remote in one hand and the nunchuck in the other and they're tethered together and it's a pain.

    Either way, my favorite thing about the cheering games was the movement/exercise coupled with songs I kinda liked, and you get a whole lot more of that with Just Dance, so if you're choosing between the two, definitely go with Just Dance.

    But you can probably get We Cheer or We Cheer 2 used for cheap.

  • I love Donkey Kong Country. I have been playing it nonstop for Christmas. 

    If you can get a group of Wii friends, Super Mario Bros. is a lot of fun with multiple players. It's very chaotic but will probably having you laughing hysterically. 

  • Netflix is my favorite Wii game.

  • When I'm not playing Wii Fit, I'm playing New Carnival Games that I got for Christmas. I also loved the original Carnival Games.

    My H has been playing a lot of Epic Mickey and Donkey Kong Country Returns and I've heard him recommend both to others.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • We got Donkey Kong Country Returns for Christmas too, and absolutely love it.  It's so much fun.  Also, if your H played DKC as a kid, I seriously bet he'd play the new one with you.

    Still my favorite game for Wii is WarioWare Smooth Moves.  It's fun with a bunch of people, but I play it alone a lot too.  You could probably get it super cheap used.  Another older one I loved was Trauma Center.

    Definitely love Just Dance 2.  I couldn't stop playing it after my cousin got it after Christmas.

  • Tell me more about Trauma Center.  I see on Amazon that there's a "Wii Surgical Kit" special remote.  Is that necessary?

    Nope! All I have is the normal wiimote and nunchuk. It's a surgery game, you're a "resident" and there's a cheesy storyline where you basically perform different surgeries in a set amount of time.

  • So it's like a Wii version of Operation?

  • NO. You have to make incisions and sterilize the wound and stuff. Saving lives is no joke.

  • I may try that. It's cheap.

  • Mr M and I found it helpful to play as a team. One person would play while the other person helped coach them. All those beeps get distracting.

    Since your H is a snob, I'll volunteer my services. I can bring wine and the game.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
