I bought Mario Party 8 instead of WarioWare and maybe I made a mistake :(

Anyway, I cannot recommend Kororinpa Marble Mania for kids and adults. It is an amazing game and you will find it on the cheap online. Also, I know Mario and Sonic at the Olympics has been ruled out but that game seems perfect for kids and it should stay fresh all of next year because of the olympics. Also, I know this may sound strange but I would think about the Wii Zapper. Everyone in my family played Duck Hunt when I was a kid and none of us have gone crazy with guns or anything.

No mistake, MP 8 > wario ware.  Its fun for about half an hour which is all it takes to beat.  Mario Party should be considered more than wario ware.

 Lies. It takes many hours of play to unlock all microgames and minigames in WarioWare.

 I've played both games in a party environment. MP8 was a snoozefest while WW was a home run. I enjoyed WarioWare's solo play enough to play it repeatedly and unlock every game, but I can't picture myself having any fun playing MP8 alone. 

 My beef with Mario Party is that it's a board game with occaisional spurts of interactivity. Not even a very good board game. If they'd boil off more of the board game and mix in some more video game it would be much more fun.
