If I get RB 2, it'll be for my 360 so I can use my RB 1 controllers/songs

Good idea.

Wii is best played with Wi-Fi, especially with Mariokart, SSBB, COD:WaW
If you like adventure games get Zelda:Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. They are two of the best adventure games ive ever owned. Mario Galaxy is good too
if you like fallout you might like Resident Evil 4
Animal Crossing is good if you like casual games
I wouldn't bother with Wii Music or Wii fit - theyre fun for a while but get boring pretty quickly. Not worth what we paid for them
Nearly anything with Wi-fi is good
thats my input

I still get massive pleasure from Wii Sports. Seriously.

Also, I have Madden 09 and NCAA 09 and both are fun.

I have Mario Kart which is amazing. Especially if you hook it up to the internet and play people from Japan.

Also Mario Super Galaxy is fun.

I also have American Idol Karaoke because my sister bought it. It's alright.

My next purchase will be rockband.

I LOVE Super Smash Bros.
I liked Paper Mario better than Mario Galaxy.
Rayman's Raving Rabids is quite amazing.
Samba de Amigo is great.
Shaun White Snowboarding=awesome. Incredibly hard with the balance board.
DO NOT buy Ninja Bread Man.
I love my Wii fit, but I use it mostly for getting rid of my fat-arse.
Kabooki is great for parties & such.

I also love Mario/Sonic Olympics. I know alot of people who hate it though. They say it's "too hard".
There are many, many games that I need.

I didn't think Mario/Sonic Olympics was too hard. Just too terrible.

Super Paper Mario is a FANTASTIC game. I can vouch for it, for rizzle.

Super Paper Mario is great. A lot of reading, but it's good reading. The dialogue is immensely funny at some points. The first Raving Rabids is better than the second in my opinion and you can pick it up fairly cheap. Honestly, I would go with the cheap Rabid game if you don't have it. My sister has Samba de Amigo and I thought it was just alright. I didn't find it that spectacular, but it was definitely different than the normal rhythym games.

Personally, I wouldn't say it's best played with Wi-Fi. Most games have some lag when playing online. Granted, I haven't played COD yet, so it may be different and Mario Kart doesn't have the lag, but SSBB does. The Wi-Fi on the Wii is something you have to be careful with. Again, it's a great thing (when it works), but I wouldn't say it's the best way to play. The best way to play is with friends and family. That's the great part about the Wii system.

Oh, and another game you need to check out is Boom Blox. Don't expect much from the single player mode because the multi-player is where it's at with that game.

I only played it once, and I liked it...

Yup. The first one (though, I haven't played the 2nd...or the TV party. Anyone have it?)
Samba is fun with more than one person.

What my family's looking for now is multiplayer games, as we have a decent-sized crew. What are some good games that rock with 2+ people?

There are quite a few multiplayer games.
Mario Kart
Wii Sports is still a favorite.
Animal Crossing is a casual game, but I enjoy playing it with my friends.
Rock Band 2 obviously
I have summer sports which I found okay, but a lot of people hate it.
Raving Rabbids and you can have up to 8 players. I"ve played both 1 and 2 and I like both.
American Idol Karaoke up to 8 players. I have always had fun when playing this. Especially with the horrible singers in my family. Seriously.
Shaun White: Snowboarding
Game Party: 2 (1 sucks). I play this game with my guy friends a lot and it's fun.
MIdnight Bowling: I LOVE this game.
Super Smash Brothers
Big Brain Academy

Rayman Raving Rabbids is a great franchise for multiplayer, as is MarioKart.

PontiusPirate · 12-31-2008, 04:03 PM

Kabooki is great, but not to play alot..it's more of a party game.
Shaun White is great multi-player.

Cam42 · 12-31-2008, 04:27 PM

SSBB has tons of lag, but Mario Kart is pretty good.
Super Paper Mario was brilliant. absolutely brilliant.

tigerfan88 · 12-31-2008, 04:33 PM

Not a Wii owner myself, but I second getting either of the two Karaoke Revolution games out there. They're surprisingly fun for both single and multiple players. I own'em for 360 and get quite a lot of use out of them when my family is hanging around.

I'd definitely get Rock Band 2 for 360, though. I think, as it stands, the Wii version of Rock Band 2 is rather limited in terms of songs and features.

**bravesfan007** · 12-31-2008, 06:50 PM

I know I keep preaching these games but I would recommend the Rayman Raving Rabids and Boom Blox. I must be the only person on here who has played Boom Blox.
