Mario and Sonic is another good choice.

Yes, but it's a little too close to the whole Wii Sports theme. That's a shame too, because it has some neat edutainment style Olympics trivia in it, and would get better as we get closer to Beijing 2008.

Thank-you for all of the suggestions so far.

I feel I should add a little more background to this. My sister came over about two months ago with her eldest daughter. At the time, I had Wii Sports, Wii Play, Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 and Super Paper Mario. We played a bit of Wii Sports (okay, a lot), and I showed them the rest of the games I had. I've already shown them bits and pieces of the later parts of SPM and RRR1. I feel it'd kind of cheapen the experience a bit if I got them either of those two games. And I guess that kinda' rules out RRR2 too, unless it's a complete departure from the first game.

Thanks for the warning about Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, quigontcb.

So, out of the suggestions I've gotten so far, I'm considering:

• Super Mario Galaxy
• MySims
• Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
• Mario Party 8
• WarioWare: Smooth Moves
• Petz 2: Horsez
• Zelda: Twilight Princess

I've ruled out:

• Super Paper Mario (I've spoiled it)
• Rayman Raving Rabbids (I've spoiled this too)
• Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Too similar to Wii Sports)
• Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Thanks quigontcb, and I wasn't sure if they'd like the monkeys)

Sorry to be so picky, and thanks to everyone for suggestions. I honestly wouldn't have even considered Petz 2: Horsez, but it's a surprisingly good fit.

fkusumot, given what I've said about the RRR series, would you consider WarioWare to be a good, social hit with this tough crowd? More of a hit than Super Mario Galaxy would be?

 Actually from control/gameplay Mario&Sonic is more like Mario Party, RR, then Wii Sports. Its more done like the old "olympics" game on nes, snes. Thistime you just have to wave the Wii mote up and down instead of pushing the button as fast as possible.
