I'm geting a Wii for Christmas. Need help.

for multiplayer fun, get new super mario bros wii. it's like the old 2-d mario games, except with 4 player simultanious co-op! it should be a very fun family game.

as for single player games, try out pikmin 1/2. they are kind of a strategy rpg where you play a space caption that leads a group of plant like things called pikmin to do your bidding, like building stuff, killing the native creatures, and searching for space parts/treasure. at the time when it came out on the gamecube, it was it's own little sub genre of it's own. theres been some similar games made resently, such as overlord and little kings story (also a very good game)

and for the aforementioned okami, it's a game that has a zelda feel to it (exploring dungeons, collecting stuff/abilities to get stronger, ext). it has a beautiful old japanese paper artstyle to it, and one of the main ideas of the game is using a paintbrush to draw symbols on the screen to use certain abilities, such as a simple line to slash enemies or random objects, colering in something thats missing or broken to fix it, or drawing a circle around a dead tree to bring it back to life. it'll also easely last you 40 hours. more if you want to get into all the sidequests.

um, i'll post more if i can think of any.
