Bought a Wii for my daughter, name some good games

Ok, so it's a bit more for me since she's only 4, but seriously, throw out some good game titles for me to play. I've been out of the video game sector for years, so I have no idea what's good and what's bad. Also, if any of you have really young kids, what are some easy games to get her use to using the controller?

I had my mom buy my husband "New Super Mario Bro" for Christmas and he has been playing it as much as he can.

It has the same feel as old Super Mario Brothers.

Also, Mario Kart is awesome.

We also have the Wii Fit which is a lot of fun.

BTW - This is just me and my husband that play it so I have know clue if a four year old would like them.

Animal Crossing and Cosmic Family are good kid's games, I think. There are a shit ton of kid's games for the Wii, at her age, I'd hit up Gamestop/Best Buy's clearance bins.

I like all the shooting games like House of the Dead and Cabella's. Wii Sports and Resort are games that have a number of games in them and could easily be played by both of you, since the controls are VERY simplistic. Of course, one of my favorite features of the Wii, is the ability to download old Nintendo titles like Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong.

Well, you hook up to the internet and you go to the Wii browser and get into Wii shop and go from there. Most games are about $6-10 and you can either buy Wii points cards at a store or use your credit card to buy points on the site.

I got Wii Resort for my girl and it is stupid fun. Just basic games like ping pong, bowling, golf, cycling, archery, etc. But really fun and far better than the included game.

Amber Lamps · 12-26-2009, 01:12 AM

Oh and it's not just old Nintendo games BTW, you can get old Sega games, old Commodore 64 games, old Turbografix16 games,
old Neo Geo games, etc...

Yep! Did you get the one with the two motion plus add on pieces? I was surprised how much of a difference they make! The fencing is my favorite with archery a close second.
