Ok you Wii wees....I need some advise. I'm getting a Wii for my son for his birthday. Besides the sports bundle, what games are a no brainer?
We STILL play Super Smash Bros 64 so that's a done deal for the Wii. What else would you suggest? He loves WoW...is there anythign like that on the Wii?
No real RPG's for the Wii as of yet. If you like Smash I suggest Mario Kart.
Mario cart is cool, the sports bundle will keep you occupied for a while by itself.
You could always try Zelda.
Zelda was a must for me.
depends on what kinds of games he likes, does he like party type games, like with groups of peoeple? or purely solo, etc
Metroid was a good FPS type game. There are a few 'sleeper' games out there that are fun too.
There are a few games that are great, but it's hard to sort through the other 195 games that kind of suck.
Some must haves:
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga
some that are probably really good, but I haven't played them:
mario cart
metroid
Some others to think about:
Iron man (I'm going to rent this one over the weekend to see if it's worth purchasing)
Upcoming SpiderMan:Web of Shadows
Others I've enjoyed playing:
Trama Center: Second Opinion
Dance Dance Revolution
ok... These are the ones I have
No More Heroes~ Violent sword/lightsaber type game. A lot of cursing and blood. Basis is you are trying to become the #1 assassin.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles~ Rail shooter. Very good game IMO. It puts you through events of the first RE games.
Endless Ocean~ Dont waste your time or money... just had to have a bad one
Ghost Squad~ Arcade shooter. Kinda like Virtua Cop. You have three missions to play but as you beat them more paths are opened in each mission. Cheap game and I still give it a go round every now and then.
Mario Galaxy~ What can I say... it is Mario. Very fun and a trip. Gameplay is great.
Along with Kart, Metroid and SSBB... but we went over those already
Ok, this is what I ended up with.

Anyways, what else do I need to go 4 player on Smash Bros?
good job getting wiiplay, i was going to suggest that for getting an extra controller
I have the exact set up and love it. I got into trouble for letting my 2.7 yr old play boxing. Now all he wants to do is weeve, bob, and punch. LMAO. I am looking at getting a wii Olympics game. It an be played online with friends and family.
you can use the gamecube controllers for smash brothers.. which I suggest
I forgot about another fun game... Excitetruck!
Very cool game.. get yourself an SD card and you can load up your own soundtrack for the races.
Ya, the Game Stop guy strongly suggested the GC controller too. I figure 4 of those plus the Smash Bros game should be a damn fine starter kit for now.
Wii Play is fun for a short time. the shooting game, battle tanks, and pool are great for some quick play time.
looks like you got a good price, that's almost the same amount you'd pay retail for those items.
stop it with the wii threads cuz its making me want to buy one...
Just don't put your hands on one. You will never put it down
Oh, I know. Ive played one briefly at a party on new years eve. It was fun, however when I think of getting one I remember back to when a bunch of my buddies bought it when it first came out and none of them have it anymore cuz they said it was lame...
don't get me wrong. Wii Sports does get old fast, but now they have a good list of quality games to keep you busy
I use nunchuck and wii joy stick for smash brothers...and i dominate those who use game cube joysticks....
yeah my wife got one of these for x-mas back when there was long lines and all. i had a friend he got one from his work and sold it to me he even got employee discount.
i was going to sugest zela and metroid. the wife only has the sports pack it comes with and she just got the new mario cart and 2 of the streering wheel things. her and the kids love it. they paly enough i can finally unplugg guitare hero from my x-box 360 and play grand theft auto 4 i got last week for my birthday.
start looking at the new star wars game what I read wii is the one to play it on
